Letter-Sound Correspondence
Letter-Sound Mix-Up

Materials
Letter-sound sheets (Activity Master F.001.AM1a - F.001.AM1b) Some letters have more than one sound (e.g., c, g, s, x, y, and all vowels). It is suggested that when timing, students say only one sound per letter. ere are two versions of the sheets (i.e., 1 and 2). Students may use either one or both. Make two copies of each sheet and laminate. Sounds correct per minute record (Activity Master F.001.AM2) Timer (e.g., digital) Pencils Vis--Vis markers

Activity
Students take turns identifying sounds of letters in a timed activity. 1. Place two copies of the letter-sound sheets and timer at the center. Provide each student with a sounds correct per minute record. 2. Taking turns, student one sets the timer for one minute and tells student two to begin. 3. Student two goes across the page, points to each letter, and says sound of letter (e.g., points to the letter b, says /b/). Student one follows on his copy and uses a Vis--Vis marker to draw a line through any letters that are mispronounced. If all sounds are pronounced, go back to the top and continue until timer goes o. 4. Student two counts number of sounds pronounced correctly and records on his sounds correct per minute record. 5. Repeat the activity at least two more times attempting to increase speed and accuracy. 6. Reverse roles. 7. Peer evaluation

Extensions and Adaptations


Say letter name and sound. Time how long it takes to pronounce all sounds. Say all possible sounds during the timing for c, g, s, x, y, and all vowels.

Digraph and Diphthong Dash

Materials
Digraph-diphthong practice sheets (Activity Master F.002.AM1a - F.002.AM1b) Digraphs presented are: ay, ea, oa, au, ai, oo, ee, aw, ph, sh, th, ch, wh, kn, ck. Diphthongs presented are: oy, oi, ow, and ou. ere are two versions of the sheets (i.e., 1 and 2). Students may use either one or both. Note: Some letter combinations have more than one sound (e.g., ea as in eat, head, break; ow as in now, row; ou as in out, four, you, country; th as in think, this; oo as in foot, boot, oor; ch as in chin, chorus, chivalry; ai as in bait and said). It is suggested that, when timing, students say only one sound per letter combination. Sounds correct per minute record (Activity Master F.001.AM2) Timer (e.g., digital) Pencils

Activity
Students take turns identifying digraphs and diphthongs in a timed activity. 1. Place the digraph-diphthong practice sheets and timer at the center. Provide each student with a sounds correct per minute record. 2. Taking turns, students practice reading the digraphs and diphthongs aloud to each other. 3. Student one sets the timer for one minute and tells student two to begin. 4. Student two reads across the page while student one follows on his copy and uses a Vis--Vis marker to mark any digraphs and diphthongs that are read incorrectly. If all on the sheet are read, go back to the top and continue reading. Continues until timer goes o. 5. Student one marks the last digraph or diphthong read and counts the number read correctly. 6. Student two records the number of digraphs or dipthongs read correctly on his record. 7. Repeat the activity at least two more times attempting to increase speed and accuracy. 8. Reverse roles. 9. Peer evaluation

Extensions and Adaptations


Use the mixed letter-sound, digraph, diphthong sheet 3 (Activity Master F.002.AM2). Say all possible sounds during the timing for the digraphs (i.e., ea, ow, ou, th, oo, ch, ai). Use teacher-made practice sheets with repeating words containing target digraphs and diphthongs (e.g., meat, wheat, seal, mean, treat, seal, meat, treat, wheat, mean).

Syllable Speed Practice

Materials
Syllable speed practice sheets (Activity Master F.005.AM1a - F.005.AM1f ) Each sheet has a dierent syllable type (i.e., open, closed, r-controlled, VCE, vowel teams, cons-le). Select target practice sheet. Twenty syllables are presented on each page. Make two copies of each sheet and laminate. Note: All vowels are pronounced long on the open syllable sheet. Syllables correct per minute graph (Activity Master F.005.SS) Timer (e.g., digital) Vis--Vis markers

Activity
Students quickly read syllables by doing timed practices. 1. Place two copies of the target syllable speed practice sheet and timer at the center. Provide each student with a syllables correct per minute graph. 2. Taking turns, students practice reading the syllables aloud to each other before beginning the timing. 3. Student one sets the timer for one minute and tells student two to begin. 4. Student two reads across the page while student one follows on his copy and uses a Vis--Vis marker to draw a line through any syllables that are read incorrectly. If all the syllables on the sheet are read, go back to the top and continue reading. 5. When the timer goes o, student one marks the last syllable read. Counts the number of syllables read correctly. 6. Student two graphs number of syllables read correctly on his syllables correct per minute graph. 7. Repeat the activity at least two more times attempting to increase speed and accuracy. 8. Reverse roles. 9. Teacher evaluation

Extensions and Adaptations


Use practice sheet containing all six syllable types (Activity Master F.005.AM2). Use advanced graphs with more uent readers (Activity Master F.025.SS2 and F.025.SS3).

Objective
e student will gain speed and accuracy in recognizing letter-sounds and word parts.

Materials
Letter-sound and word part cards (Activity Master F.006.AM1a - F.006.AM1f ) ese cards consist of common consonant digraphs, vowel digraphs, diphthongs, initial blends, and a sampling of syllables. Some letter combinations have more than one sound (e.g., oo as in foot, boot, oor; ea as in eat, head, break; ar as in car, dollar; ch as in chin, chorus, chivalry). It is suggested that students say only one sound per letter combination when doing this activity.

Activity
Students quickly identify letter-sounds and word parts in a card game. 1. Place letter-sound and word part cards in a stack face down at the center. 2. Working in pairs, students sit side-by-side and place up to 15 letter-sound and word part cards face up in rows. 3. Student one looks at the cards, says a sound or word part, and counts to ve silently while student two quickly nds, points, and says the sound or word part. 4. If the word part is identied before the count of ve, student two picks up the card. Student two replaces the card with a new letter-sound or word part card. If the letter-sound or word part card is not identied, student one points to the card and says another letter-sound or word part. 5. Reverse roles and continue until all cards have been identied. 6. Peer evaluation

Common Syllables

F.CS.001

This list is comprised of 337 common syllables found in the 5,000 most frequent English words. 100 are nonword syllables and can be found in card format with activity F.004. The remaining 237 can be found in card format following this listing. Some of these 237 syllables may actually be words. However, for these activities, they are intended to be used as syllables. For example, the letters t-r-y spell the word try, but they also represent the second syllable in the word coun-try. Furthermore, there are instances when a syllable will have more than one pronunciation. The syllable dy can be pronounced /de/ as in candy, or /di/ as in dynamite. In addition, all syllables ending with a vowel are pronounced with a long vowel sound (e.g., t-a is pronounced /ta/). It is up to the judgment and expertise of the teacher regarding how and when to introduce the syllables in the classroom as well as how to pronounce them during the activities. It is suggested, however, that during timings only one pronunciation be required.
