During this lesson, I will introduce students to the concept of a silent e syllable. In this class students will learn the components of a silent e syllable, how to identify one, and how to read one. The class will begin with a virtual greetings and phonics warm up to review key sounds. Students will review the concepts of vowels, consonants, and syllables. I will teach the students what a silent e syllable is, and we will work together to identify them in isolation and in short sentences or stories. Finally, the students will practice strategies for coding and reading words with silent e syllables. I try to use as many multi-sensory activities as possible, even when virtual. I encourage class participation and engagement. This class will allow students ample time to interact with me and the other students to show what they learned in the class. Students should know the alphabet and most sounds each letter make prior to this class. Students should be able to read words with closed syllables (cat, pig, bed, mug, hen, etc). Students do not need to know what an open syllable is to participate in this class.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify vowels within a word.
Students will be able to identify consonants within a word.
Students will be able to identify silent e syllables.
Students will be able to sound out closed silent e words.
