Hmm.

Hi friends!

It's Isabel and welcome to my learning corner!

Today I'm looking for shortcuts, ways that I can read something faster.

I thought of it!

Today, let's explore the shortcuts of glued sounds.

The glued sounds that I think that I wanna focus on are: ang, ing, ong, and ung.

Are you ready to explore some glued sounds with me?

Great!

Let's get started!

Before we get ready to build some words together, I'd like to get our ears ready to hear the glued sounds in words.

Today we're going to blend the first sound we hear, the onset, with the glued sound we hear or the rhyme, like this.

H-ang.

Hang!

Or s-ing.

Sing!

You got it!

Let's do a few more together.

R-ing.

Ring.

S-ong.

Song.

L-ung.

Lung!

Great job!

We're ready to do some reading.

Let's build some words!

Hi friends.

Before we start reading today, I wanted to talk to you about the shortcut I was looking for.

The shortcut are glued sounds.

Each of these letters will still make their sound, but because the vowel is followed by the N and the G, ng, it's kind of hard to hear all the sounds.

So the shortcut is just to remember that these three letters, when you see them in that combination, are going to say ang, like in fang.

These three letters are going to say... That's right, ing!

These three letters are going to say ong, and these three letters are going to say ung.

If we keep that in our mind, right, ang, ing, ong, ung, when we see words that have those glued sounds in them, then we can read them faster.

So let's try it with ang.

B-ang.

Bang.

[object thudding] Where did that come from?

The power of words.

R-ang.

What's the word?

Rang!

[bell ringing] Did you hear that?

How about if I took this and I made this word?

R-ing.

Ring.

Oh!

S-ing.

Sing!

[ethereal music] S-ong.

Aw.

H-ung.

Hung.

Like I hung those pictures a while ago.

Hung.

Are you ready to read some more words?

Let's go.

Let's read!

Think of our glued sounds for today.

Let's answer a question before we read.

What sounds do these letters make when you see them together?

Ang.

Ing.

Ong.

Ung.

Great job!

Now we're ready to read.

When the word appears on the screen, read it as fast as you can.

If you need to sound out the words as you read, that's fine.

Let's go!

[no audio] [no audio] Did you read all of the words correctly?

Song, fang, wing, sang, lung, king.

You're an awesome reader!

Now it's time to write.

Our last activity of the day is a dictation activity.

So before we get started, go ahead and grab a piece of paper or something to write on and a pencil or something to write with and come right back.

[bright music] Are you ready?

[children cheering] Great!

Today when we write, we're focusing on our glued sounds.

I want you to think about the first sound you hear and our glued sound that will follow it.

So the word we're gonna be writing today is long.

L-ong.

Let's think.

What are the letters that are going to spell that word?

L. Go ahead and write it.

Ong.

That's right.

Like in song.

Okay, is this what you wrote?

L-ong.

Long.

Great job!

Friends, you have been marvelous today.

And today and every day, I want you to be listening for glued sounds.

They're everywhere and they're a great shortcut to reading!

Until next time, see you later friends!
