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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

You may wish to assign the<br />

(Teacher Resource Book,<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 />
