Harcourt Trophies
2nd Grade: Book 2-2
Banner Days

 

  Note:  I bogged down the Harcourt Second Grade page due to too many icons. (Meaning, it is now too large to open and I can't get to it to repair it.)  In order to fix the problem, I decided to divide the page into two web pages, one per book and remove all the cute little icons. I would just leave it, but teachers are finding broken links and I can't fix it on that web page, so I made new ones so I could fix them.  I did this once before, you would think I would learn.

 All DOCUMENTS are in Word 2003 or PDF files.  

 

If you find any broken links, please let me know.  I'll try to fix them as soon as possible.

Daily Phonic and Language Drills

The booklet is teacher-made and contains just the words, but not the skills or directions.  The directions or rules are in your reading and language manuals.  

Directions for the Quiz or Teach and Test:

First: The first 5 words were called out as a spelling test.

Next:  I would have a *few students per word go to the board and write their answers and the rest of the class would decide if it was correct, and go over the rule.   The best way is to go word by word until you have done all 5.  This is where most of the phonic reinforcement is done.  Students check their own work by comparing their answers with the answers the students wrote on the board.   (Also having students write on the board gave the class an opportunity to check handwriting errors like p, g, and y sitting above the line or backward letters.)

* (I wanted every child go to the board not just a few eager ones, so   I wrote all the students name on popsicle sticks, put them in a can names upside down,  then  I would pull names until all were gone, put them back and start over.)

Last:  The last 5 were called out as a spelling test and check by the teacher.

Note:  Sometime this would follow the skill lesson and other times it was used to review skills. If I wanted to check their phonic, I would use nonsense words that followed the phonic rules such as chert, grute, stad, etc.  In fact, I usually started this method by using nonsense words and every once in a while I would throw a nonsense word in the group to check if they were using phonic or just great spellers.  If you have any more questions, email me and I’ll try to answer your questions.  Anne

Quiz Booklet    (or Teach and Test)

Excuse the errors, it wasn't meant for anyone but me, but some teachers have asked for the booklet so here it is.

The Phonic Part of the paper

Explanation for  L, S, R, VD, DPT 

L   means     long vowel 

S   means    short vowel

R   means    r-control  (ar/, er/, ir/, or/, ur/)

VD  means   vowel digraphs (oo/ in moon,  oo/ in book etc)

DPT  means   diphthong (ow/ in cow, ou/ in loud, oi/ in oil, oy/ in boy, etc.)

You may need to refer to your phonics program to decide what they consider a vowel digraph and a dipthong.  I found they vary.  I mostly used Saxon and Curriculum Press phonic programs.

Note:  "If two vowels go a walking, and  first one does the talking", I consider them long vowels (or short vowels [as in head] for the drill.  I wanted my students to listen for the vowel sounds. If you have questions, please email me at lamiller_2@msn.com  . Thanks, Anne
