Lesson steps

- Our raccoon continues the story about himself. Raccoons feel best near water. It is here, on the banks of rivers, that they go out in search of food: with palpating movements of small, dexterous paws, without even looking, the striped raccoon explores the shallow water and looks for food. - How do you understand the word shallow water? (uses an explanatory dictionary) - “ABC” will help you find out additional facts about the river as a habitat not only for raccoons. On page 75, find the text “River”. Read the text and complete any of the additional tasks.
    Count the number of offers. Find words that have 2 syllables and all consonants are soft. Find in the explanatory dictionary the meanings of the words IL, TINA.
Invites you to check what has been done.- We read the text in a chain, carefully following the reader in the textbook. - Let's check how we completed the tasks. How many sentences are there in the text? - Name words that have 2 syllables and all consonants are soft. - What is TINA? IL? - Great, you did a good job.

Letter uh written at the beginning of the root to convey a vowel uh(without antecedent j):

1. At the beginning of the following native Russian pronominal words and interjections: this (this, this, these), this, this, this, this, this; eva, evon, ege, ege ge, hey, ek, eh, ehma, ehe he .

2. At the beginning of words of foreign origin (including proper names), for example: eureka, export, emergency, hellenic, epic, era, ethics, echo, etna, eric(with letter uh eucalyptus, egoism, equator, exam, economy, electricity, element, elite, emotion, energy, epigraph, epidemic, escort, aesthetics, etymology, ether, Everest, Oedipus, Aeschylus(here the letter uh

3. After prefixes or components of complex and compound words (both after vowels and consonants). Examples:

A) after vowels: anti-electron, anti-SR, de-escalation, unethical, re-examination, step by step, therefore, re-export; dielectric, movie screen, television screen, megaerg, microelement, polyester, mezzanine, five-story;

b) after consonants : electrodeless, sub-screen, pre-exam, one-of-a-kind, save, super-economical, sub-equatorial, super-elite; two-story, three-element, political economy, sanitary and epidemiological station, Mosenergo, Ministry of Economy.

Not at the beginning of the root after vowels (in words of foreign origin) are written as a letter uh , so e . Their choice depends on the preceding vowel.

1. After the letters e And And is written e. List of basic words: Gehenna, register, extravaganza; hygiene, hyena, sharp, diet, realtor, siesta, spaniel, fiesta and words to −ent: applicant, client, ingredient, coefficient, patient etc. (with the letter e , conveying a stressed vowel); fan, leer, player, Jesuit, hierarchy, hieroglyph, myelitis, pyelitis, piety, requiem, trier(here the letter e conveys an unstressed vowel).

2. After the letters a, oh, y, yu is written e. List of basic words: duel, duet, maestro, minuet, pirouette, poet, poetry, poem, silhouette, figurine(here the letter uh conveys a stressed vowel); aloe, airfield (and other words with initial part aero), firewall, canoe, coefficient, lues, maestoso, muezzin, phaeton, fouette(here the letter uh conveys an unstressed vowel). The same in proper names, for example: Puerto Rico, Wales, Hemingway, Maugham, Laertes, Aelita.

Not at the beginning of the root after the consonants uh written to convey a voweluhand at the same time to indicate the hardness of the preceding consonant in the following cases.

1. In a few common nouns of foreign origin. List of basic words: mayor, master‘teacher, master’, plein air, peer, racket, rap, sir; the same in words derived from them, for example: mayor's office, peerage, racketeer. The range of other words (mostly highly specialized) is determined by a spelling dictionary.

2. In many proper names of foreign origin, for example: Bacon, David, Deng Xiaoping, Davis, Rayleigh, Rambo, Salinger, Sam, Sasson, Thatcher, Teffi(personal names and surnames), Maryland, Taipei, Ulan Ude, Yellow River(geographical names). Letter uh is preserved in any words derived from such proper names, as well as when they transform into common nouns, for example: Ulan Udensky, Rayleigh(physical unit), sasson(a haircut).

In other cases, the letter is written not at the beginning of the root after the consonants e .

Moreover, in all native Russian words the letter e indicates the softness of the preceding consonant, for example: white, wind, word, leg, matter, in the water, underground, trace, laudatory, exchange, wall, census, endure, cut, grow old, spring, reading, paths .

However, in words of foreign origin spelled with the letter e , the preceding consonant can be pronounced firmly. So, after letters conveying a soft consonant, the letter e P found in words asbestos, version, ghetto, despot, zebra, comet, lady, pioneer, subscriber, aspect, watercolor, sector, patent, defect and in a number of others. After letters conveying a hard consonant, e written in words baby, dandy, delta, model, eczema, cousin, slang, businessman, inertia, phonetics, cappella, rugby, rating, dispensary, setter, cottage, parterre, stand, pace and many others, as well as in indeclinable common nouns consistently written with the final letter e, eg: meringue, chimpanzee, macrame, summary, pince-nez, tour, coupe, corrugated, puree, dash, cabaret, fricassee, highway, essay, variety show, décolleté, karate, cafe, and in words with a foreign suffix −essa(type poetess, flight attendant, baroness); in a number of proper names, for example: Carmen, Nehru, Roerich, Brehm, Dantes, Taylor, Delphi, Saint Gotthard .

ONU

Guys, today we have an unusual lesson. Guests have come to us, turn to them

face and say hello. Now everyone will remember their name. Take your seats, those

whose name begins with a vowel sound, sit down guys whose name begins with a consonant

sound. Was there enough room for everyone?

Updating basic knowledge.

How are vowel sounds different from consonants?

How many vowel sounds do you know? Name them.

How many vowel sounds do you know? Name them.

Choral answers. We need the letter A and the letter Z for the sound....

What “work” do the letters A O U E Y do?

What work do the letters I Y Y E I do?

Goal setting

Open your textbooks to page 98. Look at the diagrams, tell us which ones

letters we will speak today. How did you guess?

Work on the topic of the lesson

When do the letters Ya Yo Yu E mean two sounds?

Pay attention to the symbol that will tell us how to

answer the question...as an artist or as a scientist.

At the beginning of the lesson, I asked you to remember your name. Unfortunately, today with

Yulia is not with us, she left for the competition. Her friends Eva and

Yana. I asked the girls to choose patterns for their names. Are they the right choice?

done? What did Julia not take into account?

Let's read words with these letters. There are three columns of words in front of you. First row

will read the first column in unison and answer which of the proposed schemes he

applies. The second row reads the second column in unison and answers which scheme it belongs to

this column. The third row will work similarly with the third column.

Why are all the words in the first column capitalized? How many letters are in each

word? How many sounds?

What is a cabin? What is a lighthouse? Why is it needed?

Cartoon fragment

"Old Lighthouse"

(Soyuzmultfilm 1976. Director Vitold Bordzilovsky.)

Let's make a diagram of the word "lighthouse". How many sounds does it have? How many letters?

Why are there more sounds?

Physical education minute

Get up, let's rest a little. The lighthouse is located next to the sea.

And above the sea - you and I!

Seagulls circle above the waves,

Let's fly after them together.

Splashes of foam, sound of the surf,

And above the sea - you and I! (Children wave their arms like wings.)

We are now sailing on the sea

And we frolic in the open space.

Have fun raking

And catch up with the dolphins. (Children make swimming movements with their hands.)

Guys, a long time ago, more than 70 years ago, the Nazis attacked our land. They

captured one of these lighthouses.

Cartoon fragment.

Our soldiers could not liberate the city, because the seashore is dangerous, and the lighthouse

extinguished. Shall we help the guys light the beacon? We need to get to him in such a way that we are not

the enemy noticed. The map will help us with this. We can get it if we find it in

Each line has an extra word.

there is a sheet of paper with words. Find and cross out the extra word, try to convince

comrade in his rightness (crossing out extra words on the board). Along the way, work on

the meaning of the words: shiver, sneak, stick, cabin boy.

Cartoon fragment.

Looking at our map, you can understand that many dangerous places await us along the way.

What dangerous places can we encounter when writing?

In pairs, highlight the dangerous places in the words. This will help us smoothly

get to the lighthouse. Don’t miss a single word...otherwise we won’t be able to light the beacon...no

help Soviet soldiers...( Work on the board)

Physical education minute

Stand up. We're hitting the road! If you see words containing the letters E, E,

Yu, Ya indicate 2 sounds, show them with movements, and if not... freeze on

place. (Words jump Yu, vygl I well, picking it up e m, love Yu, e lives, spr I I feel like I'm looking out Yu,

By e m)

Cartoon fragment.

Now we are already at the lighthouse. It is guarded by the Germans. We can only defeat them with our

intelligence. They invite us to play word games.

which one? Of course, this is the letter Y. In it. the language also has the word ja, it sounds like our word

"I" means "yes"

The first row comes up with words starting with the letter E, the second with the letter E, and the third with the letter

Yu. One, two, three, start of the game...

Cartoon fragment.

Bottom line

Today, with the help of our knowledge, we helped the guys light the beacon and

liberate the city. Of course, the Second World War was completed at the cost of the lives of a huge number of

of people. I would like all conflicts in the present and future to be resolved only

with the help of intellect. Let the voice of weapons never sound!

What knowledge and skills were useful to us today?

Which tasks were difficult? Indeed our acquaintance with

The amazing “work” of the letters E E Yu I has just begun. There is another case when

Spelling is probably one of the most difficult sections of the Russian language. It would seem that there are a huge number of rules indicating how to write correctly, but in all these rules there are also a huge number of exceptions. What do the rules say about how a vowel is used after a vowel? Let's try to figure it out.

Vowel after vowel

Let's start with the fact that vowel sounds (a, o, u, e, i, s) are those that are pronounced only with the voice, without adding noise. After soft consonants in writing, these sounds are represented by the letters i, ё, yu, e - so they can also be considered vowels to some extent. Moving on to the issue of spelling, it is worth noting that the vowel used after the vowel does not in any way affect the spelling of the word; fortunately, unlike consonant sounds, they are not subject to the influence of neighboring sounds. But still, some changes arise due to such proximity.

They concern the phonetic appearance of the word. The sounds e, e (e), yu, i after vowels are doubled. That is, the following transformation occurs: e[e] - [ye], yo[o] - [yo], yu[y] - [yu], ya[a] - [ya]. It is worth noting that the same changes occur after the dividing soft and hard signs, as well as at the beginning of the word. For example: small - [m "elkaye", fir tree - [yolka], entrance - [padyezd]. Very often in tests of the most varied levels there are tasks, the main goal of which is to catch students not knowing this rule. Usually they need to say in which there are more sounds in a word than letters, or vice versa. Whenever something like this occurs, you need to check whether the word begins with a vowel, whether it contains soft and hard separating signs, whether it contains vowels that are written after other vowels - if If there is at least one of the above cases, then there will almost certainly be more sounds in the word than letters (there will be nuances in words with dividing marks that do not indicate sounds).

Consolidation: making a transcription

So, let's consolidate this rule with the help of simple exercises. Task one: make a transcription of words with e, e, ya, yu after a vowel: friends, beautiful, jam, sweet berry, announcement, flock, good fidget, pouring, arrival, volume.

Correct transcriptions: [druz'ya], [beautiful], [varen "ye", [sweet-yagadny], [abyavleniye], [staya], [harashayegaza], [l"yot], [zayest], [abyom]. As a comment, I would like to add that some letters are pronounced differently than they are written, and this determines the presence of other sounds in their place in the transcription. In addition, all phrases, and in principle any words, are written without spaces or other divisions.

Consolidation: sounds and letters

Let's continue to study the processes that occur with i, yu, ё, e after a vowel with the very task that was mentioned in the rule. Given a number of words, you need to determine which words have more sounds than letters.

Apple, convention, bear, Samoa, blizzard, announcement, spinning top, health, sings, incident.

First, let's make transcriptions of the words: [apple] - at the beginning of the word I doubles; [syezd] - after the dividing hard sign e is doubled, but the hard sign itself does not indicate sound; [m"edv"ed"] - in this word there is no vowel after the vowel, no separating marks, no vowel at the beginning of the word; [samaa] - despite the fact that there is a vowel after the vowel, this is not e, yo, yu , I - that is, it does not double; [in "yuga] - after the separating soft sign yu doubles, but the soft sign itself does not indicate sound; [announcement] - there is no vowel after the vowel, no separating marks, no vowel at the beginning of the word; [yula] - the letter yu is doubled at the beginning of the word; [zdarov "ye] - after a soft separating sign e is doubled; [payot] - after a vowel e is doubled; [incident] - there is no vowel after the vowel, no separating marks, no vowel at the beginning of the word.

So, having compiled the transcriptions, we see that, despite the fact that in some words vowels are doubled due to their position, there are not always more sounds in the word. Thus, the correct answer in this task is an apple, a spinning top and singing.

Vowels in the root

In principle, the spelling of vowels is most often associated either with sounds being tested for stress (for example, unstressed vowels in a word) or with alternation (the famous roots gar-gor, kass-kos, bir-ber and many others). But there are also words that need to be remembered: the vowels in them do not obey any rules, for example: concrete, validol, ham, vinaigrette, intelligentsia, closet, holster, obsession, front garden, periphery, tomato, scholarship, elixir and many others.

Special attention is deserved by those words in which, by changing the unverifiable vowel in the root of the word, its meaning changes: campaign (military, election - that is, a series of events) and company (as a group of people), signor and señor (as the Italian and Spanish versions, respectively) . In these cases you will have to be even more careful.

More complicated

So, we figured out how a vowel is written after a vowel, we learned a little about verifiable and unverified sounds. Now let's turn to the spelling of vowels next to consonants. Everything here is very simple: the same rules about verifiable and unverifiable vowels in roots, with endings everything is also extremely simple. But there is a separate caste of words in relation to which it is useless to rely on already known rules: these are those words where vowels meet sibilants.

Vowels with sibilants

Let's start with how the vowels o and e are written after the sibilants at the root of the word. If a word can be matched with a test with the letter e, then at the root under the stress you need to write e (sh?lk-silk), otherwise - o (rustle). In borrowed words, the letter o is written at the root without emphasis: chocolate, jockey, chauvinism. In addition, in homonym words it is worth taking into account the part of speech: verbs are written with the letter ё (set the house on fire), and nouns - with o (convicted of arson). As for suffixes, everything is much simpler here. The suffix -ov- you just need to remember: hedgehog, brocade, canvas. In other cases, under the stress we write about (mouse, hook, girl), and without it - e (river, piece).

If you think that the rule about how to write the vowels o, e after sibilants is so simple, you are mistaken. As for the letter ё, it is found in suffixes. Nouns ending in -yer- (trainee), -yovk- (bechYovka), as well as those formed from verbs (sgushchenka (from thicken) are written with it). The same applies to the verbal suffix -yovyat- (shading) and the adjective suffix -yon- (twisted).

Separately, it is worth noting that the majority of sibilants are hardened, that is, after them the vowels a, u, and are always written. The only exceptions are some borrowings and derivatives from them (jury, parachute, Politburo), as well as foreign names (Jules).

Vowels and ts

The vowels o, e after c are subject to the rules of stress: o (clatter) is written under it, and without it, accordingly, e (chain). But there are several exceptions here, as in any rule of language: duke, palazzo, scherzo, mezzo, tsokotukha and others.

But a more interesting question is the spelling of the vowels i, ы after ц: an eternal dilemma. So, let’s remember: after ц it is always written and - this needs to be remembered. Exceptions are remembered using a simple phrase: the gypsy stands on tiptoe and says chick to the chicken. This also includes the suffix -yn- (sinitsyn).

Remember vowels with sibilants and ts

Now we have examined the main points of spelling vowels after sibilant consonants and ts. In order to consolidate this material, let's do a simple exercise. Insert the missing letters:

Ts?kat, granddaughter, reed, old burnt, bees, sh?pot, ts?lenok, brocade, hood, ts?rk, gilded, set fire to wood, f?len, girl, speech, cat, f?gler, boyfriend, sh?rokh, overnight.

Correct answers: tsukats, granddaughter, reeds, old burn, bees, whisper, chicken, brocade, hood, circus, gilded, launched firewood, julienne, girl, speech, kitty, junner, earright, rustle, overnight.

Generalization

So, we looked at the main points of vowel spelling. Firstly, the proximity of a vowel to another letter does not in any way affect the spelling of the word (the only exception is roots with alternation, in which the letter depends on the presence or absence of a vowel sound behind it). Usually, vowels at the root of a word are either checked or simply remembered; as for suffixes, there are strict rules governing the spelling of letters.

It is worth paying attention to the proximity of vowel sounds with hissing consonants: they have their own system of rules regarding vowels both in roots and in suffixes. By the way, we should also not forget about the letter c with its requirements for vowels in the root, as well as for the eternal choice between i and s. As for the cases when a vowel is written after a vowel, there are no changes in spelling, we are only talking about adding an additional sound in the transcription.

Keeping all the above nuances in mind, you can easily work with vowels in a wide variety of words.

In other cases, the letter is written not at the beginning of the root after the consonants e .

Moreover, in all native Russian words the letter e indicates the softness of the preceding consonant, for example: white, wind, word, leg, matter, in the water, underground, trace, laudatory, exchange, wall, census, endure, cut, grow old, spring, reading, paths.

So, after letters conveying a soft consonant, the letter e written in words asbestos, version, ghetto, despot, zebra, comet, lady, pioneer, subscriber, aspect, watercolor, sector, patent, defect and in a number of others. After letters conveying a hard consonant, e written in words baby, dandy, delta, model, eczema, cousin, slang, businessman, inertia, phonetics, cappella, rugby, rating, dispensary, setter, cottage, parterre, stand, pace and many others, as well as in indeclinable common nouns consistently written with the final letter e , eg: meringue, chimpanzee, macrame, summary, pince-nez, tour, coupe, corrugated, puree, dash, cabaret, fricassee, highway, essay, variety show, décolleté, karate, cafe, and in words with a foreign suffix −essa(type poetess, flight attendant, baroness); in a number of proper names, for example: Carmen, Nehru, Roerich, Brehm, Dantes, Taylor, Delphi, Saint Gotthard.
