Overview:

The study of onset and rime is crucial to the development of reading and writing in K-2 students. This lesson incorporates literature, independent and cooperative learning, critical thinking, and hands-on activities to engage students in learning the -ig rime. Students explore books and magazines for words that have the -ig rime, in addition to brainstorming their own words. Furthermore, assessment is included as students incorporate learned words in context and isolation. This lesson can be adapted to teach various word patterns and could be used for basic ELL instruction.

9. Demonstrate early phonological awareness to basic phonemic awareness skills in spoken words.

a. Count the number of words in a spoken sentence.

b. Recognize alliterative spoken words.

c. Recognize and produce pairs of rhyming words and distinguish them from non-rhyming pairs using pictures and/or spoken words.

d. Count, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words, including compound words.

e. Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words.

f. Identify the initial, final, and medial sounds of spoken words.

g. Blend and segment phonemes in single-syllable spoken words made up of three to four phonemes.

h. Distinguish between commonly confused cognate consonant sounds, using knowledge of voiced and unvoiced sounds and manner of articulation.

Examples: /t/ and /d/, /p/ and /b/, /ch/ and /j/, /s/ and /z/, /f/ and /v/, /k/ and /g/, /sh/ and /zh/, /th/ (voiced and unvoiced)

9a.
  • That spoken sentences are composed of individual words.
9b.
  • That alliterative words begin with the same sound.
9c.
  • Rhyming words.
  • Non-rhyming words.
9d.
  • A word is made up of one or more syllables.
  • Syllables in spoken words are made of a sequence of sounds.
  • Compound words have more than one syllable.
9e.
  • The "onset" is the initial phonological unit of any word (e.g., c in cat).
  • The term "rime" refers to the string of letters that follow the onset, usually a vowel and final consonants (e.g., at in cat).
9f.
  • Spoken words have an initial, final, and medial sound.
9g.
  • Phonemes are individual speech sounds.
  • Single-syllable spoken words are composed of a combination of phonemes.
  • Individual phonemes can be blended to create a complete spoken word or a spoken word can be segmented into its individual phonemes.
9h.
  • Consonant sounds are produced by using different places and manners of articulation.
Skills:
9. Students are able to:
  • Demonstrate early phonological awareness to basic phonemic awareness skills in spoken words.
