[bright music] ♪ L E A R N ♪ L E A R N ♪ L E A R N ♪ I love to learn ♪ Woo [children cheer] - Hi friends!

It's Isabel and welcome to my Learning Corner.

Today we're gonna be learning about two vowel teams that say A!

A I, that says A and A Y that says A.

Are you ready to learn with me?

[children cheer] Great!

Let's get started!

Today I'd like us to get started with a phonemic awareness activity.

Phonemic awareness activities call for you to listen to all the sounds you hear in words.

And today I'm gonna say a word, you are going to repeat the word, and then we're going to break the word up into all the sounds we hear.

So first I'd like you to stand up.

That's right.

Stand up and break some words in parts with me.

The first word I'd like us to try is wait.

Can you say that word?

Great.

Let's break wait up into its parts.

W A T. Good job!

you're ready to break some words up with me!

We call that segmenting.

Alright, the next word is clay.

Ca L Ay!

Clay!

Good job!

The next word is brain.

B R Ay N. Excellent!

Last word, train.

Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo!

T Rr, that's tricky.

A, N. Excellent job!

Now you're ready to build some words with me.

[children cheer] I love building words with you.

Today we're gonna learn a little bit more about the vowel team's, AI and AY that both say A.

There's a couple of important things you need to keep in mind.

AI can only be found at the beginning and the middle of a word.

AY is only found at the end of a word.

Vowel teams are two vowels or a vowel and a consonant that work together to make a sound.

So let's see how these two vowel teams work in a word.

I'm gonna start with the word paid.

Can you say that word?

P Ai D. Paid.

Pa. Ai, da.

Hmm.

What should go in the middle of this word?

AI or AY?

Well, AY can only be used or found at the the end of a word.

Is this the end of a word?

[children boo] No, it is not.

So I have to use AI to make that A sound in the word paid.

Paid.

Let's make another word.

Do you know what this word says?

[children cheer] You do!

Let's sound it out together.

Wa A T. Wait, what's that word?

Wait!

Great job!

Let's build another word!

Pa L A. Pl A.

What's that word?

Play!

This is great!

This is so much fun!

Let's try one more word.

Do you know that word already?

I know a lot of you already do.

St, st A.

Stay!

Stay with me and play!

Great job.

Now we're ready to read some words together.

Today we are going to be reading 1, 2, 3, 4 lines of words, and then we're going to read a sentence with our target vowel teams in them.

Remember, before you read each line, let's take a moment to think about what we notice about the words in the column.

So let's look at the first row.

What's the same in all of the words?

That's right.

I see the AI and all of the words end in "nn" the letter N. So I know that every word is going to end in "ain."

Are you ready to read with me?

You read as loud as you can and I will read quietly with you.

Gain, main, pain, rain.

Great job!

Let's look at the second line.

What do all of those words have in common?

That's right, they all end in AY.

What does AY say again?

A.

That's right!

Let's read these words.

Bay, day, hay, jay.

Great job!

A jay is like a blue bird.

Let's look at this line.

See fail, fair, hail, hair.

It's a pattern!

Are you ready?

Fail, fair.

Hail, hair.

You guys are so good at this!

Let's look at our last line of text.

I see a Y in all of those words!

Tray, stray.

Oh, that's tricky.

Sway.

Say.

Good job!

Are you ready to read the sentence with me?

Send the mail on the train.

Did you know that that's how mail would get across the country?

You did?

You guys are so smart.

Are you ready to write a word with me?

You are?

Great!

Grab a pencil or something to write with and a paper or something to write on and meet me right back here.

[gentle music] Are you ready to write our word of the day?

[children cheer] Great!

The word of the day is chain.

Can you say that word?

Chain.

A chain is a type of necklace you might wear around your neck.

Chain.

Let's say all the sounds we hear in the word.

Ch A Nn.

Now I'd like you to write down the letters that match those sounds.

Go ahead and do that right now.

Oh, you used the right vowel team!

You used the right vowel team!

Did you write this?

Ch A N. AI because it's in the middle of the word.

Great job!

I had so much fun learning with you today.

Do you love to learn as much as I love to learn?

Great.

I'd like you to look for the vowel teams AI and AY in all the words you see this week.

Have a wonderful day friends!

See you soon!

Bye!
