Phonics for year 3: Phonics for 3rd Grade | NC DPI

Phonics for 3rd Grade | NC DPI

What is Phonics?

Phonics refers to the ability to learn the individual sounds in spoken language and map those sounds to specific written letters in the English language. Students who have strong phonics skills are able to connect individual sounds with letters and use those sounds to read words. (Definition from University of Oregon)

In 3rd grade, readers will be able to read multisyllabic and irregularly spelled words. They will know the 6 syllable types and be able to apply them when they are breaking words down. Third graders can apply word analysis skills to read grade appropriate words, including using the meaning from common Greek and Latin roots and affixes.

What Does it Look Like?

What is phonics and why is it important for your child to read?

Practice Activities

Looking for the Smaller Words: Help look for smaller words the child knows when they come to a word that is unfamiliar. This can help the child decode the unfamiliar word. For example, if the child comes to the word “exclaimed”, help them cover the “ex” and ”ed” revealing only “claim». Next, cover “claim” and work to decipher the other parts. Once they know each part, put the word back together and read.

Change the Meaning with Prefixes and Suffixes (Affixes): Notice when you or the child comes to a word with a prefix or suffix and pause to discuss it. Isolate the word and break it down into the base word and prefix or suffix (e. g., nonfiction is «non» and «fiction»). Talk about the meaning of the base word and the prefix or suffix (e.g., “non” means not and “fiction” means invented or imagined). Talk about how the meaning of the word changes when combined (e.g., nonfiction means not imagined). Think of other words that have the same suffix or prefix and guide your child to look for patterns in spelling and meaning. Access a list of common prefixes and suffixes here.

Making New Words: Use small pieces of paper or index cards to jot down a collection of base words (words in their simplest form) and common prefixes and suffixes. Take turns selecting a base word and then a prefix or suffix to create a new word. See how many different combinations you each can make. Discuss the meaning of each new word as they are made. Optional printable materials can be found here.

Sharing Our Writing: Consider connecting the child with a relative or pen-pal as a meaningful opportunity to practice their writing skills. This could be through email or hand-written letters. Encourage the child to add descriptive words throughout and to incorporate new vocabulary they have been learning.

Practice Activities (with Printables)

If you don’t have a printer, your child’s school will print these for you.

Spell and Sort with Vowel Digraphs: Use this sorting activity to identify vowel digraphs.  Access printable materials here: Spell and Sort (ai, ay, ea, ee, oa, ow, and ui), Spell and Sort (ea, oa, ai, ay, oo).

Syllable Share: Play this game to make multiple words with the same syllable.  Syllable Share

Map a Word: Describe that each box represents each sound (not letter) in a word.  Have the child say each sound in a word and then write each sound in one box.  Watch Map a Word.  Map a Word

Silent Letters: Show the child a word with a silent letter (e.g., comb) and explain the b is silent because we do not hear its sound.   Read more words and have the child sort the words according to whether or not there is a silent letter.  Watch Silent Letters.  Silent Letters

Syllable Scoops: Have the child segment and sort words according to how many syllables there are.  When applicable, discuss root words, prefixes, and suffixes.  Syllable Scoops

Word Spinner: Combine two word parts to make new words.  Then, determine if the word is a real word or a nonsense word.  Spinners can be made by placing the point of a pencil in a paperclip if brads are unavailable.  Another option is to cut each of the sounds individually and use as cards.  Word Spinner

Online Activities

Rough Riders: This game has players track down diamond thieves while practicing digraphs, vowel sounds, compound words, and syllables.

Lesson 1. We repeat phonetics. Grade 3

Lesson 1. Repeating phonetics

Objectives:

1. Consolidate knowledge of phonetics

2. Improve the ability to compare the letter notation of words with the notation using transcription.

Lesson progress

I Calligraphy.

Ruler, pencil case, book\\school, floor, wall

— Guys, choose two lines that you would like to work on. Write neatly, cleanly, beautifully.

Students choose two lines to write at will

II .Repetition of the studied material.

1. Conversation on the questions:

— Do you remember what phonetics studies? (The sound side of speech .; Phonetics is a section of linguistics that studies the sounds of speech and the sound structure of the language (syllables, sound combinations, patterns of connecting sounds in a speech chain).

-What does the word «phonetics » mean? .words phone , which means «sound»)

— What did we learn from this section in 2nd grade?

Teacher writes student answers on the board .

Speech sounds, stress, syllable, vowels and consonants, voiceless and voiced consonants, stressed and unstressed vowels, written designation of speech sounds.

-What do you remember about the number of vowels and letters? ( Vowels, i.e. letters denoting their eye sounds -10. Eye sounds -6). Look at the correct answer written on the board.

— What letters can represent {a}?

-What letters can {o}{i} be denoted by?

-What conclusion can you draw about the number of vowels and letters?

-What sound can the letter -я- ? (a, ya)

-What can you tell about consonants? (sounds 36, letters 21) Confirm your answers based on the table in the textbook (exercise 3. )

— Everything in the language has a sound expression. Doctors, speech therapists, teachers need phonetics, so it is no coincidence that schooling begins with letters and sounds.

It is known that there are 42 sounds (phonemes) in the Russian language, and 33 letters. This means that the relationship between sounds and letters is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. This will be told by the speech sounds themselves.

-You already know that written speech cannot exactly copy oral speech. We hear sounds, but we write letters. do not end. One, for example, the letter «B» works hard for himself and for others, denoting as many as four sounds. Who will show how it happens?

— This is confirmed by the following examples: storm (b), battle (b ‘), bread (p), fraction (n ‘).

-You already know that sounds and letters live in different realms: sounds live in the realm of what we hear, and letters live in the realm of what we see. as if he puts clothes on sounds in the form of letter icons. The one who acts on the contrary: translates visible signs into sounding words. Let’s look at how this happens?

3. Comparison of the alphabetic recording of words with the recording of words using transcription.

The word of the field is written on the board.

Teacher-One student claims that in this word all vowel sounds are the same. How is it? After all, there are no identical letters here. What do you think?

Words are written on the board as they sound in speech with the help of transcription.

[athot],[atgadat’],[patshutit’]

Teacher: Isn’t it better not to write the way you hear it? Pronounce the words the way you would write them correctly.( Departure, guess, play a joke)

4. Articulation gymnastics.

Say the tongue twister 5-7 times (Archip osIp, and Osip ohrIp)

Fizminutka

5. Work with the heading «Let’s think» 900 03

The words are written on the blackboard.
Sorrel, bird cherry, elk, squirrel, worm, yogurt, wild rose, cabin boy, beetle, heron, pike, nimble, eccentric

Task: sort the words into groups: Problem!

1) Words that begin with a solid unpaired consonant: elk, heron.

2) Words that begin with a soft unpaired consonant sound: yogurt, yunga, eccentric, pike, bird cherry, sorrel, worm

3) Words that did not fall into any of these groups: wild rose, beetle, smart, squirrel.

Three students on the blackboard, and the rest in notebooks, complete the task with proof

6. Exercise 4 with commentary (textbook).

Task: write down the transcription of two pairs.

Les- (l’es)-les-(l’es)

Sadness-(sad’)-breast-(sadness’)

-Why do pairs of words have the same transcriptions?

( Spelling of consonants at the root of the word; this spelling must be checked)

III. Total of the lesson.

-What does phonetics study?

Why study phonetics?

What did we review today in the lesson?

How many vowel sounds and letters are there in Russian?

— How many consonant sounds and letters are there in Russian? What are the more consonant sounds or consonant letters?

Homework: complete exercise 4 in the textbook.
