Have children point to the diphthong in each. Then have them read each word, say the vowel sound, and name the letters that spell the sound. Page P-89 Explore and Learn Consonant: Final -s • Recognize words with final -s Write the letter s on the board. Say: This is the letter s. When the letter s is at the end of a word, it can make two different sounds. Point to the first row of pictures and say: Listen to these words: hats, books, cats. Have children repeat. What sound do you hear at the end of each word? (/s/) Repeat with the second row of words. Say: Now listen to these words: eggs, girls, dogs. Have children repeat. What vowel sound do you hear at the end of each word? (/z/) All these words end with the letter s, but it is pronounced /s/ in some words and /z/ in others. Play the audio and have children practice saying the sounds and words. Practice A • Recognize inconsistent sound-spelling correspondences Model item 1. Play the audio or say boys aloud, emphasizing the final /z/ sound. Ask children to listen and repeat. Say: I hear the /z/ sound at the end of boys. Then point to and circle z. Have children do the same in the book. Play the audio and have children complete the activity, saying the words aloud.

It is missing the letter for the ending sound. What letter is missing? How is it pronounced? Play the audio or say books aloud. Say: The ending sound /s/ is missing. The letters s makes that sound.
