Welcome back to our PBS classroom.

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

Now, for the last couple of weeks, I have been sharing some chapter books series with you guys.

Cause remember, you guys are becoming amazing readers and because summer's coming, this will be a great time to pick up some of those books and read because there's many books in a series.

So this week, we're going to go back and do a little oldies, but goodies cause these are older books that I read when I was in school.

So, today, I wanted to share the Pee Wee Scouts series by Judy Delton.

Now, if you are a boy scout or a girl scout, you might enjoy this book because this troop goes through lots of different adventures.

So if you want to read the Pee Wee Scouts series, you can check on Sora, if you have the Sora app.

You can check at the county library or you can also check at your school library.

Now remember series means there is more than one book about the same characters, right?

And again, you can look on the spine to see what number book this comes in the series.

And here, this is book 11 of this series, okay?

Or, remember, you can also look inside the jacket or on the back to quickly read a quick summary, if you're going to enjoy reading that book.

So, pick it up today and see if you enjoy this series, all right?

Okay, boys and girls.

Now, don't forget you can also write to me, here in our PBS classroom, and tell me what you're reading.

I will love to hear what you're reading or what you're learning.

So use the address that you see below, write to me, and I will send you one of these fun activity books that's perfect because summer is coming up and these will be great activity books to keep your mind active all summer, all right?

So, when you write, don't forget to send-- Oh, not send but put your home address or your return address so that I can send one of these fun activity books to you.

All right?

Okay, boys and girls, are you guys ready?

Let's get started.

That's right, we're going to make our brain stronger.

But since it's Monday, let's start with a review game called, that's right, Mystery Word.

We're going to review all the sounds that we have learned this year.

We've learned them all.

So let's see if you guys can guess my mystery word.

Now, don't forget, I'm gonna show you some spelling cards.

Your job is to blend them together.

Get a whiteboard or a piece of paper.

Write it down.

And we'll check to see if you can guess my mystery word.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Let's see what the first sound of my mystery word is.

Ready, first sound is the whale card.

The whale card says wah.

Good, wah.

Next sound is the insect card.

The insect card says ih.

Wah-ih, start blending it together, good.

Next sound is the sun card.

The sun card says, good job, I hear some of you saying it.

Sss.

Good.

Next sound is the piano card.

Piano card says pah.

Good.

And last sound is the shirt card.

And the shirt card says er.

Okay, put it together, it's a long word today, right?

Wah-ih-sss-pah-er.

What's my mystery word?

Good job boys and girls.

Whisper.

Awesome job, whisper.

Okay, well, let's check to see how whisper is.

Can you whisper and spell with me, ready?

W-H-I-S-P-E-R.

Whisper.

Did you get it?

Thumbs up, you got it.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Good job reviewing all the sounds that we have learned.

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

Remember, high frequency words are words that show up most frequently when we are reading, so it's important to know how to read and write the words automatically.

And we are at the end of second grade already, so these words are getting harder.

And remember, if a word is hard for you to read or spell, make sure that you're writing it down and that you're practicing this word daily, all right?

Okay, so all week we have 10 words and we're gonna focus on two everyday.

So today, let's see what our two words is, ready?

First word, I want you guys to help me read and write it, ready, or spell it, ready?

First word, scientist.

Good job, let's read it again.

Scientist.

Good, let's spell it.

S-C-I-E-N-T-I-S-T.

Scientist.

Good job.

The next word is wherever.

Good, let's read it again.

Wherever.

Good job, let's spell it.

W-H-E-R-E-V-E-R.

Wherever.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, now, I have two sentences.

I want you to help me read my two sentences and then we'll try to figure out which one of these words will go into my sentences so that they will make sense.

Don't forget to use your context clues to help figure out which word will go into the sentence so that it'll make sense.

Are you ready?

Okay, first sentence, let's read it.

My dog follows me (hums) I go.

Oh, you looking at those clues?

Yeah, good thinking.

Okay, let's do the second sentence.

Let's see if you guys are right, you ready?

I hope to be a (hums) when I grow up.

Okay, so my dog follows me, and I heard you guys, wherever I go.

Good job.

And I hope to be a scientist when I grow up.

Good job, boys and girls.

Let's quickly read all the words that we're gonna be learning this week.

Ready, let's start with the two that we learned today.

Wherever, scientist, everything, ahead, somehow, pretended, afternoon, anyone, trouble and throughout.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, now we are going to go and practice our phonics for the week, but before we get to our reading, remember, we need to be able to hear sound.

So let's start with our phonemic awareness, that's right.

So turn your listening ears up and get ready to listen for sound.

Today we're gonna be playing a game called Full Name Edition and it's a special game because it's Full Name Edition, syllable style.

So, we're gonna be adding a syllable to another syllable to create a new word.

So, are you guys ready?

Okay, I'm gonna use my squares and circles here to help us.

First syllable, well, actually, my first word is key.

Can you say it?

Key.

Now I'm gonna add the syllable tur to it.

What's my word?

Turkey, good job, those are syllables, two syllables.

Turkey is two syllables, how did you do?

Thumbs up, good.

Okay, let's keep going.

Here's another syllable, vest.

Say it, vest.

Good, I'm gonna add har.

What's my word?

Harvest, good job.

Harvest has two syllables, good job.

Okay, last one.

Ready?

Tune.

Oh, let's say tune.

Okay, add car to it.

What's my word?

Cartoon, good job.

Okay, good listening, boys and girls.

Now, if you were listening, you heard a sound that we've already learned.

You're right.

So, this week we're going to be practicing our R-controlled syllables.

And I'm gonna quickly move my pocket chart because I want you guys to see that in second grade right now, we have already learned all of our spelling patterns.

So right now, we are focused on learning how to read multi-syllabic words, which is just really long words.

And by doing this, this is gonna help our brain break up those long words into what we call manageable chunks so that we can read fluently.

So, if you look at our syllable types, we have learned closed and open syllable.

We know how to divide it with the silent e syllable.

We know how to keep the vowel teams together, to divide with the vowel teams.

And we also learned the consonant, plus LE or EL and AL syllable cause we keep those consonants with the ending together for a syllable.

And today, we're gonna finish off by learning the R-controlled syllable, okay.

So, we've already learned that spelling pattern.

So what does that mean when it's a R-controlled syllable?

All it means is the letter R follows a vowel and it changes the sound.

Looking for R-controlled spelling pattern, dividing words into syllables can help you read and write longer words.

So, let's look at all my R-controlled syllable sounds.

We have a star card that says R. We have a shirt card, they all say er, good job.

We have the corn card that says or, remember all the different spelling patterns.

We have the chair card that says air and remember, we also learned the ear card that says ear, you're right.

So listen to all those sounds that we've learned.

Ear, ere, ore, ur and ar.

Those are what we call R-controlled spelling patterns.

So, let's look at my words.

If I come across this word right here.

Notice I highlighted or I made it red so that you guys can see.

Here's my R-controlled spelling pattern.

Now, this rule just means we're going to keep it together and then we can divide the word into syllables so that we can now sound out the syllable part.

First syllable is m-ar, mar.

The second syllable is k-et, ket, we know that.

Put it together, what's my word?

Market, good.

Now, same thing.

I'm reading, I come across this word.

I see my air, I know what that says.

Air, you're right.

Keep it together with my consonant.

Divide my word into two syllables.

Oh, what is it now, repair.

What's my word?

Repair.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, let's go and practice writing some words with R-controlled syllables.

So, just like reading, when you are writing when you come to a word, you're gonna divide the word into a syllable and you'll write each syllable part before writing the whole word.

That's how knowing how to divide words into syllables will help you.

So, let's say I was writing and I wanted to write the word perfect.

Prefect, okay.

Per-fect, two syllables.

Per-fect, okay, break it up, what's the first syllable?

Per.

Oh, I know that, er.

So, here's my shirt card, pah, er.

Now, next syllable, fect.

Fect, oh I know that, that's just f-ect.

I can sound it out.

How do I spell perfect?

P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

Perfect, you see how that works?

Awesome.

Okay, one last word, ready?

Now, what if I want to write the word summer cause summer's coming.

Summer, break it up into syllables again.

Sum-mer, oh, two syllables.

First syllable, sum.

We know how to spell that.

Sum.

Now, your next syllable, mer.

Mm, er, there's that er.

Let's look up at our shirt card, you're right and we spell that with a E-R.

So, put it together, what's my word?

Summer.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

So, you see how knowing to divide words into syllables will help you read and write?

Don't forget to come back tomorrow so that we can continue practicing this skill.

And tonight, I want you guys to practice by writing a sentence with the word perfect or summer, okay.

Share it with your family or write it in a letter and send it to me in an email, all right?

Boys and girls, you guys are doing such a great job.

Don't forget, have a great day learning with your teacher.

Pick up a good book and read and I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
