Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Phonics	5	Briefly explain what phonics is. Introduce the concept of sounds and their importance in reading.
2	Sound Recognition	10	Use flashcards to teach individual phonemes (e.g., 's', 'a', 't'). Say each sound together as a class.
3	Phonics Song	5	Play a phonics song that includes the sounds learned. Encourage students to sing along and act out sounds.
4	Blending Sounds	5	Demonstrate blending sounds to form simple words. (E.g., 's', 'a', 't' = "sat"). Have students repeat.
5	Guided Practice	5	Hand out phonics worksheets that allow students to practice writing sounds and blending them into words.
6	Review and Wrap-Up	5	Recap what was learned, reinforce sound recognition, and review worksheet answers without student presentations. Use this time to give small rewards for participation.

Homework

Give students a short worksheet with images of objects that start with the phonemes learned (e.g., a picture of a 'cat' for 'c'). Ask them to colour the pictures and practice saying the corresponding sounds at home. Collect the worksheets in the next lesson for feedback.
