3. Look for Meaningful Word Parts:
As you say each word, ask yourself. Do I see any parts I know?
Chunk words with No recognizable parts
Model how to chunk the word money to read it
Model
I see a chunk at the beginning of the word: mon. I see a part at the end: ey. I say each chunk slowly: mon ey. I say the chunks fast to make a whole word: money. Is it a real word? Yes, I know the word money.

Do you see any of the words we just learned?

4. Word Work
Cap
You can read this word because you know when a word has a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, this vowel usually stands for its short sound. What is the vowel sound? What is the word? Today we will read words with a consonant-vowel-consonant silent e pattern. In these words, the vowel stands for its long sound.
This is an apron. What sound do you hear at the beginning of apron? Say it with me: /a/. This is the long a sound.

5. This is an easel. What sound do you hear at the beginning of easel
This is an easel. What sound do you hear at the beginning of easel? Say it with me: /e/. This is the long e sound.
This is an uniform. What sound do you hear at the beginning of uniform? Say it with me: /u/. This is the long u sound.
This is an ocean. What sound do you hear at the beginning of ocean? Say it with me: /o/. This is the long o sound.

6. Write the letter patterns: a_e e_e i_e o_e u_e
Now say each sound aloud, When you see a consonant-vowel-consonant-silent e pattern in a word, remember that the vowel usually stands for its long sound.

7. This is how I blend this word: /m/ /a//d/, made. Now you try: /m//a//d/. The letter a makes the long a sound. The letter e is silent.

17. Comprehension
Today you will read about a tribe of people who traded goods. When you read the selection, it’s important to keep track of the sequence , or order of events because it may help you understand how the tribe made a trade. Sometimes, but not always, clue words tell when things happened: first, next, then, last.
For example, if I read that first the tribe packed goods, I need to pay attention to the sequence to help me understand what the tribe packed goods. I need to pay attention to sequence to help me understand what the tribe did next.
As you read, “ Tribes and Trades”, look for words that help you track the sequence of events that took place in making a tribe.
(Possible graphic organizer: Add sequence words as you find them).
