"Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to dive into the wonderful world of CVC words. Can anyone tell me what 'CVC' stands for? That's right! It stands for consonant-vowel-consonant. These are three-letter words where the first letter is a consonant, the middle letter is a vowel, and the last letter is another consonant.
Let's think of some examples together. I’ll start: how about the word 'cat'? Can anyone think of another one? Yes, 'dog' is another great example! Excellent job, class! Together, let’s come up with a few more. When I say 'ham,' what do you all think?
Great job! Understanding CVC words will help us become better readers and writers!"
"Now, it’s time for some fun! I’m going to pass around some printed CVC word cards. Each of you will get a card. I want you to look at that card closely. We will fill out these cards with words we learn today.
First, I need everyone to take a card and a marker pen. Can we all hold up our cards when we have them? Perfect! Now, I want you to write down a CVC word inside the card as we go along in the lesson. Remember, it can only be CVC words, so think about the examples we’ve talked about. Let’s get ready to start our activities!"
"Alright, let’s practice some CVC words together as a class. I’ll read a word, and I’d like you all to repeat it after me. Are you ready?
The first word is ‘bat.’
(Wait for students to repeat.)
Great! Next one is ‘top.’
(Wait for students to repeat.)
Fantastic! Now let’s try ‘pin.’
(Wait for students to repeat.)
Wonderful, everyone! Now, turn to your partner next to you and practice these words again together. Help each other with pronunciation. I’ll give you a few minutes for this!"
"Now it’s time for you to work independently! You have your CVC word cards, and I want you to fill them out. Think back to the words we practiced together. You can also come up with new CVC words.
You have five minutes to work on this, and if you need help, just raise your hand, and I’ll come over to assist you. Ready? Go!"
"Okay, pencils down, everyone! I’m going to walk around the classroom and check your CVC cards. I’m looking to see the words you’ve chosen. Remember, you don’t need to present your cards; this is just for me to see your hard work.
As I come around, I’ll give you some feedback, so let’s see what you’ve got!”
"Wonderful job today, everyone! Now, I have a quick homework assignment for you. You will be taking home a worksheet that has some images. Your task is to write the CVC word that goes with each picture.
Make sure to ask a parent or guardian if you need help, and remember to return it by Friday. Do you all understand what to do? Great!"
"Let’s take a moment to recap what we learned today. We talked about CVC words, which are so important for reading and writing. Can anyone tell me why CVC words are useful? Yes, they help us sound out words and build our vocabulary!
Thank you all for your fantastic participation today. I’m so proud of each one of you! Keep practicing those CVC words at home, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a wonderful day!"
