Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Phonics - Group 3 Consonant/vowel/consonant Words

Title: Phonics Lesson Plan – Group 3 Consonant/Vowel/Consonant (CVC) Words Grade Level: Nursery 1 Duration: 30 minutes Objective: Students will be able to recognize and read Group 3 consonant/vowel/consonant (CVC) words such as 'fan,' 'pen,' 'sun,' and 'bug.' Materials: - Flashcards with CVC words (fan, pen, sun, bug, etc.) - Small whiteboard and dry-erase markers - Picture cards corresponding to CVC words - Magnetic letters or letter tiles - Worksheets with CVC word matching and tracing - Singing phonics songs (if possible, a recording or a guide to phonics songs) Introduction (5 minutes): 1. Warm-Up Song: Start with a phonics song that focuses on consonant and vowel sounds. Encourage students to sing along to set a fun and engaging atmosphere. 2. Briefly review Group 1 and Group 2 words to scaffold learning. Elicit a few CVC examples from the class. Direct Instruction (10 Minutes): 1. Introduction to Group 3 CVC Words: - Write the first word (e.g., 'fan') on the whiteboard. - Break it down: “f” – “a” – “n”. - Highlight the consonant/vowel/consonant structure and blend the sounds together to form the word. - Repeat with each word (pen, sun, bug). 2. Flashcards and Picture Cards: - Show flashcards of each CVC word and corresponding picture cards. - Say each word aloud and have students repeat after you. - Show a picture and ask students to identify and say the corresponding word. Guided Practice (10 Minutes): 1. Blending Practice: - Use magnetic letters or tiles. Place the letters for 'fan' separately (f, a, n) and have students help blend them together. - Repeat with other words ('pen,' 'sun,' 'bug') allowing students to take turns blending the sounds. 2. Matching Game: - Distribute picture cards and corresponding CVC word cards to pairs of students. - Have them match each picture card with the correct CVC word card. Independent Practice (5 Minutes): 1. CVC Worksheets: - Provide worksheets where students can trace CVC words and match them to pictures. - Walk around the room to offer support and ensure students understand the activities. Conclusion and Review (5 Minutes): 1. Quick Review Game: - Hold up a flashcard and call on students to say the word. - Show pictures and have students say or even spell out the corresponding word. 2. Closing Reflection: - Recap the importance of understanding CVC words. - End with a brief, fun activity such as a song or a quick dance to the phonics song. Assessment: - Monitor students during practice and independent work. - Use informal assessment through observation and participation in activities. - Collect and review worksheets to gauge understanding. Differentiation: - For advanced learners: Introduce a few more challenging CVC words or CVC sentences. - For struggling learners: Provide additional one-on-one support and use more visual aids to reinforce learning concepts. Note: Always make sure to keep the atmosphere positive and encouragement-filled to foster a love for reading and phonics!
