Change y to i and add -ed



Day 1                               

Objective: Given verbs ending in y, add the inflectional endings –es and –ed by changing the y to i and adding the ending.

Review:
          When y comes at the beginning of a word it is a consonant and makes the sound /y/ as in the words yes, yet, yellow, yarn and yak. Y can also be a vowel when it is at or near the end of a word. In the one syllable word cry, the y is the only vowel, and it borrows the long ī sound. (Write cry on the board.) In the two syllable word hurry, the y is the vowel in the second syllable. (Write hurry.)The y borrows the short ĕ sound in hurry.”

New Skill:
          Hurry and cry both have the time meaning of now. Right now I hurry. Right now I cry. If the action is already done in the past, what ending should be added to these words? -ed Let’s try that. (Add -ed to the end of cry without changing the y.) This looks really strange to me! Y is a vowel in this word and it is followed by another vowel e. I don’t know of any vowel team with the spelling –ye. What sound does the y have at the end of cry? /ī/ Let’s try something. Let’s change the y to i before we add –ed. (Rewrite the word cried correctly.) I think that looks better. There is an ie vowel team in our language.”(Erase the incorrect spelling of cried.)
          “Let’s try adding –ed to hurry to make it mean in the past. This time we will change the y to i before adding the –ed. (Write hurried.) The –ie in cried used the long ī sound. The –ie in hurried uses the long ē sound. That looks good to me.  Our rule for adding –ed to the end of a word that ends with y is: Change the y to I and add –ed. (Use the sign for y, a closed fist with the thumb and little finger sticking out, and then change to the sign for i, a closed fist with just the little finger sticking out, as you repeat the rule.) Do that sign with me again as we say the rule together. Change the y to i and add –ed. Let’s do it again. Change the y to i and add –ed. What changes to i? y What does y change to? i Say the rule one more time with the hand sign. Change the y to i and add –ed.”
          “How could I make the word fry mean that it was done yesterday? (Write fry.) Add –ed What do I need to do before adding –ed to fry? Change the y to i then add –ed. (Write the word fried below fry.) Which of the 3 sounds does –ed use in all these words we have just worked with? /d/ That’s right. –ed uses the voiced /d/ sound because the vowel sound at the end of the word uses the voice. Hear it? cried, hurried, and fried all end with –ed using the /d/ sound.”

Phonemic Awareness:
          I’m going to say some words. I want you to tell me if the last sound in the word is /ī/ or /ē/. For example, if the word is fly, you would say /ī/. If the word is study, you would say /ē.   Pronounce these words to have the students tell you what
Sound they hear at the end of each word.

spy              try              copy            dry              marry          carry
fly               scurry          empty          worry          rely             deny  

Decoding:
          For the first word in each pair, use two colors of markers to write the words one spelling at a time on the board. After each spelling say, ”sound” as the class makes the sound for that spelling. When all the spellings are on the board for that word go back and have the class chorally sounds out the words again. Say, “blend” and as you use your finger to underline the word, the class blends the words as a group. Do the same for the second word in each pair except the –ed is written together before it is sounded.
                   try     tried            dry    dried           spy     spied
                   carry carried        study  studied         copy   copied
                   reply  replied         fry     fried            empty emptied

          After the words are decoded, briefly discuss the meanings of the 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 or check the words on the board as they are given as answers. Clues could be:

  1. Last night I ______ the dishes for Mom.                         dried
  2. I will _____ for the test now.                                           study
  3. Yesterday he ______ his backpack home.                         carried
  4. I need to _____ my homework assignment.                       copy
  5. Grandma _____ to the letter I wrote her last week.        replied
  6. We all love to eat ______ chicken.                                   fried
  7. My sister likes to play I _____.                                        spy
  8. I _____ the dishwasher for my mom after dinner.           emptied

The last word (tried) is read by all students and they each use the word in a sentence telling their partner.

Reading Decodable Text:
          Use Transparency 23 in the second grade Harcourt materials . Read the words in the box together. Have the students count how many words they can find in the passage that have the y changed to i before adding -ed. Read the passage to the students, have the class read it chorally, and then have buddy A read to buddy B. Then B will read to A.

Day 2

Review:
          “What time frame is indicated when we add –ed to a word: future, past, or present? Past When a verb ends in the vowel y, what do we have to do before we can add –ed? Change the y to i, then add –ed. (Be sure to use the hand sign.) In a one syllable word with y being the only vowel, what sound does the y use? /ī/ In a two syllable word with a y at the end, what sound does the y use? /ē/ Say our rule for adding –ed after a word ending in y again. Change the y to I and add –ed.

Decoding:
          **Due to the limited number of suitable words to work with, regularly added –ed words will be reviewed along with the words where y is changed to i.
          Write the following words on the board as the students sound and blend the into words ( See Day 1. Use the buddy strategy for more student engagement.)

          loaded                   cleaned                  denied                   applied
          worked                  married                 scratched               hurried

          After the words have all been sounded and blended, discuss the meanings of words that may not be familiar to the students. Use these clues or make up your own.
  1. He _____ breaking the window.                              denied
  2. They were ______ over 35 years ago.                    married
  3. Jim _____ for that new job last week.                   applied
  4. The dog _____ his head with his hind foot.            scratched
  5. Mom _____ the house all day today.                       cleaned
  6. Jake _____ from dawn to dusk on the farm.          worked
  7. We ______ home after school.                               hurried

The last word (loaded) is read by all students silently. They each use the word in a sentence telling their partner.

Long a : ai ay

 


Explicit Phonics  Lesson
ai/ay Spellings
Day 1

          We have studied the short vowel sounds: /ă/, /ĕ/, /ĭ/, /ŏ/, and /ŭ/. The vowels use their short sound in words or syllables where they are closed off by a consonant. (CVC pattern)
          This week we are going to study two ways to spell long ā. These two ways both have two vowels, but only represent one sound: / ā /. When a and i are together in a word they say / ā / as in rain. When a and y come together in a word, they also represent the sound /ā/ as in hay. (Write the spellings and key words on the board or display them on cards.) The two ways we are spelling long ā in words this week are ai as in rain and ay as in hay. ai and ay are vowel teams. The letters work together to make the long ā sound.

PA
          I’m going to say some words. If you hear long ā in a word I want you to touch your earlobe. So if I say lane, you would write the letter a in the air with your finger because it has the long ā sound.  If you don’t hear the long ā, keep your hands in your lap.  If I say tab, you would keep your hands in your lap because it does not have the long ā sound. Pronounce these words without letters or words visible.  Have the students indicate if the word has the long /ā/ sound:

tape         pass         chase        late         last         tart
chair        tray         stand        space      bath        bathe


Decoding:
          Use two colors of markers to write /ā/ words one spelling at a time on the board as the class sounds out and then blends the words as a group. When using the ai or ay spellings write both vowels, use 2 fingers and touch each vowel at the same time for the vowel teams, and say sound.

                   train            brain           chain            mail
                   nail              say               play             jail
                   clay              tray             sail              way                      

          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.     We use this to think                                         brain
2.    Which ____ should we go?                                way
3.    Metal links that hold up a swing                         chain
4.    Letters and postcards                                       mail
5.    A type of transportation that runs on rails        train
6.    A large flat surface to carry dishes on              tray
7.    A place to keep people who break laws               jail
8.    A soft, mussy solid used to model into things       clay
9.    To talk                                                                say
10. A sharp wedge you hit with a hammer                  nail
11.  The large sheet that catches the wind on a boat                                                                    sail

The last word (play) is read by a student and used in a sentence. This exercise will give practice in reading words with the long /ā/ sound and will help expand vocabulary at the same time.

Reading Decodable Text:
          Use the decoding practice page to practice reading long ā words in sentences. Read the passage to the students, have the class read it chorally, and then have buddy A read to buddy B. Then B will read to A.
         
         
Day 2
Review:
          Review the spellings of long ā. Give a key word for each spelling.

Phonemic Awareness:
I am going to give you a word with the long /ā/ sound in it. I want you to segment the words into individual sounds. So if I say ”take” you would give me /t/, /ā/, /k/.  If I asked you where the long ā sound is in the word, you would tell me that it is in the middle of the word.
          Pronounce these words to have the students indicate where in the word the long ā sound is heard:

place            /p/ /l/ /ā/ /s/                shape           /sh/ / ā / /p/
bake            /b/ /ā/ /k/                   paste            /p/ / ā / /s/ /t/
fame            /f/ /ā/ /m/                    date             /d/ / ā / /t/
age              /ā/ /g/                           tea               /t/ /ē/
lake             /l/ /ā/ /k/                    ape                /ā/ /p/
three           /t/ /ā/ /s/ /t/               great            /g/ /r/ / ā / /t/
ache            /ā/ /ch/                        flake              /f/ /l//ā/ /k/


Decoding:
          Write the following words on the board as the students sound and blend into words (Use buddy strategy for more student engagement. See Day 1.)
         
          paid             stay             hay              fail
          braid           spray           today           hail
          stain            gray             pay              bray

Use these clues or make up your own (Be sure to push the vocabulary factor):
1.     Opposite of go                                                            stay
2.    Weaving hair                                                              braid
3.    Ice falling during a thunderstorm                                hail
4.    Now                                                                          today
5.    A color                                                                      gray
6.    Gave money you owe                                                   paid
7.    Couldn’t do what you tried to do                                  fail
8.    The noise a donkey makes                                           bray
9.    Dried grass                                                                hay
10. Fine mist                                                                   spray
11.  Something you can’t wash out of your clothes               stain
Have the student read the last word (pay) and use it in a sentence, telling their partner.

Reading Decodable Text:
          Have student Buddies practice reading the long a phrases (You will need at least one copy for each pair of students.)

Day 3
Review:
          Use the long ā card with a_e, ai and ay to review the 3 spellings that they have studied for the long ā sound. Have words with these spellings on flashcards (about 8) to quickly practice decoding.

Word Building:
          Using a pocket chart and letter cards or magnetic letter tiles work through the word chain:
rain             day              paid
gain             may              maid
grain            ray              raid
train            tray             braid
trail             bray            brain
rail              bay              grain
fail              say              rain
mail             stay             pain
nail              stray           plain

         
Reading Decodable Text:
          Have student Buddies practice rereading the long a phrases (You will need at least one copy for each pair of students.)

Day 4
Review:
          Review quickly the 3 long ā spellings, and the key words for each. Have the students give words that have these target spellings. List them on the board with the students’ help to spelling them.

Encoding:
          Use the dictation procedure.
          1.   /ā/ a_e      /ă/ a      /ā/ ay      /ā/ ai        /ŏ/ o
          2.   main       rain          rail
          3.   way        wait         trail
          4.   railway    today 
         
We can wait for the rain to stop.       

Reading Decodable Text:
          Provide students with copies of ai/ay sentences. Have them locate and circle words with the long ā spellings in the words. Then practice reading the sentences with buddy strategy.



Day 5
Review:
          Review quickly the long ā spellings using the yellow, long ā spelling card. Using six to eight 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.       /ī/ i_e      /ā/ ay      /ĕ/ e    /ā/ a_e     /ā/ ai
          2.       pay              play             clay
