The /ee/ Sound
“Can you recall the spelllings of the /oa/ sound? Use the key sentence to help you remember how to write them on the dry erase board. Today we’re going to learn a new sound and its spellings. Let’s read some words that have the /ee/ sound. Can you say /ee---/? Notice how the key /ee/ sentence below can help us remember the main spellings for /ee/. ‘He sees many of these each year.’ Write 1 word at a time
on a dry erase board or point to the list on this page. If you use a dry erase board, use a different color to represent the /ee/ sound. Help student to use Blend As You Read method. Ask her to decide where that spelling of the /ee/ sound belongs. Finally, student should write the word in the relevant column while saying each sound as she writes.

The /ee/ Sound
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
And can’t tell where to find them;
Leave them a lone,
And they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails
behind them.

The /ee/ Sound
people People /p/ /ee/ /p/ /l/ “Look at all the people!”
“Notice this unusual spelling of /ee/ in ‘people’ (tap the ‘eo’ spelling).”
[T]his nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom—
and that government of the people,
by the people,
for the people,
shall not perish from the earth.
From a Famous Speechby President Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
“What /ee/ spellings can you recall? Write them on the dry erase board. Remember the key sentence?” “How about the /oa/ sound spellings? Now we’re going to learn a word that has a strange letter “e” spelling.”
President Lincoln had a tremendous influence on the United States when it was a young country
--when we were still trying to figure out how to have a democracy. A democracy is a government
where the people vote for their leaders—-not like a country that has a king or one that has a
tyrant—one who rules everything himself. Lincoln made this expression that describes our democracy
famous—-“of the people, by the people, for the people.”
--“Gettysburg Address”

Read It
This is harder because there are so many words and because of words with adjacent consonants at the beginning, such as “creek” and “stream.” These tricky consonants make using Blend As You Read especially important. Also, you may choose to read aloud the story first before your student tackles it.
The Creekby Laurie Newell
My mom and I get in the van to go to the creek. We meet my pal Steve and his mom.
We leave the van on the street and go on a path in a field. The path leads to a small stream.
We go on the path by the stream to the creek.
We stop to swim. It is deep here. The water is

Our moms call us to eat. We have meat on buns and chips. We each get a peach. We have cold tea.
I feel sad to leave, but I had a happy day!
The End
