Lesson Plan

  • Spelling Words Correctly Using Prefixes This strategy will focus on the prefix "re-" to help predict the meaning of words. The same strategy can be used to introduce other common prefixes such as "dis-", "in-" and "im-".

Student Center Activities

  • Fluency: Quick Words In this activity, students will quickly read teacher-selected target words in a timed activity.
  • Fluency: Read Speed In this activity, students will quickly read multisyllabic high-frequency words on a practice sheet in a timed activity.
  • Fluency: Give Me Five In this activity, students will take turns reading multisyllabic high-frequency word cards in a timed activity.
  • Fluency: Quick Sort In this activity, students will sort and read multisyllabic words with shared rimes in a timed activity.
  • Fluency: Word Part Rush In this activity, students will quickly read word parts (syllables, affixes, and roots) on a practice sheet in a timed activity.
  • Fluency: Root Rap In this activity, students will quickly identify roots in a timed activity. As an extension, students will read multisyllabic words containing common roots.
  • Advanced Phonics: Word Way In this activity, students will decode unfamiliar words by analyzing their parts.
  • Advanced Phonics: If the Clue Fits In this activity, students will identify words based on advanced phonics-related clues (i.e., affixes, roots, base words, syllable types, and vowel patterns).
  • Advanced Phonics: Root Hoot In this activity, students will identify roots in multisyllabic words and match them to words that have the same root while playing a card game.
  • Advanced Phonics: Embellished Words In this activity, students will combine base words and affixes to make new words while playing a board game.
  • Advanced Phonics: Double Time In this activity, students will write corresponding spelling patterns for long vowels in multisyllabic words. As an extension activity, students will write the correct vowel for the schwa sound.
  • Advanced Phonics: Sound Choice In this activity, students will decode and spell words containing vowel diphthongs while playing a board game.
  • Fluency: Affix Wiz In this activity, students will quickly read affixes on a practice sheet in a timed activity. As an extension, students will read multisyllabic words containing common affixes.
  • Advanced Phonics: Affix Fit In this activity, students will combine base words and affixes to make new words.
  • Advanced Phonics: Four Word In this activity, students will group multisyllabic words containing the same base word.
  • Advanced Phonics: Affix Sort In this activity, students will sort words based on their affixes.
  • Advanced Phonics: Inflection Reflection In this activity, students will make new words by combining words with inflections.
  • Advanced Phonics: Compound Construction In this activity, students will produce compound words that begin with a specific letter. In an extension activity, students will read and segment multisyllabic compound words into two words.
  • Advanced Phonics: Syllable Swap In this activity, students will match syllable cards to create words.
  • Advanced Phonics: Syllable Sort In this activity, students will sort words by syllable types.
  • Advanced Phonics: Syllable Score In this activity, students will segment words into syllables and record the number of syllables.
  • Advanced Phonics: Syllable Game In this activity, students will count syllables in words while playing a game.
  • Advanced Phonics: Star Search In this activity, students will decode and spell words with r-controlled vowel patterns.
  • Phonics: Syllable Trivia In this game, students will read words and identify syllable patterns in two and three-syllable words (including open and closed syllables, common prefixes and suffixes, consonant-le, and VCE syllable patterns).
  • Phonics: Six-Way Syllable Sort of Syllable Patterns In this literacy activity, students work in pairs to read one and two-syllable words and sort them by syllable type (open, closed, vowel-consonant-e, vowel pair, consonant-le, and r-controlled).
  • Phonics: Map and Swoop Syllable Patterns In this literacy activity, students map graphemes to phonemes, segment words into syllables, and mark syllables to practice decoding. Worksheets are provided for practicing a variety of different syllable patterns (closed, open, VCE, r-controlled, vowel pair, final stable, and combined).
