I'm Mrs. Hammock, and I'm here to help you practice and learn all of the skills that you need to be an excellent reader and writer.

Did you know that you can read about other things like math and shapes?

And so I was reading a story called "Tortillas are Round."

And you know what I love about this?

Is it's in two languages.

Yeah, it's in Spanish and in English.

Isn't that cool?

So awesome.

This story is all about shapes, and I really love it.

It gives you an idea of where you can see shapes in your everyday life, Isn't that awesome?

How fun?

Well, I hope that you would like to read some books like this about shapes and numbers and all kinds of things.

So you might look for this on Sora or at your county public library or maybe even at your own school library.

That would be fun.

All right.

Hey, last week we were doing a digital reading challenge in Fresno Unified and we named our number five school Aynesworth, they came in with the fifth most minutes read.

So today let's see who's in the number four spot.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Here we go.

Turner Tigers, very nice!

Great job Turner!

Terrific!

Turner is terrific!

That is awesome!

Turner is fourth in our district in digital minutes read, that is great.

Boys and girls, I would love for you to get one of our activity books.

I have a lot of different kind over here.

I have "Pinkalicious" and "Curious George" and "Super Why" if you would like to have one of these, all you need to do is write to me here in our PBS Classroom.

You can send me a letter to the address on the screen, or, you can send me an email.

Just make sure you give me your address so I know where to send this, okay?

I would love to hear from you and I'll write you back.

All right, I can't wait to read your letters, and I love reading what you're learning about.

All right my friends, it's time for us to train our ears.

Are you ready?

Today we're going to play a game that you are super good at, it's phoneme segmenting, are you ready?

So do you remember what that means?

Right, I'm going to tell you a word, and you are gonna take it apart one sound at a time and then tell me how many sounds you heard.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Your first word, moose.

Moose.

All right, how many sounds do you think?

I hear some guessing.

All right, let's tap it out and see.

/m/ /oo/ /se/ moose.

How many times did I tap?

One, two, three, good job.

There are three phonemes in the word moose.

How about school?

School.

Should we do it with our fingers this time?

Okay, ready?

/s/ /ch/ /oo/ /l/ /s/ /ch/ /oo/ /l/ school.

How many sounds did you hear?

Right, four, great job!

All right, let's try broom.

Broom.

/b/ /r/ Oh those blends sometimes are tricky to hear.

Broom, /br/ /oo/ /m/ broom.

Terrific!

That also has four.

How about the word grew?

You look like you grew since I saw you last.

Grew.

/g/ /r/ /ew/ Grew.

It has three phonemes.

Did you hear all of the /oo/ sounds in our segmenting today?

Right?

Because we're training our ears to hear sounds so that we can learn to read them and spell them correctly.

And that is what we're gonna do next, right?

Here we go.

We're looking at our spoon card.

Our spoon card has a whole bunch of spellings.

We're gonna read all of the spellings and then we're going to practice a few.

So say them with me please.

O-O says, /oo/.

U consonant E says, /ue/.

U says, /u/.

E-W says, /ew/.

U-E says, /ue/.

O-U says, /ou/.

And U-I says, /ui/.

Ooh, that is a lot.

Today, we're gonna focus on, that's right, two of them.

We're gonna look at O-O says, /oo/, and E-W says, /ew/.

All right.

Let's blend this one together, all right?

Get your thinking caps on, here we go, /r/ /oo/ /t/, root.

Root.

Good job!

Now, remember when we're blending words, we wanna stretch that phoneme out so that it touches the next sound, /r/ /oo/ /t/ and then we say faster, root.

Good job!

Let's look at this word.

Here's an N it says, /n/ and then we have, /ew/ /n/ /ew/, new, great job!

New.

This is like, I bought some new shoes.

Very nice.

All right.

Now let's build a word using O-O sound, are you ready to try it?

All right.

I'm going to tell you a word and I want you to tell me what sounds I need to build this word.

Here's our pattern that we're gonna use.

Let's write the word moon.

Moon.

What are you here at the beginning, right?

It's a M. We learned that a long time ago.

So here we have, oh, what does that say?

Moo, just like a cow.

What if we want it to say moon?

Yes, we have to add the N, good job.

Moon.

Moon.

Good.

What if I want moon to say mood?

He was in a good mood.

Right?

Look, all I do is change the ending phoneme.

Now it says mood.

So if you know how to write moon, then you would know how to write mood.

What if I want mood to be food?

Food.

Okay, this part's the same, isn't it?

/oo/ /d/.

But this part needs to change, the beginning phoneme is gonna change to the F, /f/ /oo/ /d/, food.

All right.

What if someone's being super silly, crazy, and we say, oh, he's being a fool.

Fool.

What's that sound?

Right, look at that.

Look at all the words you were able to build just by changing the beginning or the ending phoneme.

That's exactly why we practice sound spelling patterns, because it helps you build a bunch of words once you know the pattern.

Let's take a look at our reading chart.

We read most of these yesterday, but we're gonna read them all week long so we get really good at it.

You ready?

Here we go.

Soup, room, soon, tools, super, cool.

Rude, drew, new, blue, juice, you and look.

Let's stop there for today because I have some high-frequency words that you need to practice, and then we're gonna do some structural analysis with suffixes.

I'll tell you what that is in a minute.

All right, let's take a look.

Let's get our chart ready.

Today, we have two words that we're gonna focus on.

Let's look at them.

This word says, answer.

Spell it with me.

A-N-S-W-E-R, answer.

And the next one is eyes.

Eyes.

I have two eyes, E-Y-E-S. All right, you ready to tell me which sentence the words belong in?

Here we go.

Dad said, "Please hm, me now."

Hmm!

The next one says, we use our hm to see.

Oh, did you get the context clue?

We use and something to see?

What do we use to see?

Right, our eyes.

Good job!

That means dad said, "Please answer me now."

Good work!

All right, let's talk about word parts.

When we take a group of letters and add them to the end of a word that is called a suffix.

A suffix.

And a suffix is a letter or a group of letters added to the end of words to change their meaning.

So when we put that on a word, it actually changes what the word means.

I'm gonna help you figure that out in just a second.

So let's take a look here.

We're gonna talk about two suffixes this week.

You see I have my line in front that means it goes at the end of a word.

This suffix is ful, F-U-L, ful.

And when we add this onto a word, it means full or full of.

We also have the suffix less, - less.

See there's the line that rreminds us it goes at the end.

And when we add -less, it means without, without.

So something is without.

All right.

Let's take a look at an example, right?

I'm gonna move them up here just because I think they're easier for you to see.

We'll move down our sight words and I want you to be able to see them really, really well.

So I'm gonna move them up to the top.

So here I have the word help, help.

Help can be changed by adding the suffix ful.

So if I add ful, now our word becomes helpful.

Helpful means full of help.

See how that works?

So it also, did you notice it also adds a syllable, because the word help has one syllable, help.

When we add ful, now we have help ful.

It adds a whole nother syllable.

And it means full of help.

But what about if we add less?

What if I have help less?

What does help less mean?

Helpless.

Right!

Look what it says, less means without.

So it means without help.

So if something is helpless, the little bird was helpless to feed itself, that means it was without help helpless.

And that adds a syllable too, doesn't it?

Help then help less.

Good job!

So when we add a suffix to a word, it also adds a syllable, and it changes the meaning of the word.

Great job today, you have learned so many things.

Come back tomorrow so we can practice our high-frequency words.

our spoons spelling card, our suffixes ful and less.

And we're gonna practice doing a little more reading because that's how you get good at it, right?

Remember, you can do hard things and I believe in you.
