Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Phonics - Sound Patterns ‘ch’ And ‘sh’

### Lesson Plan: Sound Patterns ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ #### Grade Level: Primary 1 #### Subject: Phonics #### Duration: 45 minutes #### Topic: Sound Patterns ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ --- #### **Objectives:** 1. **Recognize** and **identify** the sounds ‘ch’ and ‘sh’. 2. **Differentiate** between words that contain the ‘ch’ sound and the ‘sh’ sound. 3. **Read** and **write** simple words containing ‘ch’ and ‘sh’. --- #### **Materials:** - Chart paper/Whiteboard - Markers - Flashcards with ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ words (e.g., chair, ship, cheese, fish) - Worksheet with exercises for ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ sounds - Picture book or story featuring many ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ words - Audio recordings of words with ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ sounds (optional) - Craft materials for a hands-on activity (scissors, glue, colored paper) --- #### **Lesson Procedure:** **1. Introduction (5 minutes):** - Start by discussing what sounds the students know. Give examples like cat, dog, etc. - Introduce the sounds for the day: ‘ch’ makes a /tʃ/ sound, and ‘sh’ makes a /ʃ/ sound. - Write the letters ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ on the board, and say the sounds out loud several times. **2. Direct Instruction (10 minutes):** - Display flashcards with ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ words. - Pronounce each word clearly, emphasizing the ‘ch’ or ‘sh’ sound. - Ask the students to repeat the words. - Explain the difference between the two sounds, showing where the sound is made in the mouth. **3. Guided Practice (10 minutes):** - Show a mix of pictures and words. Ask students to categorize them into ‘ch’ or ‘sh’ sounds. - Use a Venn diagram on the board to place words with ‘ch’ on one side, ‘sh’ on the other side, and discuss any overlaps. **4. Independent Practice (10 minutes):** - Hand out a worksheet where students match pictures with the ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ words. - Have students complete exercises like filling in the blanks with either ‘ch’ or ‘sh’ to complete words. **5. Story Time (5 minutes):** - Read a short story or a picture book that includes a lot of ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ words. - Ask students to raise their hands every time they hear a ‘ch’ or ‘sh’ word. **6. Hands-On Activity (5 minutes):** - Let students create a mini booklet. Provide pre-printed sheets with images and have them write ‘ch’ or ‘sh’ under each picture, then color them. --- #### **Assessment:** - Observe students during the guided and independent practice. - Review the worksheets to ensure understanding. - Listen for correct pronunciation during the story activity and any volunteered participations. --- #### **Closure (5 minutes):** - Review key points of the lesson: the ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ sounds. - Ask students to give examples from their own lives where they hear these sounds. - Praise their effort and participation. --- #### **Follow-Up:** - Introduce weekly practice of new words containing ‘ch’ and ‘sh’. - Suggest books and songs that emphasize these sounds. --- By focusing on the recognition, differentiation, and use of the 'ch' and 'sh' sounds, this lesson plan aims to build a strong foundational understanding of these common phonemes for Primary 1 students.
