Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Phonics - Consonant Blends 2

# Lesson Plan: Consonant Blends (Part 2) for Primary 1 ### **Objective:** Students will be able to identify, pronounce, and use consonant blends commonly found at the beginning and end of words. ### **Materials:** 1. Flashcards with consonant blends and pictures 2. Whiteboard and markers 3. Worksheets with fill-in-the-blanks and matching activities 4. Phonics readers or simple storybooks 5. Audio clips with pronunciation examples (optional) 6. Chart paper and sticky notes ### **Lesson Duration:** 60 minutes --- ### **Lesson Outline:** 1. **Warm-Up (5 minutes)** - Begin with a fun, engaging song or chant about consonant blends. - Quick recap on previously learned consonant blends from "Consonant Blends 1" lesson. - Ask students to share words they remember from the last lesson. 2. **Introduction to New Consonant Blends (10 minutes)** - Introduce new consonant blends: bl, cl, sl, tr, br, gr. - Display flashcards with each blend and a corresponding picture (e.g., bl for "blue," cl for "clap," etc.). - Pronounce each blend and have the class repeat after you. 3. **Guided Practice (15 minutes)** - Demonstrate blending sounds with the whiteboard. Write down words like "black," "clock," "slide," "train," "brick," and "green." - Break down each word to show how the blend works (e.g., for "black": "b-l-a-ck"). - Encourage students to come up and write or say other words they know that use these blends. 4. **Interactive Activity (10 minutes)** - Distribute the flashcards among the students. - Play a matching game where students have to find and pair consonant blend cards with the correct pictures or words. - Organize a group activity on chart paper where students place sticky notes with words under the correct blend headings. 5. **Worksheet Activity (10 minutes)** - Hand out worksheets where students need to fill in the blanks with the correct blend or match pictures to words. - Monitor their progress, providing assistance as needed. 6. **Reading Practice (5 minutes)** - Read a simple story or a few sentences that include the new consonant blends. - Ask students to identify the blends they hear and see. 7. **Review and Closing (5 minutes)** - Review the day's blends by sounding them out together one more time. - Conduct a quick oral quiz where students say a word with a blend, and the rest of the class identifies the blend. - Encourage students to look for these blends in books they read at home or during independent reading time. ### **Assessment:** - Observe student participation during activities and their ability to correctly identify and use the consonant blends. - Check worksheets for understanding and accuracy. - Listen to students as they read or say words with the consonant blends. ### **Extension:** - For advanced students, introduce more complex blends or multisyllabic words that use the day's blends. - Assign students to find words at home or in the classroom that use the studied blends and share them in the next lesson.
