To make new words, change the beginning sound.
Remember the Concept
We will make new words.
Skill Development & Guided Practice
Make a new word.
-ick
k/ick
l/ick
s/ick
w/ick
Students are practising making a new word by changing beginning sounds.
Say the word (kick). Teacher and students alternate five times.
Teacher separates the sounds by onset and rime: k/ick. Teacher and students alternate five times.
Teacher will say, “Now, we will change the /k/ in kick to /l/. Now say l/ick (onset/rime).” Teacher and students alternate five times.
Say the new word l/ick=lick.
Continue to change sounds to make new words such as /l/ in lick to /s/ in make new word sick and /s/ in sick to /w/ to make the new word wick.
Effective Feedback: If students answer incorrectly, or do not have a response, de-escalate by repeating the beginning sound and by segmenting by onsets and rimes.
