Digraphs
Grade 2 (Ages 7-8)
English Language Arts
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Reading Foundations in Grade 2, specifically focusing on phonics and word recognition.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Digraphs | 5 | Briefly explain what digraphs are, providing examples (e.g., "ch," "sh," "th"). Engage students by asking them to think of words with these digraphs. |
| 2 | Digraph Identification | 10 | Use flashcards to show words that contain digraphs. Ask students to identify the digraphs in each word. Provide support and correct any misconceptions. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 | Divide students into small groups of 4. Give each group chart paper and markers to create a "Digraph Word Wall" featuring words with digraphs they come up with. Encourage creativity. |
| 4 | Individual Practice | 5 | Distribute worksheets with digraph exercises. Students will complete the worksheet individually, where they identify digraphs and fill in the blanks. |
| 5 | Review and Closing | 5 | Quickly review what was learned about digraphs. Collect worksheets for assessment without presentations. Answer any final questions from students. |
Students will complete a short worksheet at home where they will find and write down five words that contain digraphs, illustrating each word with a simple drawing. This will reinforce their understanding of digraphs and provide a fun follow-up activity.
