[bright cheerful music] [shaking maracas] Oh, hi there, friends.

Sorry, I was just doing something that brings me joy which is making music.

But I was about to actually take a break to do some work with sounds.

Would you like to join me?

Okay, awesome.

Before we start with our sound of the day, I thought we should warm up our ears with a little sound activity.

So what's gonna happen is I am going to say syllables, okay?

And what I want you to do is put those syllables together to make a word.

So watch, I'll go first.

If I said um-brell-a, you would then blend those together, um-brell-a, into umbrella.

Okay?

Let's try one together.

Ready?

Here are the syllables.

Con-cen-trate.

So think.

Con-cen-trate.

How would you blend those together?

Concentrate.

Say it faster.

Concentrate.

Okay.

Try the next couple on your own, ready?

Re-cy-cle.

Recycle.

Yes-ter-day.

Yesterday.

Ready?

Mon-u-ment.

Monument.

Like a tall statue.

Okay, here's the last one.

And I really like this one because it actually has our sound for today.

Ready?

En-joy-ment.

Enjoyment.

Okay.

Now, listen to that middle syllable really carefully.

Ready?

En-joy-ment.

Okay?

So in that middle syllable is our sound for today.

And I really love this sound because it really gives my mouth a workout.

The sound we're working on today is the sound oy.

Can you say that?

Oy.

Yeah, you notice how your mouth starts off one way.

Oy.

And then it ends up in a completely different position.

Ee.

Oy-ee.

Yeah.

Okay.

So there are two ways to spell that oy sound that we're going to focus on today.

The first one is O-I.

Like coin.

Okay?

So O-I, oi, like coin.

All right, now when we see this oi spelling, usually we'll see it at the beginning, or in the middle of a word.

For the purpose of today's lesson though, we're just gonna focus on it in the middle of words.

So for example, if I wanted to spell the word coin, I would go C, for it to represent my ka sound.

And then O-I is going to represent that oi sound.

And then N. Coin, N. Okay?

So coin.

Okay.

Now, how would I turn coin into join?

Like do you wanna join me in making some music?

All right, let's think.

Coin, join.

Where do we feel our mouth changes, the sound changing?

Coin, join.

That's right, in the beginning.

So the oin part is going to stay the same.

How would I turn c-oin into j-oin?

Kuh, juh.

That's right.

The J is representing that juh sound, okay?

So juh-oi, 'cause I'm hearing that oi in the middle for now.

We're gonna stick with our O-I.

Join.

Join.

Okay.

Let's do a couple more words, but this time, let's start with, I'm just gonna slide you over so we have more room, 'cause there's a lot of words that I want us to focus on for this one.

Let's do the word soil, which is like another word for dirt.

Right?

Soil.

All right, so first sound, ss, is going to be represented by our S. And now what letters are going to make the oi sound in soil?

That's right.

O-I.

And now what letter is going to represent the ending sound?

Soil.

L, notice L. That's right, it's going to be my L. Soil.

All right, how would I turn soil into boil?

Like what water does when it gets really hot.

Boil.

Soil, boil.

Where do you hear the change in the sound?

That's right, in the beginning.

For the rest, oil stays the same.

So how would we turn soil into boil?

That's right.

My ss now becomes the buh.

And that's represented by the letter B. Boi-l.

Okay?

Boil.

All right, how about, how would I turn boil into foil?

Like sometimes you wrap up food in aluminum foil.

Okay?

So how would I turn boil into foil?

That's right.

I'm going to replace the buh sound with the ff sound.

So which letter will I need?

That's right.

F is representing that ff sound in foi, oi, l. Foil.

Okay.

So that's one way that we can write this oi sound.

Now I'm going to show you another way.

So remember, first way is O-I, like coin, and usually we'll see it at the beginning, but today we're focusing on it in the middle of words when we hear that oi sound.

The other way we're gonna focus on the oi sound today is when we hear it at the end of a word.

Now, we could hear it at the end of syllables too, but right now, for today we're focusing on just the end of the word.

And that spelling is O-Y, like boy.

Okay?

So O-Y, oy, like boy.

So why don't we start out by spelling the word boy first?

So, boy.

I need my buh and then my oy sound.

So buh is represented by B, and then my oy sound at the end of the word is O-Y.

Boy.

Now, how would I turn boy into toy?

Boy, toy.

That's right.

The buh gets replaced by ta.

So now the letter I need is, let me hear it.

That's right.

I need my T for ta, and then oy is represented by O-Y at the end of that word.

Awesome.

Okay.

How about the word, ooh, I like this word a lot.

Listen carefully.

Enjoy.

Uh-huh, I got you there with the two syllables, right?

En-joy.

All right.

So I like to break up words that have multiple syllables with little scoops, so en-joy.

So it really helps me focus on each section of the word.

So let's start up with en.

En.

Well I hear eh-n.

So, en, eh-n, eh.

E. En, n. That's right, I need my N. So N. Okay, so we got the first part, en.

Now we need joy.

A-ha.

This is where all of our hard work is going to pay off.

Joy.

Let's see.

Juh-oy.

Juh-oy.

So what is that first sound we hear in joy?

That's right, we hear the juh sound, which is represented by the letter J. Juh.

And then how am I going to write the oy sound?

You guys are so smart, that's right.

O-Y is going to represent my oy sound.

So now we have enjoy.

What's the word?

Enjoy.

Awesome.

Okay, now I'm going to have a couple of words pop up for you, and first, I want you to just blend and read them, focusing on that oy sound.

Then there are a couple of bonus ones at the end that I wanna see, can you figure out which spelling of oy do you need?

Will you need O-Y spelling, or the O-I spelling.

Good luck.

- [Instructor] Let's blend and read words with the oi sound, spelled O-I, as in coin, and O-Y, as in boy.

Buh-oy.

Boy.

Juh-oy.

Joy.

Buh-oil-l.

Boil.

Last one.

Ss-oi-l.

Soil.

Okay, let's see if you can figure out the correct spelling for these words.

What spelling of oy would you need for the word toy?

That's right, O-Y.

Toy.

What spelling of oy will you need for the word join?

O-I.

Join.

What spelling of oy will you need for the word coin?

O-I, coin.

Bonus word.

How would we spell enjoy?

Which version of oy do we need?

O-Y.

Stupendous job.

- Way to go, scholars!

You did an awesome job working with our two ways of spelling the oy sound.

Either O-Y, like boy, or O-I, like coin.

Keep practicing reading and writing words with that oy sound.

Well, until next time, if you want to find me, you can come join me in my band- [shaking maracas] Bye!
