SOUNDING OUT WORDS (READING WITH PHONICS)
that was treated during the last lesson
Behavioural Objectives : At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to
- Sound out two letter words
- pronounce two letter words
- copy two letter words correctly from the board
- Make short simple sentences with two letter words
Content :
Children’s knowledge of letters is a strong predictor of their success in learning to read.
I don’t believe in children cramming words. They can cram sight words. But, you can’t introduce sight words to children who are not reading. Sight words are meant to facilitate reading. So, what does a child who is not reading, need sight words for?
In this lesson, you say a word————-still two letter words———- and ask the kids to
spell it following the sounds they hear.
In the last lesson, you write the word and they sound it. Now, you sound the word, they spell it by giving you the letters.
EXAMPLES:
of———– which letter sounds /o/ they will say letter o, which letter sounds /f/, they
will say letter f. So, spell o—f. They will say——- o -f= of
if————- which letter sounds /i/, they will say letter i, which letter sounds /f/, they
will say letter f. So, spell i-f, they will say i-f = if.
(Sound as many two letter words as you can. This should be a continuous exercise. This topic may not be discussed again in this class, but the teacher should continue with it introducing different letters.)
Presentation
The topic is presented step by step
Step 1:
The class teacher revises the previous topics
Step 2.
He introduces the new topic
Step 3:
The class teacher allows the pupils to give their own examples and he corrects them when the needs arise
Evaluation :
- Write out five 2 letter words
- Sound out the sound of the two letter words that you have written out
- Say the sounds of the letters of the alphabet
- Make sentences with two letter words
Conclusion :
The class teacher goes round to make sure that the pupils are actually writing and he or she corrects them when and where the need arises
