Explicit Phonics Lesson
/ōō/ The Hoot Owl Sound
Day 1
Review:
What is a
diphthong? A diphthong is two vowels that make one special sound.
Name
some diphthongs that we have studied already. Ou, ow, oi, oy Refer
to the sound spellings cards for these diphthongs. Review the names of the
cards, the sounds, and the spellings.
This week we
are going to study the diphthong that has the “Hoot Owl” sound, long /ōō/. In our words
this week we will spell the "Hoot Owl" sound with oo and ue .
Phonemic Awareness:
I’m going to
say some words. I want you to tell me if the long/oo/ sound is in the word or
not. For example, if the word is zoo,
you would give me the thumbs up signal because the word has the “Hoot Owl”
sound. If the word is put,
you would give me the thumbs down signal because it does not have the long /oo/
sound.
Pronounce these words to have the
students indicate if the word has the long/ōō/ sound.

Decoding:
The sound of
long/ōō/ can be spelled with oo or ue. Use two colors of markers to
write oo words one spelling at a time on the board as the class sounds out and
the blends the words as a group.

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.

the words are look, truth, and raccoon, you would tell me truth and raccoon have
the /ōō/ sound.
