We have lots of water so we have to get planting.

Hey, welcome back to discovery ranch.

I'm Mr. Dawson, and I'm here to take you on discovery so you can learn how to read and write.

Join me here each day, so we can go on discoveries together.

I'm so excited.

In fact, don't forget, that if you will write to me right here at the station, and tell me something you've learned, guess what I'm going to do?

I'm going to send you an activity book.

You've seen them all this week so you know what they look like.

All you have to do is write to me and tell me something you learned and you will get one of those books as well.

Do it today.

Well, let's get ready for, daily phonemic awareness.

Today.

I'm gonna do something new.

Oh my goodness.

It's gonna take your ears listening very closely.

Are you ready?

I'm gonna say a word.

Here's my word.

Mice.

Mice.

Can you say mice?

Okay.

Here's the game.

If I take the off of /m/, off of mice, what's my new word?

Can you do it?

So I have mice.

Mice.

And I take /m/ off, what's left?

Right.

You got it.

Ice.

That was wonderful.

Do you that game works?

Okay.

Here's the next one.

Are you ready?

Here's a good word.

Cape.

Can you say cape?

Right.

Okay.

If I have cape, and I take the /c/ off of cape, what's my new word?

I'm going to take the /c/ off.

/c/ ape.

Ape.

There it is.

Yes.

Yes.

You got it.

That's wonderful.

You did it.

Okay.

Let's do one more.

One more.

This one's got...

I got to get a hard one.

Cause you guys are so smart.

Here it is.

I'm gonna have, here's the word, price.

Can you say price?

Yes.

Price.

Okay.

Now, if I take the /p/, off of price, what would I have?

So I have price, and I take /p/ off.

/p/ /p/ Do you guys have it?

This is a hard one.

Rice.

Right.

Rice.

If I take the /p/ off of price, I'll have rice.

Excellent job.

Oh my goodness.

That was a fun phonemic awareness.

Oh my goodness.

We'll have to do that one again for sure.

But right now let's stop, and look at our sight words.

Remember, sight words are really important.

Why?

Because we, if I can put them in my head, and I see them in a book, I'll just be able to say, "I know that word."

Or if I need to write it when I'm writing, I can say, "Do I know that word?

Yes I do."

And I can write it.

So let's take a look at our sight words.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Go.

G O spells go.

She.

S H E spells she.

Little.

L I T T L E spells little.

Is.

I S spells is.

With.

W I T H spells with.

He.

H E spells he.

Are.

A R E spells are.

My.

M Y spells my.

Do.

D O spells do.

And you.

Y O U spells you.

Get to know these words.

Put them in your brain.

Don't let them ever escape.

And then when you read books you'll see them all the time, and then you'll know them.

All right.

Let's do sentences.

Shall we do sentences?

Remember when we have a sentence, it has four parts, but then I'm gonna tell you a secret of a fifth one.

But it has to have a capital uppercase letter.

Our first letters uppercase.

And then it also has to have the ending punctuation which is the period.

It could be a question mark or an exclamation point.

And then, you have to have a naming word which is the noun.

And then you have to have the telling word, which is the verb.

But also, the sentence has to make sense.

Well, let's take a look at our sentences today.

Here they are.

Look at that.

Okay.

So, it says, if the word order in the sentence is correct and make sense, we'll write a C. If it is not, write an N. Then we have to circle the subject which is the noun, and underline the verb in each sentence.

So here we go.

Here's the first one.

I see a dog.

Well, it has the upper case, the period, and the noun and the verb.

Does it make sense?

Yes.

It made sense.

So guess what?

I'm going to write a C on there.

That made sense.

Okay.

Let's take a look at the next one.

The next one says, Mike likes the book.

All right.

Let's take a look.

Did it have uppercase first letter?

Yes.

Does it have a punctuation?

Yes.

Mike is the noun, and likes is the verb.

So it makes...

It has all four parts.

Did it make sense?

Mike likes the book.

Yes, it made sense.

So I'm going to write the letter C. Let me get my pen.

There.

Different color.

It's the one I grabbed, but that's okay.

Okay.

Let's take a look at the last one.

Park go we to a. Alright.

Does it have an uppercase first letter?

It does.

It has a punctuation, but it doesn't make sense when I read that: Park go we to a.

That does not make sense.

So I'm gonna write that N, right there on the space.

N, not right.

Not correct.

So now I have a problem.

I have to figure out, what is the noun, the subject, and what is the verb.

Park go we to.

I wonder what it's supposed to say?

Not park.

That is a noun, but it doesn't sound like it's the subject noun.

(gasping) I know.

We.

We.

We.

And what am I going to do?

We what?

We go.

Right.

We go.

All right.

So the we and the go, have to be right there.

And then where are we going?

I know.

To a park.

Okay, here we go.

So we have to do, we.

That's our subject noun so we're gonna go, we.

And that has to be uppercase, because we know that for sure, that a sentence has to have a uppercase first letter.

We go.

(gasps) There we go.

That makes sense.

We go.

where?

To the... Not to the.

It's supposed to be a.

So that's all right.

I made a mistake.

A.

We go to a park.

There we go.

We go to a park.

And then I have to put my period, because that's part of the deal.

So we have our uppercase first letter, we have our period, and we have our noun and our verb.

So yes.

Now we have it going on.

We go to a park.

Wow.

Our day is just getting away from us but let's do our letters.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

W, window /w/.

Do it with me.

Let's have fun.

G, guitar, /g/.

Y, yo-yo, /y/.

K, koala, /ck/.

B, bat, /b/.

D, dolphin, /d/.

Q, queen, /qu/.

H, hippo, /h/.

E, egg, /e/.

And remember, we've been talking about how vowels have two phonemes.

That's right.

And E is the same.

It can also not only say, /e/ but can also say /i/.

And these were our clues.

Do you remember all those clues?

Well, I wanna use those clues right here, when we look at these words.

Here we go.

You ready?

This says me.

Me.

And you see how it has the E there?

There you go.

Now this is weed.

Weed.

E. Now what is the clue there?

I'm gonna look back just in...

Right.

I have it.

Here we go.

It's E, E. Weed.

Weed.

(shouts) You know what?

I'm gonna skip way down to the bottom, because I want to do our book and we're running out of time.

This one says, Pete.

And it has, it has the E, blank, E rule.

Okay.

So I think that's what it is.

E, and then E. That says, Pete.

And I can see it on a shirt.

Do you see that?

Well, let's stop there, and end up looking at our story, that we did on Monday and I didn't even get to (mumbles) and I promised we would do it today.

And so I shall.

Here's the word or the story: See a Bee.

I see a bee.

Eve can see a bee.

We peek at the bee.

Can we keep the bee?

No.

The bee is on the weed.

I'm gonna give you one of the clues, and let's see if you can find it.

Can you find one that has E, blank, E?

Yes.

Yes.

You did it.

Eve.

Look.

Right there.

E, blank, E. There it is.

Okay.

How about another one?

Here's another one.

Can you find one that has the double E. (shouts) Yes.

Right here.

Right here.

I like this one.

/p/ eek.

Peek.

Peek-a-boo.

All right.

Maybe, find one more, that has the E E. I like that one too.

Right here.

/w/ eed.

Weed.

There it is, the E E. You did a fabulous job.

That's awesome.

Oh my goodness.

There are so many examples of the E E and the E blank E, that is helping us to know, that the E is gonna say its name and not as sound.

We've learned so much today.

It's so exciting that you've come.

We've learned about the long E, and we've learned about sentences.

Tomorrow we're gonna use it, for our reading days.

Come back, and we're going to do reading.

We'll talk to you later.

Bye.
