Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Digraphs	5	Introduce the concept of digraphs. Use examples such as 'sh', 'ch', 'th', and 'wh'. Write them on the board and explain their sounds.
2	Group Activity	10	Divide students into small groups. Give each group a set of flashcards with words containing digraphs. Have them read out loud and discuss.
3	Whole Class Practice	5	Regroup as a class. Call on groups to share one word they practiced. Write the words on the board, emphasizing the digraphs and their sounds.
4	Guided Reading	5	Read a short story or text aloud that includes multiple digraph words. Focus on pronunciation and intonation.
5	Worksheet Activity	5	Hand out worksheets containing exercises on identifying digraphs in words. Circulate the room to offer assistance as needed.
6	Review and Wrap-Up	5	Review key concepts learned in the lesson. Ask for examples of digraphs without calling on individual students to present their homework.

Homework

• Assign students to find and illustrate five words with digraphs from their environment or reading material and write sentences using those words. Worksheets will be collected the next day for assessment without any student presentations.

Assessment

• Student worksheets will be checked for understanding of digraphs and correct spelling of designated words.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to practice pronunciation at home and to look for digraphs in their reading materials.
