This lesson aligns with the national curriculum standards for phonics instruction, focusing on the recognition of letters and sounds, blending sounds to read words, and practicing decoding skills.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Phonics | 5 minutes | Briefly explain what phonics is and its importance in reading. Introduce the phonetic sounds to be covered in the lesson. |
| 2 | Phonics Demonstration | 10 minutes | Use flashcards to demonstrate each sound. Engage students by asking them to repeat the sounds together. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 minutes | In pairs, let students practice blending sounds using flashcards. Monitor interactions and provide support as needed. |
| 4 | Independent Activity | 5 minutes | Distribute worksheets with phonics exercises (matching sounds to letters, filling in blanks). Students work independently, and the teacher circulates to assist. |
| 5 | Reading Practice | 3 minutes | Pair students to read short books using the phonics skills they've practiced. Teacher listens to select pairs to encourage and correct pronunciation. |
| 6 | Review and Homework Check | 2 minutes | Review a few homework exercises without asking students to present. Provide feedback on common errors. Introduce homework for the next session (e.g., phonics practice sheet). |
Students will complete a phonics practice worksheet at home, focusing on sound recognition and blending skills. The teacher will check these worksheets in the next class without requiring any presentations.
