  1. Just Words Review Unit 1

  2. About English: • Every human community has a language, or a way to speak to each other with understanding • The first systems of writing began thousands of years ago, dating back to 6,600 B.C.

  3. The oldest forms of writing based on pictures are called: • Logographics • A logogram is a single written symbol which represents a word or idea.

  4. Can you name some other logograms?

  5. Who still uses logograms today? • The Chinese use many logograms • The first know alphabet was made by the Egyptians. They made symbols that matched some of their sounds. These symbols were called….. • Hieroglyphs

  6. How many letters do we use in English? • You guessed correctly! 26 letters • These letters are used to represent ALL words! • In our alphabetical writing system, these letters represent sounds, not words, and these sounds are put together to make hundreds and HUNDREDS of WORDS!!!

  7. SOUND CARDS

  8. Remember: • Some letters are called consonants: • b, d, m, n, p • Some letters are called vowels: • a, e, i, o, u

  9. Keywords • Keywords help us to remember the sound a letter makes. • The keyword for “g” is • You got it! GAME HINT: Look back at the keyword pages in your binder anytime to help yourself remember the sounds.

  10. “qu” • In this unit we learned that “q” is the only letter in English that will not be in a word by itself. It always needs to bring along the letter “u”. • Together, “qu” says /kw/ as in queen.

  11. VOWELS are MOST Important! • Why? • Because EVERY word and EVERY syllable needs a VOWEL!

  12. “Tapping out Words” • Tapping out words helps us to blend sounds to make words. It also helps us to figure out words we’ve never seen before!

  13. Try tapping out a few words: • vim • wax • quit • yen

  14. High Frequency Words • These are the words used most in English writing. They are the most “Common” or “Frequent”. • Some of them are phonetic, but many of them don’t follow the sound system. • Can you name some? • they, is, was, have, are, one, of

  15. How do we learn “High Frequency” Words? • by sight or memorization, instead of sounding them out • It’s important to learn these words automatically. • Remember, High Frequency Words are Rule Breakers!

  16. What is a phonetic word? • A phonetic word is a word that can be sounded out. The sounds are put together to form the word. • met, Pat, hid, wig are all phonetic words

  17. Scoop the Phrase • We “scoop the phrase” with our fingers as we read. • Why do we do this? • It helps us to group words together correctly in order to make meaning.

  18. Scooping Challenge • Try scooping phrases in this sentence: • Did they mix the paint yet? • Sometimes the teacher may say, “Phrase It” for this activity.

  19. What’s the Scoop? • Tom hit his shin on the dock. • They have such a posh shop.

  20. Demonstration Words • “Demo” words are words that “demonstrate” or show the word structure we’re studying. • In Unit 1 we learned 3 sound words • “Gap” is in the Demo Word section of your binder because it is a 3 sound word.

  21. Vocabulary Section in Binder • 4 easy steps: • Copy demo word • Copy quick, easy definition • Copy sentence to understand • Draw a picture to help remember the word

  22. Digraphs • Consonants that “stick together” to form one sound even though they are two letters are called digraphs. • That is why they are on one card. • Here are the digraph cards: • wh, ch, th, sh and ck

  23. More about Digraphs • Most digraphs can come at the beginning or end of a word. • Digraph “wh” is only found at the beginning of a word. • Digraph “ck” is only found at the end of a word.

  24. Marking Words • Whenever a digraph is in a word, you can identify it by underlining it with one line. • chip • The single line reminds us that it has one sound.

  25. High Frequency Words we’ve learned so far in Unit 1… • have • from • of • are • they • is • was • the

  26. What are digraphs? • Yes! Two letters with one sound. • sh, ch, th, wh and ck

  27. Which digraph is only found at the beginning of words? • wh Which digraph is only found at the end of words? • ck

  28. Mark the words • p o sh • r a sh • wh i z

  29. Nonsense Words • A nonsense word is not a real word, but it helps us apply sounds, since we’ve never seen them before or learned by memory. • l i sh • A nonsense word like “lish” will be useful when reading longer words like… • p u b l i sh

  30. More about Nonsense Words • We can “tap out” nonsense words to read them or spell them. • Try these: • thib • vup • lex

  31. Every Day 10 of a Unit means • Dictation Test Time! • You will be asked to write • Sounds • Words (Real and Nonsense) • Phrases • Sentences

  32. Congratulations! • That’s all for Unit 1
