Decoding and Word Attack Review Lessons 6,7,8,and 9

1. Decoding and Word Attack ReviewLessons 6,7,8,and 9

2. Our objective: • To use our knowledge of syllable patterns to decode longer words!

3. Consonant plus le (review of lesson 6) • Look at these words and listen to me read them: • turtle pinacle • tur/tle pin/a/cle • Remember: • In these words the 1st syllable received the stress • The 2nd syllable is unaccented (or unstressed) and the vowel sound is pronounced as a schwa (neither long nor short, but sounds similar to /ŭ/) • Divide the word into syllables before the consonant plus le. • Pronounce the final vowel sound as a schwa

4. Same Medial Consonants (review of lesson 7) • Look at these words and listen to me read them: • pretty collect • Notice that these words have two vowels that are the same in the middle (double medial consonants) • Remember: • The double consonants in the middle stand for one sound, and the words are divided into syllables between the 2 consonants . • Turn and tell your partner where to divide the words above into syllables and decide how many syllables there are. • pret/ty col/lect

5. Different medial consonants (Lesson 8) • Look at these words and listen to me read them: • thunder usher • The two medial consonants (consonants in the middle) are different. • Remember: • When each middle consonant stands for its own sound, as in thunder, the syllables are divided between the 2 consonants • When the two middle consonants combine to make one sound, like the sh in usher, the two consonants stay together in the same syllable. • Turn to your partner and divide the 2 words above into syllables. • thun/der ush/er

6. Don’t get confused!! • If the two consonants in the middle combine to make one new sound (th, sh, ph, ch, ck, wr, etc.) then the two consonants stay together in the same syllable. • BUT- if the two consonants in the middle are the same (bb, dd, ll, etc.) and are making one sound, then divide the word between the two consonants. • Remember- we are learning these general rules to help us read unfamiliar words!!

7. Three Medial Consonants (Lesson 9) • Look at these words and listen to me read them: • harsher subtract • Notice the 3 consonants in the middle of both of these words • When one consonant stands for 1 sound and the other 2 consonants stand for 1 sound, like the sh in harsher, the syllables are divided between the two sounds. • When one consonant stands for 1 sound and the other 2 consonants form a blend, like the tr in subtract, the syllables are divided before or after the blend. • With your partner break the two above words into syllables- tell your partner which two letters make a blend and where to break the word into syllables. up/hol/ster ten/dril

8. Let’s practice! Think about the rules we discussed. With your partner look at these words. Decide where to break these words into syllables and read the words. Be sure you can tell each other why you divided the words the way that you did. grapple buffer quintuplets congressional grap/ple quin/tup/lets buf/fer con/gres/sion/al Medial consonants- 2 different sounds 3 medial consonants- gr-blend stays together Consonant +le Double consonant 1 sound

9. Remember: • Use your knowledge of ___________ ___________ to decode ________ words.

10. Remember: • Use your knowledge of syllable patterns to decode longer words.
