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}

Lesson plan

Topic

Phonemic Awareness

Objectives

• Students will identify individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to blend sounds to form words.
• Students will practice segmenting words into their individual phonemes.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Flashcards with simple CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words
• Phoneme segmentation worksheets
• Audio recordings of words for listening practice
• Bingo cards with phonemes

Grade/Age Group

Kindergarten to 1st Grade (Ages 5-7)

Subject

Reading

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, specifically in the area of phonemic awareness, which is essential for developing reading skills.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Phonemes	5	Explain what phonemes are and their importance in reading. Use examples and engage students with questions.
2	Sound Identification	7	Use flashcards to identify sounds in spoken words. Say a word aloud and have students clap for each phoneme.
3	Blending Sounds	7	Model blending sounds to make a word using CVC examples. Have students practice blending sounds in pairs.
4	Phoneme Segmentation Activity	5	Distribute worksheets for students to segment given words into phonemes. Circulate to assist students.
5	Phonics Bingo	4	Play bingo with phonemes. Call out sounds and have students mark them on their bingo cards.
6	Closure and Review	2	Summarize key points of the lesson. Reinforce the importance of phonemic awareness for reading development.

Homework

Students will complete a phoneme recognition worksheet at home. The homework will be collected and reviewed by the teacher without individual presentations. Feedback will be provided in written form.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during activities.
• Review of homework worksheets for understanding of phonemic awareness concepts.

Additional Notes

• Ensure a supportive and encouraging environment, allowing students to feel comfortable participating.
• Be prepared to adjust the lesson based on the students' engagement and understanding.
