Explicit Phonics Lesson
oi/oy
Day 1
Phonemic Awareness:
We have been
studying diphthongs. What is a diphthong? (2 vowels that work together
to make a sound.) Last week we studied ou and ow. The
sound of ou and ow is /ou/ as in, “Ow! I hurt my knee!” (point or show
the “Hurt Knee” sound card.) Give me some words with
the /ou/ sound.
This week we
are going to study the diphthong that has the “Pig” sound, /oi/. The
pig makes the sound “oink”. The sound of the diphthong oi/oy is the first sound
in “oink”.
What is the “Pig”
sound? /oi/
I am going to
say some words. I want you to tell me if the /oi/ sound is in the word or not. For
example, if the word is boy, you would give me the thumbs up
signal because the word has the “Barking Seal” sound. If the word is house, you would give me the
thumbs down signal because it does not have the /oi/ sound.
Pronounce these words to have the
students indicate if the word has the /oi/ sound:
moist enjoy south choice oil joint toy
about loud annoy load tooth
corduroy toil
Spelling Generalizations:
Spelling Generalizations:
Use oi at the beginning or in the middle of a word for the “oi” sound.
Use oy at the end of a word for the “oi” sound.
Decoding:
The sound /oi/
is usually spelled with oi
when it is in the middle of the word and oy
when the sound is at the end of a word. (Show the “Pig” sound card.) Use
two colors of markers to write /oi/ words one spelling at a time on the board
as the class sounds out and then blends the words as a group.
join moist toy spoil
point boil coin
voice
oil soil boy choice
joy enjoy destroy avoid
After the words are decoded, briefly
discuss meanings of words that may be unfamiliar to the students. Reread the
lines of words with the class. Then give clues and have the students tell their
buddy which word is the answer. Call on one set of buddies to give and spell
the answer. Circle the words on the board as they are given as answers. Clues
could be:
1.
A little wet…moist
2.
A money word…coin
3.
You use this when you speak…voice
4.
To tear something apart…destroy
5.
To keep away from something…avoid
6.
A male person…boy
7.
To ruin or go bad…spoil
8.
Something used to lubricate a car engine…oil
9.
Another word for dirt…soil
10. To be very happy…joy
11. Something to play with…toy
12. I want to ______ the Boy Scouts
this year…join
13. To heat until it bubbles…boil
14. We will ________ the movie…enjoy
15. You made a good _________...choice
The last word (point) is read by a student and used in a sentence.
This exercise will give practice in reading words with the /oi/ sound and will
help expand vocabulary at the same time.
Vowel Sound Chart:
Fill in the space on the vowel sound
chart for oi and oy
Reading Decodable Text:
Have the students highlight words in the
phrases that have the /oi/ sound. Read the phrases to the students, have the
class read them chorally, and then have buddy A read to buddy B. Then B will read
to A.
Day 2
Review:
Review the definition of a diphthong (2
vowels that work together to make a sound.) Review the diphthongs already
studied (/ou/ and /oi/) using the Sound Spelling cards. Be sure to refer to the
sounds as the “Hurt Knee” and “Pig” sounds.
Phonemic Awareness:
I am going to say a word with the /oi/ sound. I want you to tell me
if the /oi/ sound is at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the
word. For example, if the word is boy,
you would give me the signal for the sound /oi/ being at the end of the word. Each student could use cards with B,
M, and E. Another procedure could be to
use thumbs up for beginning, thumbs down for ending, and right hand between the
thumb and fingers of the left hand for middle.)
Pronounce these words to have the
students indicate where in the word the /oi/ sound is heard:
soil joy oil coin ointment toy
voice noise decoy point Roy foil
Decoding:
Write the following words on the board
as the students sound and blend into words (see Day 1. Use buddy strategy for
more student engagement.)
hoist soy noise joint
coil foil Roy royal
cowboy employ decoy rejoice
loyal poison voyage joyful
Use these clues or
make up your own:
1.
Shiny silver colored metal sheet…foil
2.
A boy’s name…Roy
3.
A long journey made on a ship…voyage
4.
Your knee is a ________...joint
5.
To hire some to work for you…employ
6.
Wooden or plastic ducks used when you hunt…decoys
7.
Synonym for happy…joyful
8.
A bean used as a source of protein…soy
9.
Synonym for sound…noise
10. To raise something up by pulling
down on a rope…hoist
11. A dangerous substance that could kill you…poison
12. To be faithful…loyal
13. A word used to describe a kings
family…royal
14. A rope or wire wound up in a
circle…coil
15. The _______ rode a painted horse…cowboy
Have
a student read the last word (rejoice) and use
it in a sentence.
Reading Decodable Text:
Have student Buddies practice reading
the phrases again. They should pair up and read them to each other while the teacher drops in and listens to various pairs reading. (You will need to copy one for each pair of
students.)
Day 3
Review:
Use Sound Spelling cards to review
diphthongs ou, ow, oi, and oy. Have words with these spellings on flashcards
(about 12) to quickly practice decoding.
Word
Building:
Using a pocket chart and letter cards
or magnetic letter tiles work through the word chains:
joy foil soil voice boil
boy toil spoil choice broil
coy coil
soy coin
toy join
Troy joint
point
Encoding:
Use the dictation procedure.
1. oi
ow oy
2. toil
boil spoil
3.
choice voice
moist
4. enjoy avoid
destroy
5. Avoid getting poison ivy or it will
spoil the trip.
Reading Decodable Text:
Have the students highlight all the oi and oy words in the sentences and practice reading them in pairs.
Day 4
Review:
Review quickly the definition of a
diphthong, and the sounds of ou, ow, oi, and oy. Have the students give words
that have these target sounds. List them on the board with the students’ help
in spelling them.
“Chunking” Words:
Write these words on the board one at
a time. Circle syllables and have the students read that syllable. Once all
syllables are circled, blend the syllables into words. (Always discuss word
meanings when deemed necessary.)
avoid turmoil rejoice destroy voyage moisture
appoint tinfoil broiler employ rejoice overjoy
Reading Decodable Text:
Have the students practice reading the phrases and sentences again using the buddy strategy.
Day 5
Review:
Review quickly the definition of a
diphthong, and the sounds of ou, ow, oi, and oy using the sound spelling cards.
Using about a dozen word cards, have Buddy A read the first word and tell a
sentence using the word to Buddy B. Call on one Buddy A to share their
sentence. Then for the next card, Buddy B reads and tells a sentence using the
word to Buddy A. Continue until all the word cards have been used.
Encoding:
Use the dictation procedure:
1. oi
ŏ ou oy
ō
2. hoist point noise
3. join rejoin joint
4. pinpoint turmoil employ
5. I
knew the crowd was overjoyed from hearing their loud noise.

The Lost Coin
Roy was annoyed when he lost the coin his uncle Troy had given him for his birthday. It was in a royal blue box with a white ribbon around it. He had hoped that it hadn't been destroyed somehow.
Roy asked his friend Joyce to join in the search for the coin. Roy appointed her to look upstairs while he searched downstairs. As he searched, he heard her voice calling from upstairs to say that she had found it. However, it turned out to be a turquoise box, not his royal blue one. They had no choice but to continue their search.
When Roy finally found the coin box, it had fallen in a coil of rope and was very soiled. Nevertheless, Roy was overjoyed to have his coin again. He didn't forget to thank his loyal friend Joyce for joining him in his search.
