Remember when we learned how to spell /j/ at the end of a word? We always use… g e
The new rule we will learn today is ONLY used in words with… ge at the end!
Look at this word! Look at the e at the end of this word. The e does two jobs! /j/ /ue/ hug e 2. The e also helps to spell ge at the end of this word….and we know that makes the sound say /j/! 1. The e helps the vowel to say its name!
Let’s make this word with geat the end too! Let's say the sounds together! That does not sound right! Screech is going to teach us about something to help us with words like this! Does this e do 2 jobs too? b a e g
Now Screech wants you to meet… DEFENDER d
We use DEFENDER d in words with geat the end…that also need the vowel to say its sound! Let’s put him to work! d
Let’s try to make this word again! b a g e When DEFENDER d stands between the vowel and What’s Your Name e, he can not call over to the vowel anymore! Mr. e usually cannot call over 2 letters to say, “What’s Your Name?” Say the sounds with me! Defender d can help! You’ve got it! d That does not sound right! What can we do to save the word?
Let’s make a new word! That does not sound right! Now say the sounds with me! b g r i e d So bring in DEFENDER d! DEFENDER d to the Rescue! Now that DEFENDER d is in the word, annoying Mr. e cannot call over to the vowel! You did it! d
Let’s make another word! Now say the sounds with me! j g e That does not sound right! u Good work! We just needed DEFENDER d to make the word sound right! DEFENDER d to the rescue! d Looks like we need DEFENDER d! d
Let’s make this word! Let’s say the sounds together! l ou n ge Yes! What is the girl doing? Do we need DEFENDER d in this word? Does the word sound right? No! DEFENDER d is not needed in this word! d
Help me make this color word! Let’s say the sounds together to see if we need DEFENDER d or not! Yes! d Does the word sound correct? s a e g No need for DEFENDER d this time!
Let’s do another one! f i g e r Now say the sounds with me! d DEFENDER d to the rescue!! That does not sound right! Who do we need to save this word? Awesome! d You guessed it!
Now look at this word- Good Job! He cannot yell over 2 letters! hinge Say the sounds with me! 1 2 This word does NOT need DEFENDER d because there is already another letter preventing Mr. e from calling over to the vowel! Look! Mr. e cannot usually call over 2 letters!
Now it is time to hunt for words with DEFENDER d! edge page huge lodge badge wage lunge ridge dog
Great work, Boys & Girls! I am so glad you understand how to decide whether or not a word needs DEFENDER d! Remember to test the word by reading it to see if it sounds correct! d
