Objectives
Spelling and Phonics
Students will
drop and add letters in given words
to write spelling words.
write spelling words using beginning
and ending sounds for clues.
use the Spelling Dictionary to
match spelling words with their
meanings.
Developing Oral
Language Skills
Ask the students to fi nd and say the
spelling words that rhyme with eat. (seat,
neat) Then ask them to fi nd and say the
word that rhymes with read. (need) Ask
them to think of words that rhyme with
each of the following spelling words and
say them aloud: sea, seen, seem, week, and
beef. (Possible responses: tea, flea,
queen, keen, cream, seek, peek, leaf)
Encourage the students to use these words
to create tongue twisters, such as “The
queen and the fl ea went to sea to drink
tea.” The children should say the tongue
twisters as quickly as possible.
Differentiated Instruction
Providing More Help
Draw a picture of an open book on the
board. Write eat, sea, seat, neat, and
read on one page and need, seen, seem,
week, and beef on the other. Have the
students read each word, tell how the
long e sound is spelled in each, and
trace over the vowels with chalk of
different colors.
