Students will engage in a whole group discussion to formulate questions about the role of syllables in reading and spelling, using observations and stories, to set the foundation for investigations in their upcoming syllable sort and art project.

Students will explore and discover syllable types through songs, hands-on activities, and interactive stations, collaborating with peers to gather insights on VCe, open, and closed syllables, which will inform their future syllable sort game creation.

Students will collaboratively create a syllable sort game and participate in a syllable type art activity, incorporating their learned patterns and types from previous research to develop new understanding and practical applications of syllables in reading and pronunciation.

Students will collaborate in small groups to present their created syllable sort games and type art activities to their peers and other first-grade classes, receiving feedback and sharing insights about syllable patterns and pronunciation.

Students will engage in reflective discussions to share insights on the syllable types learned, evaluate their own games and art activities for effectiveness, and generate ideas to address any new questions or challenges they encountered.

Students will create and present a syllable sort game to peers and partner classrooms, applying their understanding of syllable types to demonstrate how identifying these patterns can aid in reading and spelling new words.
