Play the audio or model pronunciation and the words phone, graph, laugh, and cough. Have children practice making the sound and saying the words. Say: The letters ph can make the /f/ sound at the beginning or end of a word. The letters gh can only make the /f/ sound at the end of a word. Practice A • Identify consonant digraphs Model item 1. Review the sounds of both consonant digraphs. Say: Listen carefully. Each word you hear has the /f/ sound. How is that sound spelled? Play the audio or say the word elephant aloud. Ask: Which letters spell the /f/ sound you hear in elephant? (ph) The letters ph sound like /f/. The letters sh sound like /sh/. Point to or circle the ph in item 1. Play the audio and have children complete the activity. They should practice saying each sound and word aloud. SCRIPT: 1. elephant 2. tough 3. photo 4. rough Answers: 1. ph 2. gh 3. ph 4. gh B • Distinguish among phonemes Model the example. Say: You will hear two words. One word has the /f/ sound spelled ph or gh. Play the audio or say the words end and enough aloud. Ask: Which word has the /f/ sound: end or enough? (enough) Point to or circle the word enough. Ask: How is the /f/ sound spelled in enough? (gh) Play the audio and have children complete the activity. Answers: 1. laugh 2. phone 3. graph 4. tough Communicate C • Demonstrate knowledge of consonant digraphs Write ph and gh on the board. Say: Think of some words you know that have the /f/ sound spelled with these letters. Say the example words aloud, emphasizing the /f/ sound in each. Ask: What letters make the /f/ sound in photo? (ph) What letters make the /f/ sound in rough? (gh) Then have children brainstorm words and say what letters make the /f/ sound. Page P-55 Practice D • Listen for consonant digraphs Explain to children that they will hear seven sentences that make a paragraph. Say: Most of these sentences have at least one word with the /f/ sound spelled ph or gh. Listen carefully and find the words with the /f/ sound. Remind children to pay attention to spelling and look for words spelled with ph and gh. Play the audio or read the first sentence aloud. Ask: Which words have the /f/ sound? (nephew, alphabet) Point to or circle the words as you say them aloud. Play the audio and have children complete the activity. Point out that two sentences don’t have a word with the /f/ sound. Answers: nephew, alphabet, rough, enough, phonics, laughed E • Spell words with consonant digraphs Explain to children that they should look at the picture, name what it shows, and then use the letters to spell that word. Write the letters nepho on the board. Then point to the example and say: The example shows a phone. Play the audio or say phone aloud. Segment the word into individual sounds. Ask: What sounds do you hear in phone? (/f/ /ō/ /n/) What is the first sound in phone? (/f/) How do you spell that sound? (f, ph, gh) What letters do we have here that can spell that sound? (ph) Cross out the p and h in nepho and then write the letters ph on the board. Repeat the process for o, n, and e, crossing out the letters you hear and adding to the word you are making on the board. Review the CVCe spelling pattern, if necessary. Ask: How do you spell phone? (p, h, o, n, e) How is the /f/ sound spelled in this word? (ph) Then play the audio and have children complete the activity, naming the pictures, saying each word aloud, and unscrambling the letters to spell each word correctly. Answers: 1. photo 2. cough 3. sphere 4. trophy 5. laugh 6. tough
