Review of Basic Code Spellings and Spelling Alternatives<br />
• You may wish to tab the following page in the Vowel Code Flip Book before<br />
beginning this lesson:<br />
Vowel Code Flip Book<br />
1. ‘ou’ > /ou/ (shout) Vowel Code Flip Book on page 14<br />
2. ‘ow’ > /ou/ (now) Vowel Code Flip Book on page 14<br />
• Tell students the sound they will learn is /ou/.<br />
• Have students say the sound /ou/.<br />
• Ask students if they can think of any words containing the /ou/ sound. As<br />
students offer words, write the words on the board, sorting the words into<br />
columns according to the spelling used for /ou/ and underlining the letters<br />
that stand for the /ou/ sound in each word. For example, if a student says<br />
cow, list the word under the heading ‘ow’ and underline the ‘ow’. If a student<br />
says mouth, list the word under the heading ‘ou’ and underline the ‘ou’. If a<br />
student says powerhouse, list the word twice, once under the heading ‘ow’,<br />
with the ‘ow’ underlined, and once under the heading ‘ou’, with the ‘ou’<br />
underlined.<br />
• Remind students that in Grade 1 they learned a spelling for this sound, ‘ou’.<br />
Use the Vowel Code Flip Book to review the ‘ou’ spelling.<br />
See Letter-Sound<br />
Correspondences in the<br />
Pausing Point for students<br />
needing additional help with<br />
/ou/.<br />
Additional practice may be<br />
found in the <strong>Unit</strong> 2 section<br />
of the Assessment and<br />
Remediation <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
• Point out the power bar for the ‘ou’ spelling and explain that there are other<br />
spellings for /ou/.<br />
• Students will probably come up with examples of both the ‘ou’ and ‘ow’<br />
spelling patterns listed above, but if the spelling ‘ow’ does not end up on the<br />
chart spontaneously, introduce it. You can do this by writing a familiar Tricky<br />
Word like down or how on the board, asking students to read the word, and<br />
then asking them, “Which letters stand for the /ou/ sound in this word?”<br />
• To provide additional practice, write the following words on the board one at<br />
a time.<br />

chunking, please see<br />

3. flow | ers<br />

5. frown | ing<br />
