Engage Year 2 students with a fun and interactive lesson on decoding text through an exciting story featuring silly aliens. Today, we will explore a decodeable reader that helps us learn how to read together!
Begin the lesson with an exciting countdown to introduce the theme of the lesson.
Teacher: "Attention, class! In just 5 seconds, we'll be meeting some silly aliens from outer space! Are you ready?"
Countdown from 5 to 1 with hand gestures.
After the countdown, engage the students with some fun questions.
Teacher: "What do you think aliens look like? How do you think they might talk or act?"
Encourage students to share their imaginative ideas. Write their responses on the whiteboard.
Next, let the students know about the special book for today.
Teacher: "Today, we are going on a fun adventure with some very silly aliens! This book, called 'Super Silly Alien Adventure,' has lots of cool words for us to decode together. We'll be reading about what happens when these aliens visit Earth!"
To build excitement, you might show colorful illustrations of the aliens from the book.
Teacher: "Let me show you some pictures of our silly alien friends! Look at their funny colors and shapes! Who wants to guess what silly things they might do?"
To motivate students, let them know there are rewards.
Teacher: "As we read and decode together, if I see you doing a great job, you'll earn stickers! Are you ready to blast off into our alien adventure?"
Now that the students are excited and engaged, transition into the reading activity.
Teacher: "Alright, everyone! Let's jump into the 'Super Silly Alien Adventure.' Remember, we’ll take turns reading, and I’ll help you decode any tricky words. Let’s go meet our new friends from the stars!"
By starting with an interactive approach and building anticipation, students will be more eager to learn and decode text in the context of an exciting alien adventure! Happy reading!
