1. Review: Vowel Digraphs
A vowel digraph is made up of two vowel letters that combine to make a single vowel sound.
Vowel digraphs can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of a word or syllable.
Knowing the position of a vowel sound in a word can help a writer determine which vowel digraph to use to spell the word.
1. Discover It: Vowel Digraphs oa and ow
• Float, bowl, glow, loan, own, croak, show, oat
• Sort the words into two columns• Oa Ow
bowlfloat
glow
own
loancroak
oat show
1. Discover It: Vowel Digraphs oa and ow
Each of the words listed on the previous slide (float, bowl, glow, loan, own, croak, show, oat) have the long o sound in them Oa and ow represent the long o sound
Ow is found at the beginning, middle, or end of words Example: own, bowl, show
Oa is found at the beginning or middle of words Example: oat, loan
1. Memorize It
Words with oe can also represent or sound the same
Oe can also sound like the long o sound Example:
Toe, doe
2. Sort It: Vowel Digraphs
Please turn to workbook page 61Highlight or underline the words with the
long o or the long a soundCircle the vowel digraph that represents
those soundsWrite the word under the correct heading
Workbook Page R67Open Final Silent e Vowel digraph /a/
Vowel digraph /o/ Vowel Digraph /e/
Vowel digraph /i/
Open and Final Silent e should have words in these
two columns already. If not, add two words now.
If that is done, think of two words for Vowel Digraph /a/ and Vowel Digraph /o/. Add
those words to the two columns.
2. Write It: Essential Words
Please turn to workbook page 62Review the Essential Words in the Word
BankPut the words in alphabetical order and write
them on the linesWrite one sentence for each Essential WordCheck that each sentence uses sentence
signals- correct capitalization, commas, and end punctuation
3. Review: Base Words and Suffixes
A base word is a word that can stand alone and does not have a prefix or a suffix
A base word can have one or more syllables Example: slow, yel/low
Prefixes and suffixes are affixes, or meaningful word parts, that can be added to base words
Suffixes are added to the ends of words and extend or modify these words’ meanings Examples to follow
3. Review: Base Words and Suffixes
Base Word + Suffix = New Word
Clean + -er = Cleaner
Weak + -est = Weakest
Cream + -y = Creamy
• The suffixes –er and –est are added to base words to form comparative and superlative adjective forms.• The suffix –er means “more.” The suffix –est means “most.”
3. Introduction: Suffix -y
-y : means “characterized by, consisting of, quality or condition of”
Examples: Snowy, Misty, Lucky
- Snowy: A condition of snow
- Creamy: Consisting of cream
- Lucky: Characterized by luck

sense

Meaning: easy for you to do or complete
Example: I want you on my team because the game is right up your alley.
4. Review: Adjective Suffixes
Hardcover page 46 can be used to review adjectives and suffixes used to form adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe nounsAdjectives tell which one? What kind? Or
how many?The meaning of –y is “characterized by,”
“consisting of,” or “condition of”The meaning of –er is “more”The meaning of –est is “most”

-er, and –est into the appropriate columns
4. Introduction: Commas in Addresses
A comma is used when writing an address to separate the street number and name from the city
Another comma is used to separate the city from the state
If the address is used inside a sentence, a comma is used after the state
Example: We are moving to 300 New Street, Oldtown,
Massachusetts, in late August.
4. Punctuate It: Commas in Addresses
In a mailing address, a two-letter state abbreviation and a zip code are used instead of the name of the state. A comma is not used between the state abbreviation and the zip code.
