Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Phonics - ntroduction To Group 1 Consonant/vowel/consonant

**Lesson Plan for Nursery 1: Introduction to Group 1 Consonant-Vowel-Consonant Words** **Objective:** By the end of the lesson, students should be able to recognize and pronounce simple Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words. **Materials Needed:** - Flashcards with CVC words (e.g., cat, bat, hat, map, cap) - Picture cards corresponding to the CVC words - Alphabet chart - Whiteboard and markers - Phonics songs and rhymes - Small whiteboards and markers for each student - CVC word puzzles - Craft materials for a hands-on activity (e.g., paper, crayons, scissors, glue) **Lesson Duration:** 45 minutes ### Lesson Outline: **1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)** - Begin with a short phonics song or rhyme to get the students excited and engaged. - Review the alphabet chart, focusing on the letter sounds. **2. Introduction to CVC Words (10 minutes)** - Explain that we are going to learn about special kinds of words called "CVC" words, which have three letters: a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant. - Show examples of CVC words using flashcards: cat, bat, hat, map, cap. - Discuss the sounds of each letter in the examples. Emphasize the individual sounds before blending them together to form the word (e.g., /k/ /a/ /t/ makes "cat"). **3. CVC Blending Exercise (10 minutes)** - Demonstrate blending sounds into words using the whiteboard. - Write a CVC word (e.g., "bat") on the board. - Point to each letter as you say its sound (/b/ /a/ /t/). - Slowly blend the sounds together to say the whole word ("bat"). - Have students repeat the blending process with you. - Practice with several examples to ensure understanding. **4. Interactive Activity: Matching Game (10 minutes)** - Provide each student with a set of flashcards (with words) and picture cards (corresponding to the words). - Instruct the students to match the word cards with the correct picture cards. - Move around the room to assist students and check for understanding. **5. Hands-On Craft Activity (7 minutes)** - Have students create their own CVC word cards. - Provide each student with paper, crayons, scissors, and glue. - Ask them to draw a picture of a simple CVC word (e.g., cat) and write the word next to the picture with your guidance. - Display the finished cards in the classroom to encourage pride in their work. **6. Review and Conclusion (3 minutes)** - Gather students together in a circle. - Recap the lesson by asking a few students to share their CVC words and pictures. - Sing a phonics song together to wrap up the lesson on a fun note. **Evaluation:** - Observe students' participation in blending exercises and the matching game. - Assess the correctness of their matching during the interactive activity. - Review students' CVC word cards to ensure understanding and proper letter formation. **Extension Activities:** - Provide parents with information about CVC words and suggest simple CVC word books for at-home practice. - Incorporate CVC word games (e.g., Bingo or Memory) during future lessons to reinforce learning. **Note to Teacher:** - Encourage a positive learning environment. Praise students for their efforts and provide gentle correction when necessary. - Be patient and repeat activities if needed to ensure all students grasp the concept.
