## Warm-Up: (5-10 minutes)
1. **Phonics Song:** Begin with a catchy phonics song that includes consonant and vowel sounds. Encourage students to sing along and mimic the sounds.
2. **Review Previous Letters and Sounds:** Quickly go over previously learned letters and sounds to refresh students' memory.
## Introduction: (5 minutes)
1. **Introduce Group 6 CVC Words:**
- Write Group 6 consonants and vowels on the whiteboard (e.g., 'h,' 'm,' 'p,' 'c,' 'r,' 'a').
- Explain that these letters can form simple, three-letter words called CVC words.
## Direct Instruction: (10 minutes)
1. **Modeling CVC Word Formation:**
- Use the whiteboard to write a CVC word like 'hat'.
- Break down the word into individual sounds: /h/, /a/, /t/.
- Blend the sounds together slowly, then say the word faster: "h-a-t, hat!"
2. **Practice with Flashcards and Visual Aids:**
- Show a CVC flashcard and a corresponding picture (e.g., a picture of a hat with the word 'hat').
- Encourage students to repeat each word after you.
## Guided Practice: (10 minutes)
1. **CVC Word Blending Activity:**
- Provide each student with a set of CVC flashcards.
- Say a word out loud (e.g., 'cat') and have students find and show the corresponding flashcard.
- Blend the word together as a class.
2. **Interactive Game:**
- Play a simple matching game where students match picture cards to CVC word flashcards.
## Independent Practice: (5 minutes)
1. **Worksheet Activity:**
- Hand out worksheets where students can trace and write Group 6 CVC words.
- Students will trace the letters, write the words on their own, and color the matching pictures.
## Closing: (5 minutes)
1. **Review and Recap:**
- Quickly review the CVC words learned during the lesson.
- Ask a few students to come up and share one CVC word and corresponding picture.
2. **Homework Assignment:**
- Send home a small worksheet or a flashcard set for students to practice their Group 6 CVC words with their parents.
## Assessment:
- Observe students during the lesson, noting their ability to recognize and blend the CVC words.
- Check the independent practice worksheets for accuracy.
## Reflection:
- Reflect on which activities were most engaging and effective.
- Determine if any students need additional support in certain areas.
