Hi friends, it's Isabel, and welcome to my learning corner.
Today, we're learning about one of the sounds that the vowel team OO makes, oo, like in book, look and took.
Are you ready to do some planning with me?
[children cheering] Great, let's get started.
Before we begin to read words with the vowel team, OO that says, oo, we are going to practice a phonemic awareness activity.
I'm going to say some sounds.
You are gonna repeat those sounds and together, we're going to blend them to make a word.
Keep an ear out for our oo sound of the day.
Are you ready?
Let's try one together, L-I-F-T, L-I-F-T, lift, lift.
Good job, let's try another one.
J-U-M-P, J-U-M-P, jump, jump.
Let's try another one.
C-OO-K. Cook!
Did you hear our sounds of the day?
Great job.
Now we're ready to build some words, let's go.
Are you ready to read with me?
[children cheering] Great, today our focus is on the vowel team, OO, that actually makes two sounds.
But today, we're gonna focus just on one of the sounds that the vowel team OO, which is oo.
Can you say that sound for me again, oo?
We're gonna use it to blend the sounds together to make the word, B-OO-K, book.
What's that word?
Book.
If I wanted to change the word book to took, what letter am I going to have to change?
Book, took.
That's right, I'm gonna have to change the B. I'm gonna change the B to the letter T that says T. What is this word?
Took, excellent, and you know, I took a look at you and you're excellent.
What if I wanna change the word took to look?
What would you expect to see?
What should I change?
Took, look.
I have to change the T. L, L makes the L sound.
Look, look.
Let me try another word.
What is this word?
Wow, you picked this up really fast.
Lemme try to catch up, F-OO-T, foot.
Foot, you're right!
You have a foot, and I have a foot.
But guess who doesn't have a foot?
A horse.
What does a horse have?
A horse has a hoof, H-OO-F, hoof.
That's a horse's foot.
One last one.
Sound this one out for me?
Sh-OO-K, shook, shook.
Now you're ready to read.
Let's read, think of our vowel team for today.
Let's answer a question before we read.
What sound does this vowel team represent when you see them together?
That's right, oo.
Now we're ready to read.
I want you to show what you know.
when the word appears on the screen, read it as fast as you can.
If you need to sound out the words as you read, that's fine, let's go.
[no audio] How did you do?
Did you read all of the words correctly?
Let's see, stood, soot, hood, rook, good, wood.
Great job, are you ready to write a word with me?
Great, I want you to grab a pencil or something to write with and a piece of paper or something to write on and come on back.
[upbeat cheerful music] Are you ready?
Great, the word we're going to be writing today is the word brook.
A brook is a small stream.
It's like it bubbles a little bit.
The word is brook.
Can you say that word?
Let's tap it together, B-R-OO-K. Go ahead and write that word down right now.
Yes, you got the vowel team in there, good job.
Okay, okay, tell me what to write.
B-R-OO-K, excellent!
Is this what you wrote?
Great job, oh, you have done a marvelous job today, friends, learning all about one of the sounds that the vowel team OO makes, which is oo.
Listen out for the sound this week, and see you next time friends!
