[bright music] - Hi, friends.

Have you ever wanted to fly and just take a flight and go somewhere?

Where would you fly to?

Oh, wow.

Those are some really cool locations.

So, some of you would fly to New York, some would fly to Hawaii, someone wanted to fly to Tokyo.

Those are awesome locations.

Well, the words fly and flight both have our focus sound for today.

Listen, let's see if you can hear it.

Fly and flight.

What's the sound?

That's right.

Our focus today is the long I sound.

Now, before we get started with our long I work, let's get our ears ready, and let's play with some sounds.

Today, let's substitute words.

So, I'm gonna say a word like sunrise.

Then, I'm going to ask you to switch out or substitute a part of the word and then turn it into a new word, okay?

So, the word is sunrise.

If I ask you to change rise to set, what's the new word?

Well, sun, set, sunset would be the new word.

Sounds kind of cool, right?

Alright, let's try one more together.

How about baseball?

Repeat after me, baseball.

Good.

Now, change base to foot.

What's the new word?

That's right, foot, ball, football.

Okay, now it's your turn.

Say daydream.

Change dream to light.

What's the new word?

Daylight.

Say airplane.

Change plane to port.

What's the new word?

Airport.

How about this?

Say armchair.

Change chair to pit.

What's the new word?

Armpit.

How about say sunglasses?

Change glasses to flower.

What's the new word?

Sunflower.

Alright, now listen to this.

Say sunlight.

Change sun to flash.

What's the new word?

Flashlight.

Yeah, this time I changed the first part of the word.

Alright, last one.

Say eggshell.

Change egg to sea.

What's the new word?

Seashell.

Wonderful job.

Today, our focus is the long I sound, but there are lots of ways to spell that long I sound.

Today, we're only going to focus on two specific spellings.

Let's see if you can help me figure out the first spelling.

So, I'm gonna write some words on the board and I wanna see can you figure out which letter or letters are being used to spell the long I sound?

So, if I were to write the word...

Fly, and try, and my.

What letter or letters are representing the I sound in this word?

Bingo bango, that's right.

In this case, the Y is what is representing that I sound, okay?

So, usually, at the end of a one syllable word, you're gonna use that Y to represent that I sound.

So, let's spell some words together.

How would we spell the word by?

Like, I am sitting by the easel, right?

Or, the book is by the author.

How would we spell by?

Well, let's check it.

By, by.

So, what's that first sound?

"B".

Which letter represents that sound?

Good.

B represents the "b" sound.

And, in this case, what letter is going to represent the I sound?

That's right.

Y.

By.

Okay, how would we spell the word cry?

Cry.

So, stretch it.

Cry.

Cry.

Okay?

What's the first sound we hear in cry?

That's right.

"K".

Now, there are two letters that represent that sound that I know of.

Which one should I use?

So, usually, when it's a blend, most oftentimes it's going to be represented by the letter C, not the letter K. So, we're gonna start with that "k", okay?

So, remember the word was cry.

What's the next sound?

"Kr", "r".

Which letter represents the "r" sound?

R. Okay.

Cry.

Well, now how am I making that long I sound?

That's right.

R Y, cry.

Alright, let's try two more.

Now, this time let's use some of our digraphs.

And, that's when two letters represent that one sound together.

So, how would we write the word shy?

Shy.

So, stretch it.

"Sh".

Alright, what's the first sound in shy?

"Sh", okay?

Which letters represent that "sh" sound?

Good.

S H represents the "sh" sound, okay?

So, now turn "sh" into shy.

I'm gonna add our Y.

Shy.

Alright, last word where we're gonna focus on Y representing our I sound, and then we'll move on to the other spelling.

How would you spell the word why?

So, why.

Why.

And, remember, I gave you a hint telling you we were gonna be using a digraph.

So, W H represents that "w" sound, okay?

Why.

There we go, why.

Alright, let's read through these words before we go on to our next spelling.

Ready?

I'll read with you the first time and then you're on your own.

Here we go.

By.

Cry.

Shy.

Why.

Okay, you, by yourself.

What if I tried to challenge you?

What's the word?

What about this one?

Good job.

Okay, let me erase the board and then I'm gonna show you some other words that have a different way of spelling that I sound, okay?

Now, this long I sound, it's usually used in the middle, but you can also see it at the end of some words.

So, let's take a look at this and let's see if you can figure out the letter or letters that are representing the long I sound.

What if I said the word high?

Like, how high can you go?

What if I said the word light?

What if I use the word flight?

And, what if I use the word sigh?

Okay, what letter or letters are representing the long I sound in these words?

Ooh, you guys are so smart.

That's right.

You'll notice in this case, it's I G H working together to make that long I sound, okay?

So, high.

Light.

Light.

Flight.

Flight, okay?

And, sigh.

Sigh.

Alright, so let's practice spelling some of these words together, just like we did with the Y.

Okay, so the first word I want us to spell is sight, like you use your eyesight.

Okay, sight.

Sight.

Are you stretching it with me?

Yeah, I know you are.

Sight.

Alright, what's that first sound?

Right, "s".

Now, what's representing that first sound?

S. Okay, now say it again.

Sight, sigh.

What's the second sound?

I.

Now, how are we going to write that I sound?

That's right.

The three letters are I G H. Okay, the word was sight.

We have sigh, we need "t", sight.

That's right.

We're gonna put that T right there for sight.

Okay, let's try two more words and then we'll do a lightning round, okay?

Alright, how would we spell the word right, meaning my right hand, okay?

Or, the opposite of wrong is right?

How would we spell right?

Right.

I see you stretching.

I hear you.

Good.

Good.

Right.

Okay, so what's the first sound?

"R".

What letter represents that first sound?

R. "R", okay.

Right.

That's right.

Our I G H for our long I sound.

Right.

That's right, just like sight, it's ending with that "t" sound.

So, we're gonna use the letter T. Okay.

Now, how could I turn the word right into fright?

Woo, like to be scared.

Fright.

Okay, so stretch it.

Fright.

Fright.

Okay, what's the first sound in fright?

That's right, "f".

What letter represents that sound?

F. Now, if I didn't know how to spell the word right, let's pretend we didn't know how to do this yet, let's continue going through sound by sound, and see if we can figure out the rest of the spelling for the word fright, okay?

So, fright.

What's the second sound in fright?

And, even if you have to tap it, 'cause I know a lot of you like to tap at school, so fright.

That's another great strategy for breaking up the word.

So, "fr", okay?

So, what's making that "r" sound?

That's right, R. Okay, now, "fri".

So, we're gonna use one of our new spellings for that long I sound.

Which one?

Y, I G H, Y, I G H. I G H, okay?

Alright, fright.

What's that last sound?

That's right, "t".

And, it's represented by the letter... You guys are so good at this, T, fright, okay?

Let's read the three words together.

Sight, right, fright.

This time, you, by yourself.

Amazing job, scholars.

You did such a great job working with our long I sound today, spelled either Y or I G H. Keep looking around for those words in books that you're reading.

See if you can find that Y making the I sound and the I G H representing that long I sound.

Well, until next time, friends.

Bye.
