# Lesson Plan: Phonics - Group 4 Consonant/Vowel/Consonant Words (CVC Words)
## Level: Nursery 2 (Pre-K)
## Duration: 30 minutes
### Objectives:
1. **Identify** CVC words with a focus on Group 4 consonants.
2. **Practice** the pronunciation of selected CVC words.
3. **Recognize** the letter-sound relationship.
4. **Develop** fine motor skills through writing and crafting activities.
### Materials Needed:
- Flashcards with CVC words and corresponding images (Group 4 consonants)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Alphabet magnets or letter tiles
- Worksheets with CVC words for tracing and coloring
- Glue, craft paper, and scissors
- A bag with objects or toys starting with Group 4 consonants
### Group 4 Consonants:
- Consonants: /l/, /j/, /v/
- Vowels: a, e, i, o, u
### Introduction (5 minutes):
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up**:
- Begin with a hello song to welcome the students.
2. **Introduction to the Topic**:
- Show the students the flashcards with Group 4 consonants and vowels.
- Explain that today, they will learn some new words made up of these letters.
### Main Activities (20 minutes):
1. **Phonics Drill (5 minutes)**:
- Review the sounds of /l/, /j/, and /v/ using the flashcards.
- Encourage the children to repeat after you.
2. **CVC Word Introduction (10 minutes)**:
- Introduce one word at a time using flashcards. Show the word and the picture, e.g., "lap," "lip," "vet," "jet."
- Sound out each word by segmenting the consonant, vowel, and consonant.
- Example: For "lap" -> /l/ - /a/ - /p/
- Blend the sounds together: /l/a/p/ - "lap"
- Have students repeat after you multiple times.
- Use alphabet magnets or letter tiles to build the words on a magnetic board, so students can visually piece together the sounds.
3. **Interactive Word Sorting Game (5 minutes)**:
- Place a selection of CVC word cards and picture cards on the floor or table.
- Ask the children to match the word cards to the corresponding picture cards.
- As they match, encourage them to say the word out loud.
### Hands-On Activities (5 minutes):
1. **Worksheet Activity**:
- Provide worksheets where children can trace and color CVC words.
- Guide them through the first word if necessary.
- Encourage them to say each sound as they trace the letters.
2. **Crafting Activity (If Time Permits)**:
- Give each child a piece of craft paper, glue, and scissors.
- Ask them to cut out letters from magazines or use provided letter cutouts to make CVC words.
- Glue the letters onto the paper to form words and then draw a picture to match.
### Conclusion (5 minutes):
1. **Review and Recap**:
- Call on individual students to share one word they learned and pronounce it for the class.
- Repeat the words and sounds learned.
2. **Goodbye Song**:
- Sing a goodbye song with the children to conclude the session and reinforce a positive classroom environment.
### Assessment:
- Observe and note each child's ability to identify, pronounce, and match the CVC words.
- Use the worksheet and crafting activities to assess their fine motor skills and understanding of the letter-sound relationship.
### Extensions:
- Create a phonics corner in the classroom with CVC word cards and picture cards for continued practice.
- Encourage parents to work with children on identifying CVC words at home using everyday items.
### Notes:
- Adapt the pace of the lesson according to the students' engagement level and understanding.
- Provide positive reinforcement and celebrate their attempts, even if incorrect, to foster a supportive learning environment.
