Module 23: Long o: oa, ow, oe- Language Arts 1 - Course Guide

Module Overview:

In this module, students will explore the long o sound by identifying the vowel teams oa, ow, and oe, reading and decoding words containing these patterns, and constructing new words by blending, adding, deleting, or substituting sounds. They will build fluency by reading decodable sentences and independently reading a decodable book. Students will use context clues and interpret pictures to understand vocabulary and story events, make predictions, and analyze outcomes. They will also compare verbs with similar meanings and examine the experiences of characters in stories. In writing, students will learn to identify the parts of a friendly or thank-you letter, plan and construct a rough draft, revise for clarity, and edit for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. By the end of the module, students will be able to write a complete friendly letter or thank-you note, demonstrate comprehension of decodable texts, and apply long o word skills in reading and writing.
