Let’s Read
Unit I Short a and i Word Families
Lesson 1 -an, -ab Word Families
5. Invite students to provide other -an
words; add these to the second column.
You may want to provide hints for other
words in the word family, such as, “This is
something that cools us off. It starts with
f.” (fan) Finally, ask students to identify
other words from the poem that they fi nd
interesting. Write these words in the third
column. Instruct students to be on the
lookout for additional words for the chart.
This chart can become a word wall. You
and the students can read the words
on the chart in unison, by taking turns
(boys, girls, by shirt color, table number,
etc.), in a whisper or silly voice, or by
echo-reading.
6. Direct students back to page 4 in the
Guided Practice Book. Depending on
students’ needs, work with the class or a
small group, or have students work with
partners to complete the activity.
Answers
Words circled in the poem: Jan, Dan,

breakfast, school, or students may have
inserted their own words to create an
original poem.
Jan and Dan
Diddle diddle dumpling, Jan and Dan
Cooked their breakfast in a frying pan.
Ran to school with their good friend Stan,
Diddle diddle dumpling, Dan and Jan.
1. Direct students to page 4 in the Guided
Practice Book. Show the poem on
Transparency #1. (The poem is also
shown above.)
2. Read the poem two times. Have
students point at the words while you
read. Then invite the students to read
with you by supplying the last word in
each sentence. For example, you say,
“Diddle diddle dumpling, Jan and ____,”
and students say, “Dan.”
3. Write the word family -an on the board.
Say it and then ask students to say it
with you. Next, reread the poem line
by line. At the end of each line, ask
students to fi nd -an words. Scaffold as
necessary. For example, you could tell
students how many -an words are in a
particular line, and have students fi nd
them.
4. Create a chart with three columns.
Label the columns with the following
titles: -an words from the poem, other
-an words, and interesting words from
the poem. Write the -an words from
the poem in the fi rst column. Ask the
students to spell the words as you write
them on the chart. Write the words in
the column so the letters in the word
family are aligned.

Part B:Let’s Playwith Words
1. Reread the poem from Part A. Draw students’ attention to the -an words that were circled. Then write the -an words in a list on the board or on a transparency. Write the words in a column so the letters in the word family are aligned. Then mask the onset (the initial consonant sound), word by word. Ask students to say the rime (the vowel and any following consonants within the syllable). Then provide the onset, and ask students to say the word. For example, with the word Jan: • Cover the J. Ask students to say, “-an.” • Then reveal the J. Ask students to say, “Jan.” • Say, “If we add J to -an, we get Jan.” • Say, “Okay, let’s do it again. (Cover the J.) What is this? (Students say, “-an.” Then reveal the J.) And what’s this?” (Students say, “Jan.”) • Repeat the cycle with other -an words.
2. Display Transparency #2. Talk students through the examples. Say, “What is this? (Point to the fi rst picture.) What letter can we add to -an to make this word?” Continue with the remaining examples.
3. Direct students to page 5 in the Guided Practice Book. Depending on students’ needs, work with the class or a small group, or have students work with partners to complete the activity. Answers 1. man 2. can 3. fan 4. van 5. pan

Standards and Correlations
The No Child Left Behind legislation
mandates that all states adopt academic
standards that identify the skills students
will learn in kindergarten through grade 12.
While many states had already adopted
academic standards prior to NCLB, the
legislation set requirements to ensure the
standards were detailed and comprehensive.
Standards are designed to focus instruction
and guide adoption of curricula. Standards
are statements that describe the criteria
necessary for students to meet specifi c
academic goals. They defi ne the knowledge,
skills, and content students should acquire
at each level. Standards are also used
to develop standardized tests to evaluate
students’ academic progress.
In many states today, teachers are required
to demonstrate how their lessons meet state
standards. State standards are used in
the development of all of our products, so
educators can be assured that they meet
the academic requirements of each state.
Teacher Created Materials is committed to
producing educational materials that are
research and standards based. In this effort,
we have correlated all of our products to
the academic standards of all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and the Department of
Defense Dependent Schools. You can print
a correlation report customized for your state
from our website at http://www.tcmpub.com.
If you require assistance in printing
correlation reports, please contact Customer
Service at 1-800-858-7339.
Teacher Created Materials uses the Mid-
continent Research for Education and
Learning (McREL) Compendium to create
standards correlations. Each year, McREL
analyzes state standards and revises the
compendium. By following this procedure,
they are able to produce a general
compilation of national standards.
Each lesson in this book is based on one or
more McREL content standards. The chart
on the following page shows the McREL
standards that correlate to each lesson.
To see a state-specifi c correlation, visit the

Tips for Implementation
1. Keep the instructional goals in mind.Building Vocabulary has two broad goals: 1) to increase students’ knowledge of words, particularly those words they need to be successful in school and; 2) to deepen their knowledge about words so that students have strategies to fi gure out the meaning of many new words on their own. 2. Make sure to read the “Teacher Notes” section for each new lesson.
This section provides the background information you need to teach the lesson. In levels one and two a list of words for each word family is provided. In levels three and up, information is given to help teach Greek and Latin roots. The teacher notes section provides a wealth of interesting information and ideas for you to use with students. Each week there are also suggestions for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. It is important for children to feel successful, so use the suggestions and feel free to adapt them to meet your students’ needs.3. Develop regular routines with activities that scaffold increasingly independent learning. Although the program gives day-to-day activities in a quick and regular routine, you should feel free to modify or adapt the program to meet your own particular instructional needs. The key is to make your instruction a regular routine that gets students to think deeply about the word families or roots. Plan to spend 10-15 minutes each day on vocabulary.
4. Try to fi nd time for students to explore words with others. Many of the activities in “Building Vocabulary” can be completed with partners or in small groups. Some specifi cally invite students to work together. When students complete an assignment with others, they have a chance to try out new words and talk about how they “work.” Remember that games like “Wordo” and “Word Spokes” are not just fun––they are good instruction!
5. Keep the learning outcomes in mind. By the end of the program, your students’ should have 1) learned the meaning of some of the most common word roots in the English language; 2) understood how to apply those meanings to “divide and conquer” unfamiliar words; 3) deepened their “word awareness.” Above all, we hope your students will have become independent word sleuths and lifelong word lovers! 6. Keep the focus on thinking about the roots or word families, not on memorizing particular words.
Students need to become convinced that they have knowledge and processes to fi gure out the meanings of words. Roots can help here because prefi xes and bases represent familiar concepts (un = not; pre = before; graph = write). Word families help students see spelling patterns for many words. As students fi gure out the meaning of new words, ask them “What do you think? Why?” rather than “What’s the right answer?” Remember that the most effective way to teach vocabulary is not through mindless repetition or memorization.

Components of the Building Vocabulary Kit
A3© Teacher Created Materials #12731 (i3962)—Building Vocabulary: Foundations
Parts A and C (Let’s Read)—You and the students enjoy shared reading activities through poems that introduce new word families. As you read each poem aloud, you model fluent reading. After choral, echo, and/or antiphonal (students divided into groups) reading, you lead a whole-group discussion that highlights the new word families. You and the students also generate lists of words, from the poems and elsewhere, that contain the word families.
Parts B and D (Let’s Play with Words)— You and the students review the poems, and then you guide students as they play with words, scaffolding their understanding through think-alouds and other activities, such as Making and Writing Words, Word Sort, Word Scramble, Riddle Time, Divide and Conquer, and Wordo.
Part E (Let’s Grow)—The students will enjoy teacher-led word games as they review the words and concepts for the week.
How to Use This Program
The following provides a more detailed overview of the various components of this program, including the differentiated, five-part lessons, the Assessment section, the Teacher Resources section, and the Teacher Resource CD. Each component offers support for the entire program, making students’ word learning meaningful and fun.
Lesson Overview:Each lesson in the Teacher’s Guide contains Teacher Notes that include a list of grade-appropriate words for the word families studied in that lesson. The Guided Practice section provides minis of the corresponding student book pages for your reference. Differentiation points you to the notes provided at the beginning of each unit that outline differentiation suggestions for the classroom; this allows you to adjust the lessons to meet the needs of all your students, including below-level students, above-level students, and English language learners. Parts of lessons are labeled A through E. Parts A and C are similar, except that they focus on different word families. Likewise, Parts B and D are similar. Part E is based on both word families presented in the weekly lesson. (Read on for more detailed explanations of each lesson part.) The focus of all lessons is on helping students master common word families so that they can, in turn, use this knowledge to decode unfamiliar words. Overhead transparencies are included for each lesson to assist you with classroom instruction and practice (see Teacher Resources section for transparencies).
