• Segment Sounds and Review Words with Long "O" and Long "I"
  Review words with long "o" and long "i" sounds with NYCDOE Universal Literacy Reading Coach Vida Nazemian. Students will segment words, break words into their individual sounds, review vowel teams for long "o" and long "i", and build, blend, and read words and sentences.
• Sounding Out Activities
  In Sounding Out activities, students take a regular word, such as sat, produce the letter-sound pattern "sssaaat," and blend to produce the word sat. This is a crucial development in learning to read, bringing together skills that students have spent many weeks working on and providing the first excitement of reading unaided. Being able to sound out regular words also provides students with a self-teaching capability: they can decode unaided words they do not yet recognize on sight.
• Spelling: Y as a Vowel and a Consonant
  Determine whether is acting as a vowel or consonant
