Introduce the concept of the long “i” sound and explain that it can be spelled in different ways. 4. Share the learning objectives with the students.

Lesson Outline: 1. Warm-up Game: “I Spy” (10 minutes) - Explain the rules of the game “I Spy” to the students. - Choose a student to start and have them say, “I spy with my little eye, something that makes the long ‘i’ sound.” - Other students take turns guessing objects that make the long “i” sound until someone guesses correctly. - Repeat the game with different students leading.

  1. Questioning (5 minutes)
    • Display a list of long “i” words on the whiteboard or chart paper.
    • Ask the students questions about the words to assess their prior knowledge.
    • Examples: “Can you think of any other words that have the long ‘i’ sound?” “Can you think of any words that rhyme with ‘bike’?”
  2. Explicit Teaching (15 minutes)
    • Introduce the different spelling patterns that create the long “i” sound (e.g., i-e, igh, y).
    • Write examples of words with each spelling pattern on the whiteboard.
    • Explain the pronunciation and meaning of each word.
    • Practice pronouncing the words as a class.
  3. Differentiation (10 minutes)
    • Provide individual whiteboards or paper to each student.
    • Distribute long “i” word cards to the students.
    • Instruct the students to write the word on their whiteboards or paper and underline the spelling pattern that creates the long “i” sound.
    • Monitor the students’ progress and provide assistance as needed.
  4. Reflection (5 minutes)
    • Have a class discussion about the long “i” sound and the different spelling patterns.
    • Ask the students to share any challenges they faced during the lesson and how they overcame them.
    • Summarize the key points of the lesson and review the learning objectives.
