Phonic Focus Decode words with V/CV and VC/V
Patterns

• A number of words have the VCV pattern that is,
  one consonant sits between two vowels. Many of
  these words have long vowel sounds, but some have
  short vowels.
• In words with long vowels, the syllables are
  divided after the vowel. These are called open
  syllables because they end with a long vowel
  sound. (example fa mous)
• In words with short vowels, the syllables are
  divided after the consonant. These are called
  closed syllables because they end with a
  consonant and the vowel is short. (example fin
  ish)
• Practice this skill using this weeks spelling
  words
• river, cider , level, stolen, never , spoken,
  promise, talent, cabin ,razor radar, wiper, pity,
  limit, habit, easel ,diver, bison

Comprehension Literary DeviceForeshadowing

• Authors sometimes use a device called
  foreshadowing to provide clues about what may
  happen later in a story or play. Readers can use
  these clues to make predictions about the
  resolution of a conflict or solution to a
  problem.
• Foreshadowing Chart

10
Comprehension Problem and Solution

• The problem in a story can be presented as a
  conflict the character needs to face.
• The solution involves the steps a character takes
  to try to solve the problem. The solution can
  also be called the resolution.
• Certain words or phrases in a story, such as so,
  as a result of, or consequently can signal that a
  solution has been reached.
• Log in to Study Island to practice.

11
Comprehension Make Judgments

• One way to evaluate a text is to make judgments
  about the characters and their actions. The way
  that a playwright presents the characters in a
  play reflects the message he or she wants to get
  across.
• Think carefully about what each character does
  and says.
• Compare this to the way people act and speak in
  real life.
• Pay close attention to the words the characters
  use. Ask yourself what kind of person would say
  something like that. How would you react is
  someone said these words to you?
• Graphic organizers are always good to help you
  sort information. When making judgments, a
  Judgment Flow Chart is a good graphic organizer
  to use.
