| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson plan corresponds to the reading standards outlined in the US National Curriculum that emphasize phonics and word recognition.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Introduce the concept of digraphs. Explain that digraphs are two letters that make one sound. Provide examples (e.g., "ch", "sh"). |
| 2 | Guided Practice | 10 min | Use flashcards to display digraphs and words. Ask students to read them aloud together, emphasizing correct pronunciation. |
| 3 | Independent Activity | 10 min | Distribute worksheets with exercises identifying digraphs in sentences and matching words to pictures. Encourage students to work independently. |
| 4 | Review and Reinforce | 5 min | Discuss answers from the worksheets as a class. Ask guiding questions to reinforce understanding, ensuring students explain their thought processes. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment | 5 min | Assign students to create a short story or a few sentences that include at least five words with digraphs. Collect the stories at the next class for review, avoiding presentations. |
Students will write a short story or a few sentences that include at least five digraph words to reinforce their understanding. The stories will be collected in the next class for assessment without requiring student presentations.
Monitor students during guided practice and independent activities. Evaluate the homework based on creativity, accuracy of digraphs, and completion of the assignment. Provide constructive feedback on their written work in the next class.
After the lesson, reflect on student engagement and understanding of the material. Consider what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons on digraphs or similar topics.
