Alphabetics
 Letter
sounds
 Sounds of letter combinations
Morrison, 2.22.12
Phonics Teaching Sequence
 Letter
identification
 Letter sounds
 2 letter blending and segmenting (cv or
vc)
 cvc blending and segmenting
 ccvc, cvcc, cvcv blending and
segmenting
Morrison, 2.22.12
Try this…
 Using
the magnetic letter boards, teach
the phonics sequence to your neighbor
 Before you begin, select just a few letters
to focus on
 Make sure to include an e and one other
vowel, so you can make cvce words
Morrison, 2.22.12
Sight and High Frequency
Words
 Read
as whole words, not decoded
 Fluency in reading sight and high
frequency words contributes to reading
fluency which, in turn, contributes to
reading comprehension
Morrison, 2.22.12
Sight Words v. High Frequency
Words
Sight Words
 Difficult
to decode
using rules of
English, don’t “play
by the rules”
 Can also be high
frequency
High Frequency Words
 Decodable
 Are
used most
frequently in a
given literature set
(can have high
frequency words of
5th grade Electricity
unit)
Morrison, 2.22.12
Onset-Rime
 Word
families
 Onset is the consonant before the first
vowel
 Rime is everything after the first vowel
 Example:

Str-ay, fr-ay, pl-ay
Morrison, 2.22.12
Morphology



Morpheme: the smallest unit of a word that
has meaning
Morphology: the study of how languages
combine morphemes
Syllables are also chunks of words, but



They are speech sounds, not written
Comprised by a vowel and one or more
consonants
May, but do not necessarily, have meaning
when standing alone
Morrison, 2.22.12

Orthography
 Describes
the graphemes, diacritics, and
punctuation used in a language and rules
for writing these symbols
 More commonly defined as “common
spelling patterns”, but actually includes
more

Consonants…letter-sound correspondences that include
single consonants, such as l- /l/ and p - /p/ that occur at
the beginning and end of words like lap and pal
Consonant digraphs…sounds represented by letter
combinations at the beginning of words like ship, chip, thin
and whip, and at the end of click and sing
Consonant blends…the initial sound combinations at the
beginning of words like stop, tree, black, flag, and at the
end of send and left
Silent letters…letters that have no corresponding sound in
words such as the k in knead the b in lamb
Short vowels…vowel sounds that occur in words like cat /a/
hen /e/ pig /i/ dog /o/ and bug /u/
Long vowels…vowel sounds that occur in words like ate
/ā/ eat /ē / ice /ī/ oat /ō/ and use /ū/

Other vowels…medial vowels such as the /ä/ in father; rcontrolled vowels in which the sound of the vowel is
influenced by the letter r that follows it, as in car and bird, in
which the sound is neither long or short; schwa /ǝ/, which is
the vowel sound that occurs in unaccented syllables such
as the initial vowel in about and the final vowel in teacher
Vowel digraphs…two vowel letters that make a single
vowel sound such as the /ŏ/ in boat or the /ŏŏ/ in good
Vowel diphthongs…two vowel letters that make a blended
or glided sound such as the oi in boil and the ou in shout
Syllables…combinations of phonemes that make up larger
sound units in words in which consonants cluster around
vowels
