Anticipatory Set (Lead-In):

Step-By-Step Procedures:

• Blending Strategy: 4 minutes
  
  • Connect: Write light. What do we know about reading this word? It has the long i sound. Today we will learn about words with the long i sound spelled ight.
    
  • Use Sound-Spelling Card: Display knight card. This is a knight. The sound you hear at the end of knight is /ĭ/. Say it with me: /ĭ/.
    
  • Model: Write might. The igh in this word stands for /ĭ/. This is how I blend this word. Segment and blend might. Let's blend this word together: /m/ /ĭ/ /t/, might.
    
  • Group Practice: Say each sound and blend the sounds together. Continue with flight, night, bright, fight, right.
    
• Bag that Word: 5-7 minutes
