A. Review Activity:
Begin by recalling what the
students know about vowel
sounds. Quickly review long
vowels (A, I, O) with a few
examples.
Then, introduce the focus for
today: the long /u/ vowel sound
that ends with the letter 'e' (e.g.,
cube, tune, use).
Ask students if they can recall
any words they know with the
long /u/ sound.
Activity:
Quickly review the lesson
from Day 1, emphasizing the
long /u/ vowel sound ending
with 'e'.
Ask a few students to share
words they learned in the last
lesson. Recap the rule for the
silent 'e'.
Activity:
Ask students to recall the sounds
of some words they know (e.g.,
bat, hat, cat). Explain that these
words share a similar sound at the
end and are called rhyming words.
Activity:
Review the concept of rhyming
words from Day 1. Ask students
to recall words they rhymed
yesterday. Quickly go over the
meaning and characteristics of
rhyming words.
B. Establishing
Purpose
Purpose:
Today, we will learn how to
pronounce and spell words that have
the long /u/ sound, ending in an "e"
and understand the rule of the silent
"e" at the end of these words. This
will help you sound out new words
and spell them correctly.
Purpose:
In today’s lesson, we will practice
more with words that have the
long /u/ vowel sound ending with
"e" by using them in sentences
and writing activities.
Purpose:
Today, we are going to
explore rhyming words! We
will learn how to identify
and create rhymes by
listening to, finding, and
making rhyming pairs.
Purpose:
Today, we will create our
own rhyming words and use
them in sentences. We will
also learn to recognize
rhymes in songs and poems.

Activity:
Review words with the long /u/
vowel sound (e.g., cube, use,
