Keywords

• Phoneme Manipulation
• Adding Phonemes
• Deleting Phonemes
• Vocabulary

Set Induction

Begin with a game where students listen to words and identify changes in sounds by adding or deleting phonemes. For example, ask them to identify what word remains when you add /s/ to “un” (answer: “sun”).

Entry Behavior

Students should have basic familiarity with identifying and manipulating sounds in words from previous lessons.

Learning Resources and Materials

• Flashcards with words for manipulation exercises
• Audio recordings of word examples
• Whiteboard and markers

Building Background / Connection to Prior Knowledge

Recap the importance of identifying individual sounds in words and blending them to form meaningful words.

Embedded Core Skills

• Listening
• Speaking
• Reading (through phoneme manipulation)
• Writing (by practicing words with added or deleted phonemes)

Learning Materials

• Phonics workbook (for reinforcement)
• Digital or physical flashcards with word examples
• Audio recordings of phonemic exercises

Instructional Materials

• Flashcards with words for manipulation exercises
• Audio recordings of word examples for listening exercises

Content

1. Explanation of Phoneme Manipulation – Adding and Deleting Phonemes:
   • Phoneme manipulation involves changing words by adding or deleting sounds (phonemes).
   • Today, we will practice adding and deleting sounds like /s/, /t/, /p/, etc., in various words.
2. Examples of Manipulated Words:
   • Adding /s/: “un” + /s/ = “sun”
   • Deleting /t/: “sat” – /t/ = “sa”
   • Adding /p/: “in” + /p/ = “pin”

Evaluation

1. What word is formed by adding /s/ to “un”? a) bun
   b) sun
   c) run
   d) fun
2. Remove /t/ from “sat”. What word remains? a) sat
   b) sit
   c) sa
   d) bat
3. Add /p/ to “in”. What word is formed? a) pin
   b) in
   c) pan

Class Activity Discussion

1. What is phoneme manipulation?
   Phoneme manipulation is changing words by adding or deleting sounds (phonemes).
2. Why is adding and deleting phonemes important?
   It helps us understand how sounds affect word meanings and improve our vocabulary.
3. Can you give an example of adding a phoneme to a word?
   Yes, adding /s/ to “un” forms the word “sun”.
4. How do you practice phoneme manipulation?
   By listening to word examples and identifying changes in sounds.
5. What if a word has more than one sound to add or delete?
   We focus on each change step-by-step to understand its effect on the word.
6. What other sounds will we practice today?
   We will also practice adding and deleting /p/, /t/, /l/, /b/, etc., sounds.

Presentation

1. Step 1: Revising Previous Knowledge
   • Review the phonemes (/ɜː/, /ɔː/, /aɪ/, /eɪ/, etc.) learned in previous lessons.
   • Discuss their importance in understanding phoneme manipulation.
2. Step 2: Introducing Phoneme Manipulation
   • Explain the concept of adding and deleting phonemes to change words.
   • Use flashcards and audio recordings to demonstrate examples.
3. Step 3: Practicing with Words
   • Have students practice adding and deleting sounds in words from flashcards.
   • Encourage them to say the modified word and identify the added or deleted sound.

Teacher’s Activities

• Guide students through examples of phoneme manipulation.
• Use visual aids and interactive methods to engage students.
• Provide feedback and correction during practice exercises.

Learners’ Activities
