Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Phonics - imple Sentences With Group 3 Consonant/vowel/cons

Lesson Plan: Phonics - Simple Sentences with Group 3 CVC Words ### Topic: Simple sentences with Group 3 consonant/vowel/consonant (CVC) words ### Grade Level: Nursery 2 ### Duration: 30 minutes ### Objectives: 1. Students will identify and read Group 3 CVC words (e.g., "dog," "cat," "bug"). 2. Students will construct and read simple sentences using these words. 3. Students will develop an understanding of sentence structure. ### Materials Needed: - Flashcards with Group 3 CVC words and pictures - Sentence strip cards (pre-made simple sentences with blanks) - Whiteboard and markers - Chart paper - Picture books with simple sentences - CVC word list for Group 3 ### Introduction (5 minutes): 1. **Greeting and Warm-up:** - Greet the students and gather them in a circle. - Sing a phonics song or chant that includes some of the CVC words for Group 3 to grab their attention. ### Direct Instruction (10 minutes): 1. **Review:** - Briefly review the concept of CVC words and phonemic sounds of consonants and vowels. - Show flashcards with Group 3 CVC words (e.g., "cat," "dog," "bug," etc.). Ask students to sound out each word and blend the sounds together. 2. **Introduce Simple Sentences:** - Write a simple sentence on the whiteboard using a CVC word, such as "The cat is red." - Read the sentence out loud, pointing to each word as you read. - Explain that sentences are made of words that tell us something. ### Guided Practice (10 minutes): 1. **Sentence Strip Activity:** - Hand out sentence strip cards with pre-made sentences that have blanks (e.g., "The _ is big."). - Use flashcards of Group 3 CVC words to fill in the blanks. Read the sentences together as a class. - Invite a few students to come to the front, choose a CVC word, and fill in the blank. Have them read the new sentence. 2. **Interactive Reading:** - Show picture books with simple sentences containing Group 3 CVC words. - Read the sentences together, and ask students to point out the CVC words they recognize. ### Independent Practice (5 minutes): 1. **Matching Game:** - Spread out the flashcards with CVC words and corresponding pictures. - Allow students to come up one by one and match the words to the pictures. ### Conclusion (5 minutes): 1. **Review and Recap:** - Gather the students and review what they have learned about CVC words and simple sentences. - Ask a few students to share a simple sentence using a CVC word they learned today. 2. **Closure:** - Praise the students for their hard work and participation. - Sing a goodbye song or another phonics song to end the lesson on a positive note. ### Assessment: - Observe students during the activities to assess their understanding of CVC words and ability to construct simple sentences. - Provide feedback and support as needed. ### Differentiation: - For students who need more support, provide additional one-on-one assistance during independent practice. - For students who are ready for a challenge, introduce slightly more complex CVC words or sentences. ### Extensions: - Send home flashcards with Group 3 CVC words for practice. - Encourage parents to read simple sentences with their children at home. ### Notes: - Adjust the activities based on the students' levels and needs. - Ensure that the environment is engaging and supportive to foster a positive learning experience.
