Learning Coach Notes:

Lesson #	Lesson Title	Notes
1	30.1 R-controlled ur	This week, students will add the ur grapheme to their knowledge base to spell the /ir/ sound. While reading, have your learner point out words with this spelling pattern. It is important to also review other patterns that students have learned to make the /ir/ sound: ir and er. If your learner is struggling, write each phoneme on a separate piece of paper. Keeping the ur phoneme together can be a visual reminder to read the letters as one sound. If your learner has easily mastered this pattern, encourage them to build two-syllable words with the pattern.
2	30.2 R-controlled ur	Students will practice decoding words with the r-controlled ur. In this lesson, guide your learner to draw their own conclusions about the vowel teams. In the spelling and Words of the Week lists, point out spellings that don’t fit regular patterns, like in the words two and nurse.
3	30.3 R-controlled ur	In this lesson, students will practice decoding words with the r-controlled ur and review the er and ir letter pairs that make the same /ir/ sound. Reinforce with your learner the idea that the letters work together to make one sound. It is also helpful to sound out the /or/ and /ar/ sounds and to have your learner distinguish between them. Students will also practice summarizing stories in this lesson.
4	30.4 R-controlled ur	Students will manipulate sounds in words with r-controlled ur letter pairs. Reinforce with your learner the importance of finding the vowel team first before attempting to decode a word. The ability to add and delete sounds helps students recognize word families and to apply these strategies to unfamiliar words. Students will also practice reading words fluently, which requires repeated readings. Guide your learner to choose only pertinent details during the Stretch-A-Sentence activity.
5	30.5 R-controlled ur	When reading simple sentences with decodable words, encourage your learner to read the sentence multiple times until they become fluent. Breaking the sentence into phrases for them can make the task more manageable. During the first activity, if your learner struggles with ur words with suffixes, break the word into its parts for them to see if they are able to rhyme the base words. Then, they can add the ending and find the rhyming word.
