Decoding Longer Words Structural Analysis VCV Pattern
California Standards: • R1.2 Decode multisyllabic words • R 1.6 Use context to figure out new words
Objectives Students will: • divide words with a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern into syllables • learn academic language: VCVpattern
VCV Pattern • We can often figure out how to pronounce a word by looking at the pattern of vowels and consonants. • Words with a VCV pattern usually divide before the consonant. This causes the first syllable to have a long vowel sound ( The vowel says its name.).
VCV VCV VCV • When a syllable ends in a vowel, it usually has the long vowel sound • Examples: began paper maker be/gan pa/per ma/ker
/ Think aloud: moment v-c-v When I look at this word I see the VCV pattern o-m-e. I’ll try dividing the word between the first vowel and the consonant and pronouncing the o with a long vowel sound. The word might sound like /moh–ment/. That sounds right. I know that a moment is a word that I have heard that means just a short bit of time.
v-c-v VCV Pattern • Many VCV words divide after the consonant, so the first syllable has a short vowel sound. / cover
Let’s look at a few more words: visit / / v-c-v Try dividing the word after the vowel. That would give the first i a long sound, like /eye/ which doesn’t sound like a word I know . Next, try dividing it after the s. That would give the first i a short sound. That does sound like a word I know! / viz-it/
Let’s look at one more word: before / v-c-v Try dividing the word after the vowel. That would give the first e a long sound which sounds like a word I know.
Take out your whiteboards. Copy the underlined words. • The cafeteria opens at eleven-thirty. • I need a topic for my report. • I spied a thin, white figure drifting into the room. • My grandma’s vision isn’t very good. Work with a partner to divide the words into syllables, decode the words, and give their meanings.
Take out your purple practice book. Turn to page 146 • Write the word from the box that belongs in each group. (Notice that each word in the box follows the VCV pattern.) • As you use each word, cross it off. • Draw a line between the syllables as we did in the lesson we just completed. • If you come to one that you don’t know, skip it and come back to it later.
