"Good morning, class! Today we are going to learn about something very special called CVC words. Does anyone know what a CVC word is?
(Wait for responses, prompt if necessary.)
CVC stands for Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. This means that each CVC word has three sounds: the first sound is a consonant, the middle sound is a vowel, and the last sound is another consonant.
Let’s look at some examples!
(Show the flashcards one by one.)
Here’s a flashcard with the word 'cat'. 'C' is the consonant, 'a' is the vowel, and 't' is the consonant again. Can everyone say 'cat' with me?
(Wait for students to repeat.)
Great! Now, let’s take a look at the next one: 'dog'. Who can tell me the consonants and the vowel in 'dog'?
(Prompt students to share their thoughts.)
Fantastic! You all are doing an amazing job!"
"Now, I’m going to read a short story that has many CVC words in it. Please listen carefully for the CVC words as I read. Remember, I want you to raise your hand every time you hear a CVC word. Are you ready?
(Ensure students are engaged and ready to listen.)
Here we go!
(Proceed to read a short story aloud that includes CVC words like 'cat', 'bed', 'dog', etc., pausing for students to respond when they hear a CVC word.)
Wonderful listening, everyone! Now, can anyone tell me some of the CVC words we heard in the story?
(Encourage students to share their answers.)
Excellent job! You’re really understanding CVC words!"
"Next, we are going to have some fun with CVC words by using printable cards!
(Distribute the printable CVC word cards to each student.)
On these cards, I want you to fill in the CVC words we’ve learned today. I will say a CVC word, and I want you to write it down on your cards. Ready?
(Provide a few examples, such as 'hop', 'bat', 'fan', and so on.)
Now remember to take your time and make sure to spell the words correctly. I’ll be walking around to help if you need it.
(Assist students as needed while maintaining a supportive environment.)
You have 10 minutes to finish filling in your cards. Let’s start now!"
"Okay, friends! It’s time to check what you’ve written on your CVC word cards.
(Collect or check the cards randomly, offering praise and support.)
I will randomly call on a few of you to share one word you wrote. Let’s see how many CVC words we have!
(Wait for students to share and provide feedback.)
Great work, everyone! Remember, every letter and sound is important."
"As we wrap up our lesson today, let’s quickly review a few CVC words one last time.
(Ask students to recall words and say them as a class.)
Can someone tell me one CVC word they wrote on their card today?
(Encourage students to share.)
Thank you for participating so actively! I’m so proud of all of you for working with CVC words.
For homework, I’d like you to find 3 CVC words in your home. You can write them down and we will collect them in our next lesson.
Have a great day, everyone!"
