[bright music] My name is Anna and I thought we could work with some sounds together.

Does that sound like fun?

Of course it does.

Okay, but before we get to our sounds of the day, yes, we have multiple sounds today, I wanna open up our ears and really get them working out and do something called onset fluency.

Now, what is that?

Big words, basically all I'm asking for is the onset or the initial or the beginning sound.

Look at that, three words that mean the same thing.

Onset, initial, beginning.

All right, so what am I actually asking you to do?

I'm going to say a word and I want you to tell me what is the first sound you hear in that word?

The onset.

So for example, if I said the word jacket, you would say jacket, j, because j is the first sound you hear in the word jacket.

Let's try another word.

I'm gonna model it again.

If I said the word measurement, you would say measurement, m. Because m is the first sound we hear in measurement.

All right, do you wanna try one?

Okay, how about the word yesterday?

Okay, so you said yesterday, y, awesome.

How about the word, ooh, victory.

Yeah, victory, v. Okay, let's try one more and then we'll get into our sounds for the day.

All right, what about the word history?

That's right, history, h, 'cause the first sound we hear in the word history is h. Excellent job.

Okay, now let's get into our sounds of the day.

So today, the reason we're actually working on multiple sounds is because they all kind of fall into the same family, right?

So just like in math, you have like your fact families because they kind of have the same numbers, you kind of mix all around.

Well, we're gonna be talking about this one specific glued sound group, okay?

Now we say they're glued because it's kind of like these three letters are smushed together to make one sound.

Even though they have individual sounds, they're just smushed together.

So we're gonna be working with these two letters, but we're gonna be adding a vowel sound with it, okay?

So our first glued sound is ank.

Can you repeat after me?

Say, "Ank, bank, ank."

Awesome, okay.

Now the next one, can you say, "Ink, pink, ink."

Okay, now for our next one, can you say, "Onk, honk, onk."

Good job, all right, last one.

Can you say, "Unk, junk, unk."

Awesome.

So if you noticed with our N-K, we added four different vowels.

We had our A-N-K, which says ank, repeat, ank.

We have our I-N-K, which says ink.

You got it.

We have our O-N-K, which says onk.

And then we have our U-N-K, which says unk.

Great.

Now what we're gonna do first is we're gonna work on writing some of these words using one of these or multiple of these glued sounds.

Okay, so let me erase this.

Okay, so I'm going to start with our b sound, and I wanna make the word bank.

Okay, so we have b ank.

What is the glued sound that says ank?

You said A-N-K.

So b ank, bank.

All right, let's try this next one.

I'm starting with, what sound does this letter represent?

Right, p. Okay, so I'm starting with the p and I wanna write the word pink.

So which glued sound do I need to write for pink?

That's right, I-N-K.

So we have p ink, pink.

Okay, let's try the next one.

I'm gonna start off with, what sound?

That's right.

Remember, I don't want the letter name, I don't want H, I want the sound.

So the sound is h. Now I wanna write the word honk.

So which glued sound do I need for honk?

Good, I need H-O-N-K.

So we have h onk, honk.

Okay, and our last one.

What sound does this letter represent?

That's right, this is the letter J and it represents j.

Okay, so the word I want is junk.

How would we spell the word junk?

Right, we would use the glued sound U-N-K.

So we have j unk, junk.

All right, great, let's try a couple more.

I'm gonna erase my board.

Okay, now I'm gonna start you off with a digraph.

So our T-H represents the th sound.

Okay, I want you to make the word thank.

Which glued sound would I need to use to turn my th into thank?

I would need A-N-K.

So I have th ank, thank.

Hmm, now how would I turn thank into think?

So using a different glued sound, hmm?

How would I turn thank into think?

Well, thank and think, both start with that same onset or beginning sound, right?

So I'm still gonna use my T-H for th, but now ink, th ink, which glued sound represented that ink sound?

Good, it was I-N-K.

So we have th ink, put it together, we have think.

Very nice, I love it.

Okay, what we're gonna do now is I'm gonna have you try to read some words.

So watch as they flash on the screen and I want you to break them up into that onset, so that beginning sound and the glued sound, and then blend it all together.

Try to blend and read each sound.

Ank, ink, onk, unk.

Read along with me.

S ink, sink.

Th ink, think.

You try the next few on your own.

Honk.

Sank.

Thank.

Last one.

Junk, awesome job.

Scholars, you did a fabulous job working with our glued sounds.

Let's review them one more time.

We have A-N-K, like bank, ank.

We have I-N-K, like pink, ink.

We have O-N-K, like honk, onk.

and we have U-N-K like junk, unk.

See if you come upon any of these glued sounds as you're reading books and see, does it help you read the word quicker?

Okay, well, until next time, friends, bye.
