[upbeat music] - Hi friends, my name is Anna.

I was just thinking about how I love taking a drive in the car, and there's nothing better than just visiting faraway places with your friends or with your family, riding a bike, going on a hike.

If you could jump in a car right now and go anywhere, where would you go?

Oh, those are some pretty interesting places.

Well, my favorite modes of transportation is either to drive or to hike.

And that actually kind of works out perfectly because today the sound we're going to be focusing on is the long i sound, spelled I consonant E. So in school you may have heard of this with like magic 'e', that's what we're gonna be working on today, but specifically just with the long i sound.

Does that sound like fun?

Of course it does.

Okay, so before we get started with our spelling though, I want you to get those ears ready, okay, while I clear my board.

Cool!

Okay, so let's practice segmenting words.

I'm gonna tell you a word.

I want you to break it apart into its individual sounds.

So for example, if I said the word "hike", you would say, hike, huh-i-kuh.

Okay?

So you see how I broke "hike" into its individual sounds.

All right, you ready to try some?

How about the word "bike"?

So bike.

Good, buh-i-kuh.

How about the word "mike"?

Awesome!

Mm-i-kuh.

How about the word "bite"?

Buh-i-tuh.

Okay?

How about the word "like"?

Il-i-kuh.

All right, last one.

How about the word "nine"?

Excellent!

Hnn-i-hnn for nine.

Okay, now let's see how this magic 'e' really works.

What happens is, I'm gonna write a word.

Now how would we read this word?

Well, let's kind of blend through it together.

Puh-ah.

Now what sound is this "i" gonna make here?

That's right, it's not gonna say "i".

Hmm.

That's actually a short vowel sound.

It's gonna say "ih", right?

So puh-ih-hnn.

All right, so what's the word?

Pin.

Now watch what happens when I add magic 'e' to the end.

Here "e" is actually coming here and telling "i" to say it's long sound, or to say it's name.

So no longer do we say pin, now we're gonna go, puh-i-hnn.

Puh-ine.

Pine.

All right, how about this word?

Let's start first by blending what we see here.

Huh-id.

Huh-id.

Say it.

Hid.

Now when I add that magic 'e', remember that "e" is telling "i" to say its name.

Sometimes in school you might mark it as vowel consonant E. So what's it now saying?

So instead of saying hid, it's now huh-ide.

Huh-ide, put it together.

Hide.

Awesome!

How about this one?

Can you read that word for me?

Beautiful, the word is rid.

Rid.

Now I'm gonna place my magic 'e' there.

What is this word going to turn into?

Good!

Rid turned into ride.

All right, do you think we can try one more?

Let me get a little more space on my board here.

All right, here we go.

Read the word.

That's right.

Kuh-it.

Kit.

Now what will this word turn into?

That's right, kit turn into boo-boo-boob.

Kite.

Because E is telling I to make its long sound and say I.

All right.

Would you like to try some continuous blending to read some more words with that long I sound spelled with I consonant E?

Of course, you wanna practice?

Okay, gimme a minute to clear my board again.

Tah!

Okay, so let's read through these words using our continuous blending.

So starting with the first sound, going all the way through, and then reading it really fast, okay?

I'm gonna help you with the first two lines, after that I think you're ready to do this on your own.

Okay?

Buh-ike.

Bike.

Remember we're focusing on E telling I to make its long sound, okay?

Muh-ike.

Mike.

El-ike.

Like.

Hun-ine.

Nine.

Okay, you do this one without me.

Ready?

What's the word?

Side.

How about the next one?

Ride.

Two more.

Dine.

Okay, last one.

Notice there's a die graph there.

White.

Awesome job!

- [Speaker] Let's review.

Think of our sound for today, and let's see how you do with these questions.

What sound does "i" make in this word?

If you said "ih" because the word is pin, you are correct.

What sound does "i" make in this word?

If you said I, you are correct, the word is pine.

- It's time for the lightning round.

When a word appears on the screen, read it as fast as you can.

If you need to blend the sounds first, do so.

Ready?

Let's go.

So how did you do?

Did you say...?

- [Speaker] Bit, bite, rid, ride, fin, and fine.

If you got all six correct, give yourself a high-five.

- Remember I consonant magic 'e' helps the vowel or in this case "i" say it's name or it's long sound, which is what, friends?

That's right, I.

Friends, you did such a wonderful job working with the I Consonant E spelling pattern for long "i".

See if you can find more of these words in books that you're reading with your friends, and with your family.

Well, until next time, bye.
