Lesson Plan: Unfamiliar Multisyllabic Words
Subject: ELA- Reading
Grade: 4
Lesson Objective: To read unfamiliar multisyllabic words in and out of context
Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.4.3.A- Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context.
Materials:
Starter:
Say:
- When you come to a word that you do not know when you are reading, what do you do? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
- We all find words that we do not know when we are reading. There are different ways that we can figure out a word that we do not know. You told me some great ways.
- We can ask someone to help us with the word. But, sometimes, you do not have anyone around who can help.
- You can sound the word out. You are reading books that are harder and longer now. Sounding out a word is not as easy as it used to be!
- You need to think about all of the different parts of the word. You should look to see if there is an ending, like a suffix. You should also look to see if there is a prefix.
- After you have looked for parts of the word that you recognize and know, you can look try to sound the rest of the word out.
- Try to figure out the syllables in the word and sound out each syllable. Then, put everything together and read the whole word.
- Now, you are going to be doing a worksheet so that you can practice reading difficult words. You will read the paragraph. There are words that are underlined in the paragraph, those are the difficult words.
- After you have read the whole paragraph and tried the hard words, you are going to find a partner and take turns reading the list of words at the bottom of the worksheet to each other.
- Does anyone have any questions?
Feedback:
Say:
- Who would like to share how to read the words? (Allow the students to share and go over the answers.)
