Simultaneous Oral Spelling Activity (SOS):  
This is to be done with any words that are spelled incorrectly.The student will say the name of each letter as it is written. As each letter is written, students are to also tap with the opposing hand (not the dominant hand) for each letter, starting with their pinky, moving in a left to right direction (or opposite, if left handed).For example, if the student misspells “lunch” and they are right handed, they would write and say “l” and tap their left pinky on the table, then “u” and tap their ring finger on the table and so on and so forth. Left handed students would tap with their thumb first. Here is a link that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=872P7gr0c0o


Syllable- 
has one vowel sound, can be long, short, or schwa, 
and is one push of breath. There are six types of 
syllables. 

So far, we have reviewed all six of the syllable types:

Open Syllable-
An open syllable is "open" because a single vowel is located at the end of a syllable, as in words like hi and go. When the syllable is open, the vowel makes the long vowel sound (it gets to say its name). Other examples- ba-sin, tri-pod, ra-cer.  Ba, tri, and ra are all open syllables. 

* Please have your child copy the following in their notebook:
Open Syllable- When the syllable is open, the vowel makes the long vowel sound (it gets to say its name).

Also, please have your child complete one activity from below. When possible, please watch this video with your child at some point between Monday and Thursday:

• Vowel Team syllable- 

• has at least two vowels that make one sound. "When two vowels go walking, the first one usually does the talking and the second one is quiet." Examples- ai, ay, ee, oa, and ie. 

• rain, day, teeth, boat, and brief

• Closed Syllable-

  A single vowel that is "closed in" by the one or more consonants.

  Consonant le Syllable-
  This syllable is found at the end of a word. 
  To find this syllable, count back three. Consonant le is easy as 1-2-3! bottle, little, kettle
  
  Silent e Syllable- 
  -ends in a silent e and the vowel is long. plane, safe, gate

   Controlled R Syllable-
  Has at least one vowel followed by r.
  The vowel is neither long nor short.

  *A dipthong is a type of vowel team, but the mouth changes position as it produces the sound. Oi, oy, aw, au, and ou as in out, are just a few examples. 
  
  * Schwa (sounds like "uh")- it is an unstressed and neutral sound. It is the third vowel sound.
