Welcome back to second grade PBS Classroom.

My name is Mrs. Vang and I'm so excited to have you join us so that you can become amazing readers and writers.

And I know you guys are becoming amazing readers.

Now, remember you have to use all the skills that we've learned all year, and you have to practice those skills by reading to become amazing readers.

So I wanted to share more chapter book series for you guys for those of you that are ready for chapter books.

This is a hilarious chapter book series called the Roscoe Riley Rules Series.

And it's super hilarious.

I was just quickly reading and looking at some of these pictures.

Oh my goodness, Roscoe Riley is so funny because guess what?

He's always accidentally breaking all the rules.

So this one is rule number one, never glue your friends to chairs.

Hmm, what could happen?

If you wanna read it, make sure that you are checking out this book on Sora if you have the Sora app or at your county library or at your school library.

And if you look on the back, guess what?

There are two more books that shows the books in this series.

So the second one is Never Swipe a Bully's Bear and book number three is Don't Swap Your Sweater for a Dog.

So this is a series that you wanna read.

Try to go and pick it up to continue reading to make your brain super strong.

Okay boys and girls.

Now, if you're reading a different book that you want me to share with all the other second graders out there, make sure you're writing to me here in a PBS classroom.

You can use the address that you see below or you can email me and I will find those books and share with all the other second graders.

All right?

And if you put your home address or your return address, I will send you one of these fun activity books.

And these are great because summer's coming and these are a good way to keep our brain super strong and smart in the summer.

All right?

So I will be patiently waiting for your letters to come so I can go in and get those books to show all the other second graders out there.

All right?

Okay, now, speaking of Sora, if you're using the Sora in Fresno Unified let's see if your school's showing up on our top countdown.

Are you ready?

Okay, today we're gonna reveal the top school that came in number three.

Let's say if it's your school, ready?

Okay.

Coming in number three is Jackson, Jackson Elementary.

Good job, Jackson Elementary.

Awesome job.

You guys are doing a great job checking out those books and reading.

And I think this is the first time that you'd been in our countdown and you guys came in number three.

Awesome job reading books, boys and girls.

Now don't forget, you have to check out those books and you have to read them to get your school and our top count down.

So make sure you're checking out those books on the Sora app if you have the Sora app in Fresno Unified, all right?

Okay, boys and girls, let's get into our lessons so that we can become super, that's right, super smart because we're making our brains super strong.

So we'll start off with?

That's right, training our year.

So get those listening ears, turn them up nice and loud because remember we need to hear sound in order to read and write.

All right?

Okay, today we're gonna be playing a fun game called phoneme reversal.

This is where we're gonna blend some sounds and then you're gonna have to keep those sounds in your mind or in your brain because we're gonna blend them backwards and guess what?

It's gonna be a new word.

So let's see how you guys do.

Are you guys ready?

Okay, turn the listening ears up.

Okay, get your arms out, help me blend these sounds, ready?

M-ai-n. What's the word?

Main.

Okay, now you guys remember the same sound.

So we're gonna go.

We're gonna reverse back it up.

We're gonna put our car in reverse and go back, ready?

N-a-me That was a tricky one.

What's my new word?

N-a-me.

Name.

Good job.

Main, name.

Good.

Okay, you guys ready for the second set of sounds?

Okay, ready?

P-ea-ch.

You got it, what is it?

Peach.

Okay, now reverse it.

Put the car on reverse, ready?

Ch-ea-p. What is it?

Cheap, good.

We go peach, cheap.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay, last set of sounds, ready?

K-ee-p. What is it?

Keep, you got it.

Okay, put that car in reverse.

Let's back it up, ready?

P-ea-k. What is it?

Peak, good job.

We go keep and peak.

Good job listening to those phonemes.

Awesome job.

Okay.

Now, remember, we have already learned all of our spelling patterns for the year already.

So now we're just practicing skills in how to become fluent readers.

And by practicing how to read those multi-syllabic word or what we call those words with more than one syllables.

And we can do that by knowing some syllable rules.

This week, we are focused on the vowel team syllable.

And that rule just means if we see a vowel team, look at all my vowel team sounds that we have learned, we're gonna keep them together.

We can use the other syllable rules to help us divide the word into a syllable.

Because remember when we can divide words into smaller chunks, it's more manageable for us to read.

So let's practice, ready?

So let's look at my first word.

So if I'm reading and I come across this first word, I see my brain sees the oa as evolved team, oo.

So, and guess what I see, I see the word soap.

And I know that if I ass a y to it, that's just another what we call a suffix, remember?

The y can be a suffix.

So if I come across, I know the y at the end says e. So what's my word?

Soapy.

What is it?

Soapy.

Put it together.

And that's how we will read a word with more than one syllable.

Wasn't that hard, was it?

Let's continue.

Okay, if I see this word, my brain automatically goes to the two Os, that's my vowel team.

I'm gonna keep it together and ish is another type of suffix.

I'm gonna make that a syllable itself.

This is fool-ish.

What's my word?

Foolish.

That's how we read words with more than one syllable.

Okay, let's quickly continue.

Here's my ai.

Oh, I know this word.

This word says main.

So divide it re-main, re as a prefix.

You see the prefixes and suffixes?

They make their own syllable.

Re-main, awesome job.

Let's look at this, week-end, weekend.

Did you see that?

Awesome job and look at this one.

Awesome job dividing it, sea-son, season.

Good job reading.

Now, today I have a story full of words with more than one syllable with the vowel teams.

Let's see if we can read it together, ready?

This is a story called Neal's Wheels.

Look at all those vowel teams, okay?

Read it with me, boys and girls.

Neal has a wheel shop.

The name of the shop is Neal's Wheels.

Neal can fix any wheel problem.

He can patch holes in wheels.

He can pump air into them.

Neal takes delight and fixing wheels.

Indeed, lots of people bring their wheels to Neal.

They are certain that he can fix any wheel.

But Neal has too many wheels to fix.

He needs to find a helper.

He cannot endure much work by himself.

He is afraid to try.

Neal will write an ad.

It will explain the job.

He will look for a helper who can fix wheels fast.

Oh, you see how that didn't sound right, so I had to go back and reread, which is okay.

He wants someone who will enjoy the work.

Neal is certain he will find a helper soon.

How did you do boys and girls?

Awesome, did you use all those skills that we were practicing?

Looking for those vowel teams and breaking them up into syllables to read these hard, oh, not hard, but they're just words with multi or more than one syllable, multi-syllabic words, right?

With our vowel team, you're right.

So like in the word indeed, you see that?

We or in my brain, I went in-deed and that's how I knew the word indeed.

Same thing for certain.

When I saw it, I went, oh, here is cer-tain, and then I read it as certain.

Is that what you did?

Awesome, right?

Lots of them in here.

And that's why it's great to practice reading because we had just learned this syllable pattern or the vowel team syllable.

Here's another one, de-light.

I broke it apart and that's how I read.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay, now let's continue with our high-frequency words because just like we need to practice reading with those syllable rules, if you know your high-frequency words automatically, then you can just read and write them.

So all week we had 10 words.

Everyday we're gonna focus on two.

Let me strain this, okay.

Let's look at the two words for today, ready?

Rough.

Help me read it again, rough.

Spell it with me.

R-O-U-G-H, rough.

Good job.

Next word, stranger.

Read it again, stranger.

Spell it with me.

S-T-R-A-N-G-E-R, stranger.

Okay, you guys know what to do next.

So we're gonna read the two sentences.

Help me try to figure out which one of these words would go into the sentence so that it'll make sense.

Use those context clues to help you.

Are you ready?

Read the first sentence with me.

The skin of the orange feels, ooh, I heard you guys, good.

Let's do the second sentence.

The hmm does not know anyone in town.

Okay, all those contexts clues.

The skin of the orange feels, it feels rough.

It does good job.

And the stranger does not know anyone in town.

Good job reading.

Don't forget, if you are not sure if one of these words and you can't read and write them automatically, make sure you're writing them down on an index card just like how I did and keep them and every night practice so that you can read and write them with automaticity.

All right?

Okay, let's end it with our structural analysis today.

Remember, we've been learning comparative endings with the ER and the EST.

And when we add an ER to a word, it just means we're comparing two nouns, When we add an EST, we are comparing more than two nouns.

But here are some tricky rules.

So if a word ends with the y, we need to change it to an i before we can add the ER and the EST.

Chilly becomes chillier and chilliest with a change, right?

If a word ends with the vowel and a constant, we need to double that constant.

Here's the word flat.

Flat becomes flatter with a double T. Adding the EST, flattest with that double T, all right?

And then last rule.

Remember, these are all reviews, we've learned this already.

So as you're writing, make sure you guys are writing these correctly.

If I'm writing the word brave, brave ends with an E. What do I need to do?

Drop that E before we add ER, brave because braver.

If I wanna add the EST, it becomes bravest.

And I drop that E before I add the EST.

So, don't forget those rules as you're reading and writing.

Boys and girls, we have learned so much already, and we have more to learn.

So don't forget to come back tomorrow because I have another story for us to practice reading with following our vowel teams syllable.

All right?

Have a great day learning with your teacher.

Have a great day learning, read a good book and tell me all about it.

All right?

I'll see you tomorrow, bye-bye.
