Welcome to First Grade Phonics with Ms. Katelynn! In this three times a week class learners will build upon their Kindergarten phonics knowledge and become confident beginning readers. Each week we will work on phonemic awareness or the ability to think about and work with individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words by blending sounds into words and segmenting words into sounds. We will do visual and auditory drills to ensure that each learner can match graphemes (a letter or group of letters used to represent a sound) with their phonemes and vice versa. Learners will practice reading words in isolation as well as in sentences and short stories, practice writing and spelling words that match our phonics skill for the day, and learn irregular words, also known as high frequency words, each week through orthographic mapping. This means that learners will be pointed to the irregular part(s) of the word and discuss the unexpected grapheme-phoneme correspondences. This will ensure mastery of irregular words. A typical week will look as follows: Day one: Phonemic awareness Visual and auditory drill Blend drill New Concept and Word Work Irregular Words Connected Text Day two: Phonemic awareness Visual and auditory drill Blend drill New Concept and Word Work Irregular Words Connected Text Day Three: Review of the week’s concepts Additional word work Check in assessment Our weekly concepts will be as follows: Week One: Week of August 27th: Short A and Short I Week Two: Week of September 3rd : Short O and Short U Week Three: Week of September 10th : Short E and All short Vowels practice Week Four: Week of September 17th : FLSZ Rule and all,oll,ull Week Five: Week of October 1st: Consonant Digraph ck and Consonant Digraph sh Week Six: Week of October 8th : Consonant Digraph th (voiced & unvoiced) and Consonant Digraph ch Week Seven: Week of October 15th : Consonant Digraph wh and ph and Grapheme ng Week Eight: Week of October 22nd : Grapheme nk and all digraphs Week Nine: Week of October 29th: a_e and i_e Week Ten: Week of November 5th: o_e and VCe Review 1, e_e Week Eleven: Week of November 12th: u_e and VCe Review 2 Week Twelve: Week of November 19th: -ce and -ge Week Thirteen: Week of November 26th: VCe Review 3 and VCe exceptions Week Fourteen: Week of December 3rd: -es and -ed Week Fifteen: Week of December 10th:-ing and closed & open syllables Week Sixteen: Week of December 17th: closed/closed and open/closed *Topics will continue to be added*
