Opening of lesson: (Objectives, hook, behavior expectations) Opening Question: How many of you have ever read a sentence and you heard a word that didnt sound right? Well, today, Im going to show you a strategy that you can use when you read a word that doesnt sound right or make sense in the sentence. Introduce the strategy flip a sound: 1. When we notice we hear a word that doesnt sound right, we can think about what letter sound we can change to make it sound like a word we know. 2. So heres what we can do. First were going to look at the word and try to sound it out. Follow along with me. (Take out left hand, palm facing down). 3. Example: spider. Say spider with the short I sound with palm facing down. (Accommodation: Could ask a student or you can write the word spider on the whiteboard).

4. Emphasize on the short I sound and ask the students if they know theres another sound that the I makes. 5. Students should note the long I sound. Show students that when they change the short I sound in the word, spider, into the long I sound, flip palm upward and say 6. Check and ask students if the word sounds right, look right, and does it make sense. Today were going to see if we can try to listen for any words that may not sound right and were going to see if we can flip the sound to make the word make sense. So today, were going to be reading Pete the Cat and His Groovy Buttons. Try to listen to any words

Procedures: Include critical thinking questions and accommodations for individual needs Read Pete the Cat and His Groovy Buttons. Make mistakes when reading certain words and stop to prompt students with questions referring to the flip a sound strategy. Some questions to ask: - Did the word we just read sound right? - When you flip the sound, listen for a word that you recognize. - What other sound could that letter make? Words to practice on as you read and make a mistake on pronouncing the sound (depending on time, do not need to practice on every word listed): ** Reminder: Use hand motion every time we flip a sound. Encourage students to flip a sound with you through using the hand motion. Favorite say favorite with a short a sound ** Model how to flip a sound for this word.

Summary/Closing: Remind students how they just used flip a sound strategy to help them find words that didnt sound right. Tell students and remind them: So when you are reading for daily five or when youre reading a book at home, you can always take a word and flip a sound until you hear a sound that looks right, sounds right, and make sense.

Add CAF strategy to the menu on the white board. Student Assessment: Verbal assessment as we progress through the book. - Assess students knowledge of letter sounds and to see if they can sound out a different letter sound depending on the letter - Assess students ability to decode words by replacing a new letter sound in the word - Assess students awareness when words do not sound right by asking if students realize a word does not sound right when teacher is reading a sentence
