• Leave the examples on the board for students to refer to while completing their worksheets.
New Deck Cards
“We are adding these final, stable syllables and their keywords to our deck today. Let’s review them.”
• Show students Letter Cards 75–79. Ask them to name each final, stable syllable.
• Show students Picture Cards 99–104. Ask them to give you the keyword and sound for each card.
• Final, stable syllables occur rather frequently but are still considered to be irregular. Although we usually include only the “regular” responses in the spelling deck, we have found that many teachers like to review final, stable syllables occasionally so students stay familiar with their spellings.
Spelling Practice
• Have students turn to the back of their notebook paper. Remind them to refer to the rule wall cards if they need to.
“Let’s practice spelling some words that contain final, stable syllables. I’ll say the word as we say it normally when we talk. I will wait just a moment while you try to spell it on your own. Then I will say it slowly— syllable by syllable. Then we’ll unblend it together to see if you were correct. If you were correct, put a check next to the word.”
• Give as many words as time allows from the Lesson 25 Spelling Word List. Then hand out copies of the list to students so they can check off the words they can spell correctly.
