Great question! No ENGLISH word ends in i. However, many English words have been adopted by other languages. So, the word "hi" comes from a Native America language. "Spaghetti" is Italian. This is a generalization that explains the spelling of many English words, but our language does have many other influences.

I use these cards when I introduce a new vowel team. Because vowel teams are complicated, we use these cards to review daily as well. These cards are first introduced in the Google Slide deck for introduction, then this is used to review. readingrev.com/favorite-online-links-list

You can also do the first year without the notebook! Just get into a daily routine with the Google slides and student practice pages, then add the notebook when you have that part down! Once you get into it, you’ll see how systematic it is and will make teaching reading and spelling easier!! Good luck!

The OG Lesson plan template and beginning scope and sequence are both in the Free Resource Library! There are not individual lessons but you can use that instructional routine with all the phonemes. readingrev.com/resource-library

Yes! It's in the Reading Rev program and VIP site (along with 250+ other structured literacy resources for intermediate grades!)

@@ReadingRev Thank you!! Is this a paid/subscription site?

OH found the site, thank you!

@@kimberlyveigulis7780 Yes, it's $9.99 per month, but you can also buy it on Reading Rev's TpT

All the phonics and spelling cut outs go into Phonics! 😊

@@ReadingRevIt is still unclear in terms of: Do you add each kind of phonemes in a separate section (your example seems to have all the phonemes on 2 pages, adding them as you teach them which provides as a quick reference page. Where do the small syllable division cards (with the sayings) go? A quick video just flipping through each page (no narrative neededed even) just to get an idea of where things go would be extremely helpful. As an example of someone’s frustration, in unit 9 it says to add the ending blends cutout to the closed syllable page in the everything reading notebook. This is confusing because there is no room to put this on the same page because the phonetic pattern glue in with one syllable words is on one page and the syllable rule (for 2 syllable word practice is on the 2nd page). So confused but a reference video would quickly solve a confusion.

No tabs for the folder, just the notebook! :)

Thanks for your kind words... What a great thought that those amazing pioneers would be proud!

Yes, "you" is an irregular word. This is a pattern generalization used to help students know that 99.9% of English Words do not end in the letters i, j, u, or v. Here's the etymology that explain it: You is a true irregular word because it ends is u! It's derived from Middle English- "ye" or "þou" (þ being the Old English letter thorn, pronounced like "th" in "this"). "Ye" was the subject form, and "þou" was the object form. During the Early Modern English period, there was a movement towards standardizing English spelling. The spelling "you" emerged as the standard way to represent the pronoun, reflecting its evolving pronunciation and replacing older forms like "ye" and "þou." Feel free to say "most" English words... if you prefer. :)

Sometimes you can tell by location. In this case, open a can only be in the first syllable (ba-by), ai is used in the beginning or middle of a syllable (aid, maid), ay is only at the end of a syllable (may, stay), it gets tricky knowing when to use a_e vs ai. In many cases, either can be used and you just have to practice with words to start to know/orthographically map them. They can also be spelled both ways but have different meanings (maid/made).

Thanks... I have learned the meaning of this word since making this video. 😯

Know better, do better. In the moment, I didn’t think it was a real word. It’s impossible to be perfect all the time… even for our students! There isn’t a way for me to edit this video. I’m planning on remaking this video in the future but until then, please extend grace. 😊

"Poem" isn't actually using the oe vowel team. It's an example of the "lion syllable" where two vowels are side-by-side but aren't representing one sound. Other examples are neon, riot, duet, trial, and quiet. You can watch the video about this pattern here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2ezeWODi69po7M

Hi Lisa, "One will run" just gives students a place to start with dividing syllables. The first syllable is often left with an open vowel which is long (ti-ger). About 25% of the time, this doesn't work and the vowel is unstressed and short (cam-el). We can still use this division strategy to divide syllables that have other vowel teams and diphthings (Au-gust). It works as long as your students know that the letters au together, represent the /au/ sound, not short or long a. I hope that helps!

It does; that’s why it’s considered an irregular or heart word. There are usually an exception or two that can be explained by etymology or word origin. :)
