Unit Overview:
In Unit 3, you will introduce five additional vowel sounds and the most common spelling for each sound:
/oo/ spelled ‘oo’ as in soon
/oo/ spelled ‘oo’ as in look
/ou/ spelled ‘ou’ as in shout
/oi/ spelled ‘oi’ as in oil
/aw/ spelled ‘aw’ as in paw
The sounds /oo,/ and /oo/ are both spelled ‘oo.’ Students will practice sounding out the tricky spelling ‘oo.’ A tricky spelling is a grapheme that can be pronounced more than one way.
Unit Calendar:
Unit 3 is 19 instructional days with 3 pausing points. It is recommended that it be taught from November 18th to January 7th.
Unit 3 includes an end-of-unit assessment in lesson 19. See our 1st Grade: EOU 3 Guide for an overview of the assessment, scoring, data analysis, and reteach resources.
