Introduction (5 minutes)

Greeting

• Teacher: “Good morning, class! Today we are going to become word detectives. Our mission is to learn how to decode words using phonics and word analysis skills.”

Hook

• Teacher: “Who can tell me what it means to decode a word? Yes, it means to sound out and understand how to read words. Let’s dive in!”

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

Phonics Review

1. What are Phonics?

   • Teacher: “Phonics is the relationship between sounds and letters. By understanding these relationships, we can read and write better.”

2. Sound and Letter Relationship:

   • Teacher: Write the word "cat" on the whiteboard.
     • “Let’s break this word down. What sounds do we hear?”
       • /k/ /æ/ /t/
     • "What letters make those sounds?"

3. Common Phonics Patterns:

   • Teacher: Introduce common phonics patterns like:
     • CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant): cat, pat, hat
     • Digraphs: sh, ch, th (show examples)
     • Vowel Teams: ai, ee, oa (show examples)

Word Analysis Skills

• Teacher: “Now, let’s talk about word analysis. This means looking at parts of words to help us read them.”

1. Root Words and Affixes:

   • Teacher: “A root word is a base word. When we add prefixes and suffixes, we change the meaning.”

   Example:

   • Teacher: “Let’s look at the word ‘unhappy.’ The root word is ‘happy’ and the prefix is ‘un-’. What does ‘un-’ mean? Yes, it means not!”

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

Group Activity: Decoding Words

1. Flashcard Activity:

   • Teacher: Show flashcards with different words.
     • “Let’s decode these words together as a class. What sounds do we hear in ‘shop’?”
       • “Great! /ʃ/ /ɒ/ /p/ – the letters ‘s’, ‘h’, and ‘o’ make those sounds.”

2. Phonics Worksheets:

   • Teacher hands out worksheets that include various phonics exercises.
     • “Now it’s your turn! Use the worksheets to practice decoding some new words on your own. Remember to think about the sounds!”

---

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

Reading Decodable Texts

• Teacher: “Now that we’ve practiced decoding words, let’s read a short passage together. This passage will include words with the sounds and patterns we just learned.”

1. Reading Time:
   • Give students time to read their decodable texts quietly. Teacher circulates to offer support.

Highlighting Decoded Words

• Teacher: “As you read, use your highlighters to mark the words you decoded. What words did you find?”

---

Closure (5 minutes)

Review Learning

• Teacher: “Today, we learned how to decode words using phonics and word analysis. Can anyone tell me one phonics pattern they learned?”

Homework

• Teacher: “For homework, please find 5 words at home that follow the patterns we discussed and write them down.”

Farewell

• Teacher: “Great job today, everyone! I’m so proud of you for becoming word detectives! See you next time!”

---

Assessment

• Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess their ability to decode words.
• Collect worksheets to evaluate understanding of phonics and word analysis skills.
