Unit 16-18: ack, ick, ock, and uck Word Families Teacher Page In these lessons students learn: ack, ick, ock, and uck word families Practice spelling words Practice rhyming words the rule that the /k/ sound at the end of a one syllable word with a short vowel is spelled ck. Rule: The /k/ sound at the end of a one syllable short vowel word is spelled with two consonants, ck. Example: Back has ck at the end of the short vowel word. Note: Ask children for other examples of words that end with the /k/ sound. Help them to distinguish short vowel words from long vowel words. All short vowel words ending with the /k/ sound have two consonants at the end. Common Errors: Many children spell short vowel words ending with the /k/ sound as ke or cke. Procedure: Through discussion of the first student page lead to the discovery that a one syllable short vowel word ending with the /k/ sound needs one other consonant between the vowel and the k. In other words, such as ask, silk, and thank we hear the other sound before the k. In these words there is only one sound but k still needs help or protection from those short vowels. Playing this up may help children remember that c and k have to stick together like good friends. Pages 1-4 of each word family lesson in unit 16 and 17 are printed. Pages 5-6 (sentence context and writing own sentences) can be found on the CD. Letter Cards: Use letter cards and or word family cards from the Grade 1 General Resources folder so children can be actively involved with making words. Continue to review syllables by having children clap syllables in words. Remind them that there is one vowel sound in each syllable. If they hear more than one vowel there is more than one syllable. Soon they will be introduced to long vowel word families that need two vowels to make the long sound. They will still have one syllable even though they see two vowels. Only one is heard. The word sorts will help children practice identifying the short vowel sounds, especially the Hear It sort. When students are unsure about the vowel sound they should check the picture clue at the top of the page. Unit 18 reviews all the word families. Pages 3 and 4 are optional puzzle pages. Pages 5 and 6 are picture and word sorts using some of the same pictures and words from the previous units. Blending Sounds: Continue to blend sounds having children spell words for previously taught word families and for families that will not be focused on in a separate lesson (ob, ub, ag, am). These include words such as am, ham, slam, cob, slob, mob, sob, tub, rub, cub, bag, flag, snag. Children should do several word sorts at school or at home before writing the words on the page. They will get many opportunities to focus on these word families. Page 3 of the blend lesson is on the CD. Students write the correct letter for each picture. Mattmann and Cowan 16-2 A
Word Sort: Children should first do an open sort (develop their own categories and tell why they sorted this way). Or they could begin with sorting by categories. Then they should do the Hear It word sort where someone reads the word to them and they indicate the category for placement. Finally, they can sort them one more time beneath the categories on the page and write the words. Group Activity: Place children in teams to act out words in these word families. The child acting out the word goes to the teacher and looks at a card with the word on it. Scoring: All teams write the word they think is being acted out. Each team that gets the word spelled correctly gets a point. Alternative scoring: 1.The first team to write the word correctly gets the point. 2. Each person on the teams writes the word. Each person on the team earns a point for the team. Then someone from the next team acts out a given word. Words for the Charade game are on the next page. Words for Charades Game: sack stack rack back black crack shack smack snack track tack jack lack pack stick brick click chick flick kick lick nick pick tick quick sick slick trick thick wick block dock flock lock clock *knock Rock Sock Stock Shock buck tuck truck stuck luck puck Words With * are challenge words. Children have not had 3 letter blends yet, but might be able to spell these words. Alternate Activitiy: Students can draw the word and have other teams write the name of the picture correctly. Scoring can be done the same as above. Mattmann and Cowan 16-3 A
