### Lesson Plan: Phonics - Group 2 Consonant/Vowel/Consonant Words
**Grade Level**: Nursery 1
**Age Group**: 3-4 years
**Duration**: 30 minutes
**Topic**: Group 2 Consonant/Vowel/Consonant Words
---
#### Objectives:
1. Students will be able to recognize and pronounce consonant/vowel/consonant (CVC) words.
2. Students will be able to identify the sounds associated with Group 2 letters (c, k, e, h, r, m, d).
3. Students will practice blending sounds to form simple words.
---
#### Materials:
- Flashcards with Group 2 letters (c, k, e, h, r, m, d)
- Picture cards corresponding to CVC words using these letters (e.g., cat, hen, red, etc.)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Letter blocks or magnetic letters
- Phonics songs or videos about CVC words
- Worksheets with CVC words and corresponding pictures
---
#### Lesson Steps:
1. **Introduction (5 minutes)**:
- Begin with a phonics song or video focusing on CVC words to get the students engaged.
- Explain that today they will be learning about words that are made up of three sounds: a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant.
2. **Letter Review (5 minutes)**:
- Show flashcards one by one with the Group 2 consonant letters (c, k, h, r, m, d) and the vowel letter (e).
- Pronounce each letter, and have the students repeat after you.
- Use gestures or actions to make the sounds memorable (e.g., hopping for 'h').
3. **Blending Sounds (10 minutes)**:
- Demonstrate how to blend sounds to form CVC words. Start with simple words like "cat," "hen," "red," etc.
- Write a CVC word on the whiteboard, breaking it into individual sounds (e.g., c-a-t).
- Pronounce each sound slowly, then blend them together to say the word.
- Call on students to come up and try blending a new word, offering guidance as needed.
4. **Interactive Activity (5 minutes)**:
- Distribute letter blocks or magnetic letters to the students.
- Call out a CVC word and ask the students to form the word using their letters.
- Walk around, offering help and encouragement.
5. **Picture Matching (5 minutes)**:
- Give each student a worksheet with pictures and corresponding blank spaces for words.
- Have the students match the pictures to the correct CVC words by writing the words.
- Review the answers together as a class.
6. **Closing (5 minutes)**:
- Recap the lesson by having students say some of the words they learned today.
- Sing the phonics song/video again to reinforce the day's learning.
---
#### Assessment:
- Observe students during activities to see if they can correctly blend sounds and identify words.
- Review the worksheets to ensure they can match pictures with the correct CVC words.
- Oral questioning at the end to check for understanding.
---
#### Differentiation:
- **For advanced learners**: Provide more challenging CVC words or ask them to think of sentences using the words.
- **For struggling learners**: Offer more one-on-one support and use visual aids to reinforce learning.
