Type: Interactive/Game

Overview:

Picture Match is designed to give new readers practice with identifying beginning-letter and short- and long-vowels sounds through a simple, fun game. Updated in 2008, the game features all letters of the alphabet. In the beginning-letter sounds section, a picture of an object (for example, a car) is displayed, and students are prompted to choose the letter that corresponds with the first letter of the word. In the short- and long-vowel sounds sections, students are prompted to choose the vowel that corresponds with the word. If students choose the correct match, they get words of encouragement and a new picture. If they do not choose the correct match, they receive an audible prompt and can then try again, choosing among the remaining letters. Once all of the pictures have been matched, students can print out a chart showing which pictures go with which letters. Pictures are sorted randomly with each game to provide a challenge if the game is played more than once. Picture Match is intended for beginning readers and can be used individually or in small groups.

ELA2021 (2021)
Grade: K
10. Apply knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and word-analysis skills to decode and encode (spell) words accurately in both isolation and in decodable, grade-appropriate text.

a. Produce the most frequent sound(s) for each consonant, including x and q, which have two phonemes (sounds).

Examples: x= /ks/ and q=/kw/

b. Identify the vowel in a closed syllable and produce the short vowel sound for the five major vowels when decoding closed syllables.

c. Decode consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words in isolation and in decodable text.

d. Identify the vowel in an open syllable and produce the long vowel sound for the five major vowels when decoding open syllables.

e. With prompting and support, identify the vowel-consonant-e syllable pattern and produce the long vowel sounds for the five major vowels in vowel-consonant-e syllables.

f. With prompting and support, decode words with suffix -s, using knowledge of unvoiced /s/ and voiced /z/ sounds for letter s.

Examples: pups, cats, pigs, dogs

Note: Unvoiced /s/ follows unvoiced sounds such as /p/ and /t/ and voiced /z/ follows voiced sounds such as /g/.

g. With prompting and support, produce the most frequent sound for digraphs ck, sh, th, ch, wh, ng, and combination qu, making the connection that a two-letter grapheme can represent one phoneme (sound).

h. Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the phonemes and graphemes that differ.

Example: mat/sat, pan/pat, tip/top

i. Decode grade-appropriate high frequency words that are spelled using predictable, decodable phoneme-grapheme correspondences.

Examples: am, at, get, like, make, that, this, me, she, be

Note: The main emphasis of a high-frequency word lesson should be on regular correspondences and patterns, noting the high-frequency words with exceptions or oddities and what they are, using specific strategies to help them remember the irregular part of the word. Example: LETRS© heart word strategy

  • Word-analysis skills are used to determine how to decode or encode based on letter position, adjacent letters, etc.
10a. Students understand that:
  • Consonants are the letters in the alphabet that are not vowels, such as b, d, g, n, r, s, and t. Consonant sounds are made by blocking air using your teeth, tongue, or lips.

  • Vowel-consonant-e syllables contain one vowel, followed by a single consonant, and then the letter e.
  • The vowel sound is long and the e is silent.
10f.
  • When suffix -s is after an unvoiced consonant, it makes the unvoiced /s/ sound, like in the words pups or cats.
  • When suffix -s is after an voiced consonant, it makes the voiced /z/ sound, like in the words pigs and dogs.
10g.
  • The digraphs ck, sh, th, ch, wh, ng, and qu are made of two graphemes (letters) and represent one phoneme (sound).
  • Combination qu represents two unexpected speech sounds, /k/ and /w/.
10h.
  • There is a relationship between letters and sounds, and that changing a letter in a word changes how it is read.
10i.
  • High-frequency words are words that commonly appear in text, so it is important to decode them accurately and automatically.

    • They can use syllable division principles to break a word apart to make it easier to spell.
    • They can use their knowledge of the six syllable types to accurately encode words.
    • There are spelling rules, or generalizations, in the English language that can help them spell words accurately.
    38a.
    • They correctly spell multisyllabic words by using their knowledge of the spelling patterns of the six syllable types.
    38b.
    • When spelling multisyllabic words, they should divide the word into individual syllables and use their knowledge of the syllable types to spell each syllable correctly.
    38c.
    • There are no words in the English language that end with v, so words that end with a /v/ sound will follow the spelling rule of adding an -e to the end of the word.
    • There are no words in the English language that end with j, so words that end with a /j/ sound will follow the spelling rule of adding an -ge or -dge to the end of the word.
    38d.
    • Vowels have more than one sound (long or short).
    • They can spell one or two-syllable words by knowing the spelling rules for long and short vowel patterns.
    38e.
    • When spelling a word with a two- or three-letter consonant blend, each consonant produces its sound.
    • When spelling a word with a digraph and a blend, the digraph will be represented by two letters that make one sound, combined with a consonant that produces its sound.
    38f.
    • Some words have special combinations of letters that can be encoded using their knowledge of phoneme-grapheme correspondences.
    38g.
    • Vowel teams are a combination of two, three, or four letters that represent one vowel sound.
    • Diphthongs are a combination of vowels that glide in the middle due to a shifting mouth position.
    38h.
    • When an r follows a vowel or a vowel team, the vowel sound frequently changes, and the spellings of these sounds are variable.
    38i.
    • The can use the predictable spelling patterns of -ild, -ost, -old, -olt, and -ind to correctly spell words.
    38j.
    • Adjacent letters and letter position within a word can change the sound a letter produces.
    38k.
    • When the letters or come after w, they do not make the same sound as words with or after other letters, such as fork, Oreo.
    • When they hear the /er/ sound after the /w/ sound, the word will be spelled with the or vowel combination.
    38l.
    • The letter that follows a c or g determines the sound that c or g will make in a word.
    • C makes a hard sound when it comes before a, o, u, or any consonant, and it makes a soft sound when it comes before i, e, or y.
    • G makes a hard sound when it comes before a, o, u, or any consonant, and it makes a soft sound when it comes before i, e, or y.
    38m.
      Y can represent three vowel sounds: long /ī/, long /ē/, and short /ĭ/.
    • Letter y represents the long /ī/ sound in one syllable words when the y is in the final position.
    • Letter y makes the long /ē/ sound in two-syllable words when the y is in the final position.
    • Letter y represents the short /ĭ/ sound when the y is in the medial position of the word.
    38n.
    • Prefixes are added to the beginning of a base word and some have predictable spelling patterns, like pro-, trans-, non-, mid-.
    • Suffixes are added to the end of a base word and some have predictable spelling patterns, like -ful, -less, -ness, -ed.
    • Words can be spelled by identifying the prefixes or suffixes within the word.
    • Some base words require changes before a suffix is added.
    38o.
    • Some high frequency words have irregular spelling patterns that they must learn to be able to spell the words accurately.
    38p.
    • Contractions are made up of two words that are shortened by combining the two words and replacing the omitted letters with an apostrophe.
    • Accurate spelling of contractions requires correct apostrophe usage.
    38q.
    • Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but have different spellings and meanings.
    • It is important to spell homophones accurately to convey their intended message.
