Visual<br />

Write ee in red on an<br />

index card and ea in blue<br />

on another. Then write the spelling<br />

words on index cards, leaving<br />

out the ea or ee spelling in<br />

each. Have each student take a<br />

turn matching the correct spelling<br />

to an incomplete word. The<br />

students should then write the<br />

word.<br />

The long e sound may be diffi cult for some students to<br />

hear or pronounce because of regional speech differences<br />

or language backgrounds that do not include<br />

this sound or that spell it differently. In Spanish, for<br />

example, this sound is spelled by the letter i. If a student<br />

has diffi culty hearing or pronouncing a word with this<br />

sound, fi rst make sure that he or she knows the meaning<br />

of the word.<br />

Write each spelling word on the board. Say each word<br />

Learning Styles<br />

Auditory<br />

Do the visual activity,<br />

but have the student<br />

say a spelling word into a tape<br />

recorder, listen to the word, and<br />

match it with the incomplete<br />

word. The student should then<br />

spell aloud the entire word as he<br />

or she writes it on paper.<br />

Hands-On Practice<br />

All students will benefit from<br />

practicing with a Flip Folder.<br />

See page Z13.<br />

Language and Cultural Differences<br />

DI FFE R E NTIATE D<br />

Kinesthetic<br />

Cut out e, e, and a from<br />

oaktag or heavy paper.<br />

On construction paper, write<br />

incomplete spelling words that<br />

are large enough to accommodate<br />

two of the cut-out vowels.<br />

Let each student take a turn putting<br />

the appropriate letters in an<br />

incomplete word, tracing around<br />

each vowel with pencil, then<br />

coloring ee red and ea blue. The<br />

students should then write the<br />

completed word on paper.<br />

sound spelled with ea or ee. Have the students repeat<br />

each word. Ask the students to use the words in sentences<br />

or to tell something about the meanings of the words.<br />

Then give a defi nition and ask the students to name the<br />

spelling word that matches it. Have the students write the<br />

word. The students may check their spelling by looking<br />

at the board.<br />

Draw two boxes on the board. Say each spelling word.<br />

Have the students take turns writing the words in the<br />

boxes, ea words in one box and ee words in the other.<br />

Teaching the Strategy<br />

<strong>Spelling</strong> Mini-Lesson<br />

STEP 1: Write eat and seen on the board.<br />

Underline the digraph (ea or ee) in each<br />

word. Point out that in these words, ea<br />

and ee both spell the long e sound.<br />

STEP 2: Challenge students to find the<br />

word on the spelling list that, depending<br />

on how it is used, is pronounced with the<br />

long e sound or the short e sound.<br />

STEP 3: If students do not identify read,<br />

write these sentences on the board:<br />

Can he read the book?<br />

I read it last week.<br />

Have volunteers read the sentences aloud.<br />

Point out that even though the vowel<br />

sound changes, the spelling does not.<br />

<strong>Spelling</strong> and Technology<br />

Students will<br />

expand vocabulary with<br />

technology-related words.<br />

relate the spelling strategy<br />

to words outside the Basic<br />

<strong>Spelling</strong> list.<br />

learn the consequences of a<br />

computer freeze or crash.<br />

Teaching About…<br />

Computer Crashes<br />

Ask students if they know the meaning<br />

of the word crash. Ask volunteers to<br />

explain what happens when something<br />

crashes. Have them speculate about what<br />

happens when a computer crashes. If a<br />

student has experienced such a problem<br />

with his or her computer, ask the student<br />

to tell the class what happened.<br />

You may wish to use these sentences to<br />

introduce the words and their meanings.<br />

1. Modern computers do not crash as<br />

often as the older models.<br />

2. I hope the problem won’t cause the<br />

computer to delete the file.<br />

3. If you have a computer freeze, just<br />

turn it off and start over again.<br />

Take It Online<br />

Have students review any files on their<br />

hard drive and save a copy on a disk<br />

of any documents they want to protect<br />

against a computer crash.<br />

Note: The listed Web sites have been<br />

carefully researched for accuracy, content,<br />

and appropriateness. However, Web<br />

sites are subject to change. Internet use<br />

should always be carefully monitored.<br />

Recap<br />

You may wish to assign the<br />

Unit 14 Homework Master<br />

(Teacher Resource Book,<br />

Unit 14) as a fun way to<br />

recap the spelling words.<br />

Computer Crash!<br />

Sometimes, your computer doesn’t<br />

work. The screen might freeze. You<br />

can’t select anything. You can’t type<br />

anything. This is called a crash.<br />

Usually, you can delete, or get rid of,<br />

work that you don’t want. When you<br />

have a crash, the computer might delete<br />

work that you do want!<br />

Learn these words for what could<br />

happen to your work.<br />

crash delete freeze<br />

Write the word from the box that<br />

completes each sentence. Underline<br />

the word that spells long e with ee.<br />

1. Everything stops when computers<br />

_____.<br />

2. A crash can make your computer<br />

_____ your work.<br />

3. A computer _____ can be a big<br />

problem!<br />
