That s because elephants are some of the smartest animals on Earth! Scientists can tell how smart animals are in many ways. One way is brain size. Animals that have large brains compared to their bodies are usually pretty sharp. Another sign of intelligence is whether an animal recognizes itself when it looks in a mirror. Scientists have also observed that animals that care for their babies for a long time are often smarter. Elephants, dolphins, and chimpanzees pass all three of these tests. Let s begin with elephants. They have a good memory, which helps them tell their friends from their enemies. They can use tools and follow human commands. They also show caring for each other and for other animals, which is seen as a strong sign of intelligence. Dolphins can learn and repeat behavior, which is probably why they re so popular in water park shows. Dolphins talk to each other through sounds like clicks or whistles. Scientists think that they even have names for each other. Dolphins have also been used by the U.S. Navy to help find underwater mines that s pretty clever. Chimps are perhaps the smartest animals next to humans. They can solve tough problems, use tools, and share hunting duties in groups. Many chimps have been taught sign language to communicate with people. Scientists have also seen these caring animals take care of an elderly chimp. Next time you visit a zoo, take a close look at the creatures you see. They may be smarter than you think!

2 Day One Supporting ELs Point out to Spanish-speaking ELs that many Spanish cognates for English words with ph are spelled with f in Spanish, for example: la física/physics; el teléfono/ telephone; el elefante/elephant. Write these words on the chalkboard and explain that remembering the Spanish spelling will help students correctly pronounce these words in English. Blending Practice If some students have difficulty reading the words, help them read the words syllable by syllable. For example, write the word photocopy on the chalkboard. Point out how you look for vowel sounds to tell you how many syllables there are. Show how you divide the word into four syllables: pho/to/cop/y. Model using the rules for open and closed syllables to determine the vowel sounds. Read each syllable and then blend the syllables together: pho/to/cop/y: photocopy. Continue to support students who need help with blending throughout the week, using the example words used in the lesson. Review Silent Consonants t, g, w, k, h, gh Focus Words: castle, design, wrinkle, knuckle, honest, through Ask students what they remember about words such as design, castle, and through. If needed, remind them that these words contain silent consonant sounds. Say the focus words aloud and have students write the words in their word study notebooks. Then have students underline the silent consonants in each word. Ask students to work with a partner to check their work and then use each of the words in an oral sentence. Introduce Consonant Digraphs ch, gh, ph, sh Model Write the words phantom, alphabet, and enough on the chalkboard and read them aloud to students. Underline the digraphs ph and gh in the words. Discuss any word meanings that students might not know, such as phantom. Say: All of these words have consonant digraphs that stand for the sound. These digraphs can be found in the beginning, middle, or end of words. Point to each word and ask students where they hear the sound. Write teach on the chalkboard and say it aloud. Underline the ch digraph. Say: The ch at the end of teach is another consonant digraph. This digraph stands for the sound. This digraph can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of words. Next write shiny on the chalkboard and say it aloud. Underline the sh. Say: The sh at the beginning of shiny is a consonant digraph that stands for the sound. This digraph can also appear at the beginning, middle, or end of words. Write daughter on the chalkboard and read it aloud. Point out the gh in the middle of daughter and remind students that in some words, such as daughter, the gh is silent. Guide Draw a five-column chart on the chalkboard with the headings: ch, ph, gh, sh, and silent gh. Then write reach, phrase, cough, eggshell, and naughty on the chalkboard. With students, decide in which category each of the words on the chalkboard belongs and write the words in the correct column of the chart.. All rights reserved. Teachers may photocopy the reproducible pages for classroom use. No other part of the guide may be reproduced or transmitted in whole or in part in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording, or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher. Printed in Guangzhou, China. XXXX-XXXX-XXXX ISBN: Apply Ask students to work with a partner to create sentences in their word study notebooks with the words from the chalkboard. 2

3 Spelling Words with Consonant Digraphs Unit Spelling Words: alphabet, nephew, coughing, laughter, approach, champion, accomplish, shortage Write the words alphabet, nephew, laughter, and coughing on the chalkboard. Ask students what all the words have in common. After students have identified the sound, ask them to tell you what letters make the sound. Circle the digraphs ph and gh in the words. Write the words approach and champion on the chalkboard. Ask volunteers to come up and circle the consonant digraph that stands for the sound in the words. Repeat with the words accomplish and shortage, asking volunteers to circle the digraph that stands for the sound. Assessment Tip If students are having difficulty with the ch, gh, ph, or sh spellings or sounds, give them the anchor chart on BLM 1 to use as a reference. Encourage them to add other examples of words with these consonant digraphs to the chart. Home/School Connection Students can take home a list of the spelling words and practice reading, writing, and spelling the words with a family member. Make sure students understand the meanings of the words. Ask volunteers to use the words in oral sentences. Ask students to copy the spelling words in their word study notebooks. Ask students to underline the ch, gh, ph, or sh spelling in each word. Then have partners check each other s spelling and underlining. 3

Sound Sort Teacher Word Cards: chopstick, tougher, daughter Teacher Category Cards Place the category cards next to each other in a pocket chart. Hold up the word card chopstick and model how to sort it. Think aloud: I see the digraph ch at the beginning of this word and, when I say the word, I hear the sound. I will place the word into the category for. Hold up the word card tougher. Ask students which digraph they see in the word. Have them read the word aloud to hear that sound that the digraph stands for. Ask a volunteer to come up and place the word in the pocket chart. Hold up the word card daughter and ask students which digraph they see. Ask students to read the word aloud and tell you what they notice about the digraph. (silent gh) Ask a volunteer to come up and place the word in the pocket chart. Give pairs of students the word cards from BLM 3 and the category cards from BLM Ask them to work together to sort the rest of the cards according to the sounds of the consonant digraphs. Remind them to watch for words in which the gh digraph is silent. Home/School Connection Have students take home BLM 6 to complete with a family member. Students can also take home the word cards and share their sorts with a family member. Supporting ELs Because some ELs may not have someone at home who speaks English well enough to work with them on BLM 6, make sure that they understand the directions. Buddy Sort Give pairs of students the category cards from BLM Have them use word cards from BLM 4 to sort the words according to the sounds of the consonant digraphs in the words. Invite one student to read a word and ask in which category to place the word. When the other student responds and the word is placed, the other student chooses a word and asks where the word should be sorted. Have students sort words with silent consonant digraphs in the category. Spelling. Select an example of each of the various spellings and sounds from the unit spelling words and ask students to use their word study notebooks to write sentences that use these words. 4

5 Day Three Speed Sort Remind students that yesterday they sorted words according to the sounds of the consonant digraphs. Ask them to explain what was different about the consonant digraphs in words like caught and naughty. Make sure students understand that the gh digraph in these words is silent. Remind them that they need to remember this when they spell the words. Give students the category cards from BLM 2, the word cards from BLM 5, and a stopwatch. Have them time themselves as they sort the words. After all the words have been sorted, ask partners to compare their sorts and point out the consonant digraph in each word. Applying Meaning. Give students BLM 7 and ask them to complete the activity, choosing the word that doesn t fit with the others in the set. Speed Sort attach childhood spinach screech accomplish shipping shower washer autograph hyphen laughter pharaoh physical roughest taught thought Assessment Tip Use students completed BLM 7 to assess their understanding of the spelling patterns for the words. Note whether they need more practice in applying the different spellings. Providing Support ELs and struggling readers may have difficulty completing BLM 7 on their own. Have them work with a partner and a dictionary to read and complete it. Home/School Connection Give students BLM 8 to complete with a family member. Explain that they are to do the same thing they did on BLM 7 in class. Supporting ELs Make sure that ELs understand what to do on BLM 8 since there may not be anyone at home who speaks English well enough to help them complete it. 5

6 Day Four Providing Support Some ELs and struggling readers may have difficulty reading the passage. Have these students read with an on-level reader. Alternatively, you could read the passage to them while they follow along or echoread with you. Ask students to look and listen for examples of words with the target spellings ch, gh, ph, sh.

Answer Key Reading Passage (BLM 9) Home/School Connection Have students take the reading passage on BLM 9 home to read to a family member and point out the words that have either ch, gh, ph, or sh digraphs. Supporting ELs Make sure ELs know the meanings of the spelling words. Before student pairs use BLM 11, have the partners tell each other oral sentences using the spelling words. Word Hunt Give each student a copy of the passage on BLM 9. Tell them that they will be going on a word hunt, looking for examples of words that are spelled with ch, gh, ph, or sh. Ask students to complete the word hunt on their own, circling words that contain ch, gh, ph, or sh. After students have completed the word hunt, have them sort the words by digraph, using a chart in their word study notebooks. Then, have students meet together in small groups and read the words they found aloud to the group. Have students work together to use some of the words in sentences. Spelling Dictation Give students Spelling Dictation (BLM 10). Dictate the following words from last week s spelling words to students, one at a time, and have students write them on their BLMs: align, rhyme, brought. Dictate the following words from this week s unit, one at a time, having students write them on the BLMs: alphabet, approach, accomplish. Dictate the following sentence and have students write it on their papers: There s certainly not a shortage of laughter when my nephew is around. Write the words and sentence on the chalkboard and have students self-correct their papers. Spelling Practice Give pairs of students Spelling Peer Check (BLM 11). While one student reads the spelling words from his or her word study notebook, the other student writes the words in the First Try column. After the second student has spelled the words, the first student places a check mark next to words spelled correctly. For the second try, the first student may prompt the second student by sounding out the words that were spelled incorrectly the first time. If the second spelling attempt is correct, the first student places a check mark in the Second Try column. Then students switch roles. 6

7 Day Five Spelling Assessment Use the following procedure to assess students spelling of the unit spelling words: Say a spelling word and use it in a sentence. Have students write the word on their papers. Continue with the remaining words on the list. When students have finished, collect their papers and analyze their spelling of the words. Use the assessment to plan small-group or individual practice.
