The document outlines a lesson plan focused on teaching letter sounds and word structure, including the introduction of digraphs. Students will participate in activities such as using magnetic journals and completing a 'do now' exercise to practice naming letters and decoding words. The objective is for students to become proficient in pronouncing and understanding letter-sound relationships by the end of the lesson.

7. You did a fantastic job setting up your magnetic journals …HIGH FIVES!!!And we will always work in this order in four segments.Our word for the day is: gap- We call it a Demonstration WordDemonstration Words are words that demonstrate the word structure we are studying today

8. Today we are just looking at 3 letter-sound word and gap is the word that demonstrates this.

9. Which letter does the word gap begin with?

10. Which row is the letter g in?I DO: (3min) CLOSE

15. Examples:chopduckthudwhipTap the words

16. Spell them in magnetic journalsIn Just Words we mark words to help us understand the structure.We underline the digraph.Why?MARKING
