Note: If you have handheld mirrors, you may use them for this exercise. If you do not, you may have students work with a partner. Tell them to watch their partner’s mouth when they make the vowel sounds to observe what happens. • Ask students to share something that they remember about vowel sounds. • Summarize the important information: • Vowel sounds are open-mouth sounds. • Vowel sounds can be stretched out when someone calls out a name or sings. • Every word must have a vowel sound. • Tell the class that during this lesson they will review consonant sounds. • Remind the class that most words contain consonant sounds but a few words do not. For example, the word I does not contain a consonant sound. • Remind the class that consonant sounds are made with parts of the mouth touching or momentarily closed. This slows or stops the flow of air leaving the mouth. • Have students watch their mouths (or their partner’s mouth) as they say the consonant sound /m/.
Unit 1 | Lesson 22 157 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation
• Point out that when they say this consonant sound, their mouths stay completely closed. Air does not flow freely from their mouths—it is released through their noses. • Have students watch their mouths (or their partner’s mouth) as they say the consonant sound /p/. • Point out that when they say this consonant sound, their mouths close momentarily and then open to release a puff of air. Air does not flow continuously from their mouths—it is stopped for a moment when their lips are closed and then it is released. • Have students watch their mouths as they say the consonant sound /th/. • Point out that when they say this consonant sound, their tongues are between their upper and lower teeth. Air does not flow freely from their mouths—it is slowed down as it moves around their tongues.
Some consonant sounds are said in isolation. They need to be pronounced with vowel sounds in order to be heard clearly. In fact, the word consonant means “sounded with,” indicating that a consonant sound needs to be sounded with a vowel sound.
• Point out that none of these consonant sounds are made with a wide open mouth, which is the way that vowel sounds are made. • Have the class listen as you sing “Happy Birthday” with only the consonant sounds: /h/. . . /p/. . . /b/. . . /th/. . . /d/. . . /t/. . . /y/, etc. • Point out that this song sounds like a bunch of clipped, almost inaudible sounds without the vowel sounds.
Vowel Discrimination Game If students need additional practice discriminating sounds, you may use the Pausing Point exercise “Distinguish Similar Sounds” and the activities in the Assessment and Remediation Guide for practice with vowels.
15 minutes
• Distribute the vowel cards students cut out from the previous lesson. • Tell students that you want them to show you the picture of /i/ when you say the /i/ sound, /e/ when you say the /e/ sound, /a/ when you say the /a/ sound, /u/ when you say the /u/ sound, and /o/ when you say the /o/ sound. • Practice this several times. • Next, tell students that you will be reading some three-sound words that contain only one vowel sound. The vowel sound will always be the middle sound, and it will always be /i/, /e/, /a/, /u/, or /o/. • Tell students you want them to show you the picture of /i/ when you say a word that contains the /i/ sound, /e/ when you say a word that contains the /e/ sound, etc. Note: If students have trouble hearing a word’s middle sound, say the word in a segmented fashion: /h/ /o/ /p/. Then repeat the word in its blended form: hop.

Grammar
10 minutes Identifying Nouns Note: In this grammar lesson you will continue to discuss nouns as parts of speech that name things. • Begin with a review: Say the phrase, “ball rolls,” and have students listen carefully and repeat it after you. • Ask students which word in the phrase names a thing. Remind them that a word that names a thing is a part of speech called a noun. • Tell students that today they are going to learn some more words that are nouns that name things. • Tell students to listen carefully to the following phrases and ask them to tell you the word that names a thing in the phrase. Note: The last two examples are plural nouns. 1.
car starts
3.
red books
2.
big toe
4.
fingers wiggle
• Remind students that a noun can be at the beginning of a phrase or at the end. • Tell them to listen carefully to the following phrases and ask them to tell you the word that names a thing and is a noun. 1.
telephone rings
2.
red bicycle
• Ask students whether the noun is at the beginning or at the end of the phrase. • Summarize by asking students what we call a part of speech that names a thing. (noun)

Small Group Reading: “Bud the Cat” Introducing the Story • Tell students that they will get to read another story today from Snap Shots. Ask students, “What has Beth taken snap shots of so far?” • Review the previous stories. Ask students, “Where did Beth travel to with her mom?” (U.K.) “Who is she visiting?” (Nat and Dot) Page 28

vet—a doctor for animals (short for veterinarian)
2.
cast—a thick wrapping that surrounds a body part that has a broken bone
Previewing Grammar • Tell students that they have now read sentences that end in a period and in an exclamation point. Write these two symbols on the board. • Write a question mark on the board. Ask students if anyone recognizes this type of ending. • Tell students that this is a question mark. It is used at the end of a sentence that is a question. Tell students that they will see a question mark in today’s story. Purpose for Reading • Tell students to read today’s story to learn about Bud the cat.
