01

What Students Need to Do

Students break two-syllable words into parts to read and spell them. They use vowel sounds and spelling patterns, including vowel teams, silent letters, prefixes, and suffixes. They also read and spell common words such as said.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

They split robot, rabbit, and pancake into syllables, then read and spell each word. They read and spell coin, bird, knee, redo, and said. They read bread with a short e sound and spell jumping.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some read robot with two short vowels instead of a long o in the first syllable. Others expect ea in bread to sound like the ea in bead, or pronounce the k in knee. When spelling, they may write hopeing for hoping or leave the r out of bird.

04

How to Assess It

Ask students to read robot, bread, and knee aloud. Then dictate pancake, coin, bird, redo, and said for them to spell.

1. 01

   Give pairs cards marked ro, bot, rab, bit, pan, and cake; have them build, read, and write robot, rabbit, and pancake.

2. 02

   Write bread and bead on the board, then ask students to explain how ea sounds in each word.

3. 03

   Give students six-square bingo boards with coin, cow, bird, knee, redo, and jumping in different positions; call their spelling patterns.

4. 04

   Hand out a grocery list with oatmeal, pancakes, and corn; students read each item and underline the vowel spelling.
