|Course: |Fundations/ Word Study – Grade 2 |

|Written By: |Maryann Schaper |

|Under the Direction of: |Gretchen Gerber |

| |

|Description: |Fundations provides children of varying learning abilities with a foundation for reading and spelling. Students will be instructed using a structured, sequential, and cumulative phonics/spelling program using multisensory |

| |teaching techniques. |

| |Curriculum Highlights: |

| |Segment syllables into sounds (phonemes) – up to 6 sounds; Identify word structures such as vowels, consonants, blends, digraphs, digraph blends; |

| |Identify parts of words (syllables, basewords, suffixes); Identify all six syllable types: closed, vowel-consonant-e, open, r-controlled, vowel ; digraph/diphthong, consonant-le; Read and spell words with: short vowels, |

| |long vowels in vowel-consonant-e and open syllables, |

| |r-controlled vowels (ar, er, ir, or, ur); vowel teams (ai, ay, ee, ey, ea, oi, oy, oa, ow, oe, ou, oo, ue, ew, au, aw); |

| |Read and spell words with unexpected vowel sounds (old, ild, ind, ost, olt, ive); |

| |Read and spell words with s, es, ed, ing, est, ish, able, ive, y, ful, ment, less, ness, ly, ty suffixes; |

| |Read and spell phonetically regular one-, two- and three-syllable words; Read and spell targeted high-frequency,non-phonetic words; |

| |Divide multisyllabic words; Write clear, legible manuscript at an appropriate rate |

| |Spell words with options for the grapheme representation for sounds with use of a spell checker or dictionary |

| |Apply correct punctuation (period, question mark, exclamation point); Apply capitalization rules for beginning of sentences and names of people; |

| |Read controlled stories with fluency, expression and understanding; Read approximately 90 words per minute with fluency and understanding; |

| |Construct sentences using vocabulary words; Use synonyms, know some multiple meaning words, and apply dictionary skills; |

| |Retell facts from expository text; Locate facts and details in narrative and expository writing; |

| |Skim for information; Make judgments, predictions from given facts |

| | |

|Unit Description and Objectives: |

|In Unit 6, students will review Vowel-Consonant-e that they were taught in Fundations Level 1. Review the two long u sounds as in mule and tube. Also, you can teach that s can say /z/ when it is between two vowels as in the word nose. Students will learn |

|an exception to the vowel-consonant-e syllable. This exception, |

|-ive can also be a suffix. It is pronounced with a short I sound, instead of the expected long sound. |

CURRICULUM MODIFICATION

The regular curriculum is modified for Special Education students enrolled in both self-contained and resource center classes.

Modifications address individual learning rates, styles, needs and the varying abilities of all special populations served in the programs available in the district.

The intent is three-fold:

• To provide alternative materials, techniques and evaluation criteria to address the range of students' needs;

• To parallel the regular curriculum in skill, content sequence and coverage to prepare students for mainstreaming;

• To maximize students' potential for movement to less restrictive environments.

In the event there is a conflict between the prescribed curriculum and the IEP for an individual student, the IEP will take precedence and will constitute the individually prescribed proficiencies for the student.
