Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Begin with a class discussion about favorite foods, animals, and toys, encouraging students to express their likes and dislikes. Introduce a simple song or rhyme that emphasizes different sounds and syllables, asking students to clap along with each syllable. Engage students in a quick game where they identify objects in the classroom and use their initial sounds to guess the word.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Oral Language: Conduct a class circle time where each student shares one thing they like and one thing they dislike, prompting them with questions to elaborate. Play a role-playing game where students choose a character (like a favorite animal or toy) and describe its likes and dislikes. Reading: Guide students in a phonics activity where they practice segmenting words into individual sounds using picture cards. Read a short story aloud and pause to emphasize and segment multisyllabic words, encouraging students to repeat after you. Writing: Have students practice writing simple words using both capital and small letters by tracing over dotted lines. Create a worksheet where students match words with pictures and write the words using correct capitalization. Using Writing Conventions: Introduce a mini-lesson on proper nouns, focusing on names of people, places, and specific items. Provide a worksheet where students correct sentences by adding capital letters to proper nouns. Extensive Reading: Set up a reading corner with age-appropriate books and encourage students to pick one to explore quietly. Pair students for a buddy reading session where they take turns reading to each other from a simple storybook.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Oral Language: Reflect on the 'show and tell' activity by asking students to share what they learned about their classmates' likes and dislikes. Reading: Conduct a quick review where students identify and segment words from the story read during the lesson, discussing any challenges faced. Writing: Ask students to share their written sentences with a partner, checking for correct use of capital and small letters. Using Writing Conventions: Have students share their 'capitalization hunt' findings and discuss any new proper nouns they learned. Extensive Reading: Gather students to discuss the books they read in the reading corner, sharing their favorite parts and characters.
