Happy Tuesday.

Oh, you guys are looking tired, but I'm glad you guys are up and joining me.

Remember, my name is Mrs. Vang, and I'm so excited to have you guys join me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.

Now remember, we're getting ready for third grade using all the things that we've learned, all of our skills that we've learned this year so far so that we can get into third grade.

And now we're going from before we were learning to read and now we're gonna be reading to learn.

So I have another book to share with you guys especially my readers, my good readers, 'cause you guys are all amazing readers that are getting ready for those chapter books.

Now this is another series 'cause I love series.

It's another series called the Owl Diaries series and it's written by Rebecca Elliot.

And I will tell you, this is one of my daughter's favorite series to read when she was in second grade.

So if you wanna read about Eva and her friends, pick one of these book up and read about Ava and her friends.

And actually I was looking through her book and like how many books so far was in this series, 14 books.

Isn't that amazing?

So, and that's why I like to recommend series because if you like the characters and apply, you'll... Those characters and settings will be familiar.

And then we just continue reading to see what happens to them.

So if you wanna read about Ava and her friends and the owl diaries, you can see if, you can check it out on store if you're have the store app at your county library or at your school library.

And tell me what you think about Ava in the owl diary, all right?

Now, couple ways to tell me boys and girls if you've been reading and to tell me what you've been learning.

You can write to me and here at the studio, you see that address below.

Write to me here.

Tell me what you're reading.

Tell me what you're learning.

And I will say new one of these fun activity books.

So if you don't have one already, that's how you can get one.

Don't forget to put your return address or your home address so that I can send one of these out to you, all right?

So, hopefully I get some letters next week and I can start sending these out to you guys, all right?

Okay boys and girls, are you guys ready?

Let's get ready to learn.

First thing we're gonna do is?

That's right.

We're gonna start with our listening skills.

So turn up that listening ears.

We're gonna be playing a phonemic or phoneme segmentation.

And that's where I'm gonna say a word.

Your job is to separate them into phoneme, sounds.

Are you guys ready?

You guys have done this before.

You guys are really good at this.

Ready?

Okay.

I'm gonna use my red dots here to help us.

So I'm gonna say a word, your job, segment them into phonemes.

First word is snake.

Snake.

Okay.

Tell me what you hear.

Ready?

Snake.

Good, I hear you.

Snake.

Good job.

How many sounds in snake?

Four.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay.

Next word.

Are you ready?

Close.

Ready?

Close.

Oh, good.

Let's check it.

C l o se.

Close.

How many?

Four sounds.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay.

Last word.

Ready?

Street.

Say it.

Street.

Okay.

How many sounds?

Let's check it.

Ready?

S t r eet.

Oh, almost didn't get it in.

Street.

How many sound was that?

One, two, three, four, five, five sounds.

How did you do?

Two thumbs up.

Good job boys and girls.

I knew you could do it.

Okay.

So, now that we have our listening ears turned on and ready, let's go and practice what we're gonna be learning the week.

Now remember, we've already learned all the spelling patterns that we need to learn in second grade.

So now we're just really gonna be focusing on how to read fluently.

And to do that, I'm gonna be practicing or taking you through how to divide words into syllables.

Because there are six syllable types.

And once you recognize these syllable types or what I call spelling patterns, then you can divide words into syllables to help you read those multi-syllabic words.

Remember multi-syllabic just means words with more than one syllables.

Because our brain boys and girls does this naturally for us.

So good readers do this, but I'm gonna go slower to show you what our brain needs to do.

'Cause the more we practice the better we'll get at reading.

So this week, we are focusing on what we call the silent e syllable.

And that just means that we're looking for the pattern, consonant, vowel, consonant, silent e we've learned that way in the beginning of the school year.

Remember, my a consonant silent e, my e consonant silent e, my i is consonant silent e, my o consonant silent e, and my u consonant silent e. When there's that blank, we call that a consonant.

We learned that already.

This is what we just call the bossy e. You're right.

It's either the bossy e or the magic e or the silent e. They have lots of names, right?

It's job is to make the vowel say its own name and changes into a long vowel.

You guys know that, but now that we're reading we're gonna be looking for this consonant, vowel, consonant, silent e pattern because as we're reading we keep that spelling pattern together.

So let's practice, ready?

Here, I have some letters.

So if I was reading this in a book my brain is automatically going to find that pattern for me.

And I'm gonna say, "Oh, there it is."

Oh, there it goes.

Let's just get another one, right here.

You see it?

R I V E is my consonant vowel, consonant, silent e pattern.

R ive, good, rive.

Now, I know that this syllable part will stay together so that I know this is where I'm going to divide it.

So now I have two syllables and I know ar says ar, good.

Let's sound it out together.

Arrive.

What's my word?

Arrive.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay, let's look at my second word.

Look how long that word is, but here's what my brain is doing.

What do we need to look for?

Let's look for that consonant, vowel, consonant silent e pattern.

Let's see it.

Do you see it?

There it is.

There's my P E D E pattern, right?

Right here.

So I know this pattern stays together, okay.

That must mean, this is where I'm gonna divide my words.

So now I have two syllables, ready?

Stam pede, stampede.

What was that long word?

Stampede.

Did you see that?

Awesome job boys and girls.

Now don't get tricked though.

If you didn't see that consonant, vowel, consonant e pattern you might have thought that's a stamp.

It does, doesn't it?

But now that we know the consonant, vowel, constant silent e pattern, we know to keep it together.

How did you guys do?

Good.

Let's continue practicing reading with the consonant, vowel, consonant silent e pattern.

Okay, you guys ready?

So let's look at this word.

Ready?

So I see this as I'm reading.

Again, look for the consonant, vowel, consonant silent e. So here's my e. And if you need to, sometimes, oops, I like to go backwards.

This is, b is a c not a vowel.

I is a vowel.

And here's my consonant, vowel, consonant silent e pattern.

Now, here's the tricky part.

You see the cr, that's a consonant of blend.

So we try to keep that together.

So if I was to divide it, I would divide it right here.

D, oh, sorry.

It's a three letter blend.

Notice what I did.

I wrote d and I knew that e said e and that was one of the patterns that we learned last week.

That e was open vowel.

So it was a long bus so I know it was an open vowel so guess what?

Mrs. Vang, you don't divide between the S and the C, note we divide right here.

De scribe.

Did you see how that happened?

I was using all of those rules to help me divide that word so that I can read it Describe.

That was a tricky one, wasn't it?

Okay, let's just try one more.

Okay.

Here's another word.

Here's my vowel, consonant, silent e. But guess, here's my blend.

You got to look for those blends because we got to keep them together.

Sometimes we keep them together.

And if I look, I actually do see a small word.

What's that word?

In.

So I know that's one syllable by itself.

Include.

What's my word?

Include.

How did you do?

Awesome.

How about this?

Or can you do it without me writing the vowel, consonant, vowel pattern on?

Let's see.

Relate.

Good job.

Relate.

How about this one?

Note book, notebook.

Good job.

And here's my stampede.

You got it.

Good job boys and girls.

You guys are doing such a good job reading those words.

Let's quickly just read one sentence together and then we'll go into our high-frequency words.

Ready?

It is useful to recite the rules.

Did you see that?

Good job.

That was that recite looking for those pattern.

Awesome job.

And I'm looking at useful, remember ful is my suffix, which we're gonna be learning in just a couple of minutes.

Good job.

Okay.

Now let's go and practice our high frequency words.

Don't forget every week we have 10 words that we are learning.

Every day we're gonna focus on two.

So help me read and write the two that we're gonna be learning today.

Ready?

For short, suppose.

Help me read it.

Suppose.

Help me spell it.

S U P P O S E S. Suppose.

Good job.

Next word, four.

Read it again.

Four.

Spell it.

F O U R, four.

Now remember, this is the number four, okay?

Now, I have two sentences.

You guys know how to do this.

Help me read the two sentences.

Help me try to figure out which word would go into the sentence so that it will makes sense.

Ready?

I mmh I can help you clean up.

You using those context clues.

Good.

There are mmh pictures on the wall.

Did you guys figure it out?

Good job.

I heard you.

You said there are four pictures on the wall.

So that must mean suppose goes in the second sentence.

I mean the first sentence.

I suppose I can help you clean up.

There are four pictures on the wall.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay.

Now let's move down and our prefixes and suffixes quickly.

Now remember, we've already learned the skills many times already.

Let's see if you guys can remind me.

Prefixes happens in the?

Good.

Or we add them in the beginning of a word to change the meaning.

Like re, re means again.

Dis means not or opposite and un means not.

And suffixes, we add to the?

Good job, at the end of a word to change its meaning.

Like ful.

Remember when you wrote that or read that word last?

Yesterday.

Ful, hopeful, and on our sentence ful means full of, and less means without.

So all week, we're gonna be focusing on our prefixes and suffixes to help us read and know the meaning of words in a sentence.

So, lots of work that we did today, boys and girls.

So as you're reading, remember to apply all those skills that we have learned to your reading so that you can become fluent readers.

So when you become a fluent reader remember, that's when we are reading and everything that's happening in our brain it's happening really fast so that we can read and not stop and sound them out 'cause you guys have learned so much.

And I know you guys are getting ready to be awesome third graders.

So, don't forget to come back tomorrow to join me so that we can practice looking for that consonant, vowel, consonant, silent e pattern, all right?

Have a great day of learning.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
