• Look for Meaningful Word Parts: – As you say each word, ask yourself. Do I see any parts I know?

• Chunk words with No recognizable parts– Model how to chunk the word money to read it

• Model– I see a chunk at the beginning of the word: mon. I see a part at the end: ey. I say each

chunk slowly: mon ey. I say the chunks fast to make a whole word: money. Is it a real word? Yes, I know the word money.

• Read page 32– Do you see any of the words we just learned?

Word Work

Cap You can read this word because you know when a word has a consonant-vowel-consonant

pattern, this vowel usually stands for its short sound. What is the vowel sound? What is the word? Today we will read words with a consonant-vowel-consonant silent e pattern. In these words, the vowel stands for its long sound.

This is an apron. What sound do you hear at the beginning of apron? Say it with me: /a/. This is the long a sound.

This is an easel. What sound do you hear at the beginning of easel? Say it with me: /e/. This is the long e sound.

This is an ocean. What sound do you hear at the beginning of ocean? Say it with me: /o/. This is the long o sound.

This is an uniform. What sound do you hear at the beginning of uniform? Say it with me: /u/. This is the long u sound.

• Write the letter patterns:a_e

e_e i_e o_e u_eNow say each sound aloud, When you see a consonant-vowel-consonant-

silent e pattern in a word, remember that the vowel usually stands for its long sound.

• This is how I blend this word: /m/ /a//d/, made. Now you try: /m//a//d/. The letter a makes the long a sound. The letter e is silent.

Made

Model• This is a word with c followed by e. I know

that the letter c usually stands for the sound /s/ when followed by e, I, or y. This is how I blend this word: /s/ /e/ /n/ /t/. Let’s blend this word together: /s/ /e/ /n/ /t/.

VocabularyGoods are things for sale or exchange. The goods for sale in a hardware store include

tools. What goods are for sale in a clothing store? A swap is an exchange you make when you trade things. I made a swap of five pencils for one pen. Do you think a swap of one pencil for one pen would be fair? Explain.

Comprehension • Today you will read about a tribe of people who traded goods. When you read

the selection, it’s important to keep track of the sequence , or order of events because it may help you understand how the tribe made a trade. Sometimes, but not always, clue words tell when things happened: first, next, then, last.

• For example, if I read that first the tribe packed goods, I need to pay attention to the sequence to help me understand what the tribe packed goods. I need to pay attention to sequence to help me understand what the tribe did next.

• As you read, “ Tribes and Trades”, look for words that help you track the sequence of events that took place in making a tribe.

• (Possible graphic organizer: Add sequence words as you find them).

Tribes and Trades pages 38-45Before ReadingP38-41 The selection is about Native Americans who lived long ago. Native Americans

lived in tribes. A tribe is a community of families. Look at the tribe in the picture. Where did this tribe live? Why do you think they lived by a lake? Do you see things in these pictures that the tribe might trade with other tribes?

P. 42-45 What do you think the tribe is doing on p. 44?

During ReadingAs we read ask yourself: What am I learning about tribes and trades? What is this

mainly about? What did these tribes have to do in order to make a trade? What did you learn about the swap these tribes made?

After Reading What did you learn about tribes and trades? What was the selection mainly about?

(Model how to summarize). The selection told details about goods a tribe had and things it lacked. It was mainly about how tribes made trades for goods.
