Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Phonics - Sound Patterns ‘ck’

### Lesson Plan: Phonics for Primary 1 – Sound Patterns 'ck' **Objective:** Students will be able to identify, pronounce, and use the sound pattern 'ck' in words. **Duration:** 45 minutes **Materials Needed:** - Flashcards with 'ck' words (e.g., duck, kick, block) - Whiteboard and markers - Worksheet with 'ck' word exercises - Storybook with 'ck' words - Craft materials for making a 'ck' word poster (e.g., paper, markers, glue) - Audio recording of 'ck' words for listening exercise ### Lesson Breakdown: **1. Warm-Up (5 minutes):** - Begin with a brief interactive session where students are asked to brainstorm words they already know that contain 'ck'. Write these words on the whiteboard. - Play a quick game of “I Spy” with 'ck' words around the classroom environment. **2. Introduction to 'ck' Sound Pattern (10 minutes):** - Explain that the 'ck' sound usually comes at the end of a word following a short vowel sound. - Use flashcards to show and pronounce 'ck' words. Emphasize the 'ck' sound. - Encourage students to repeat each word after you. **3. Guided Practice (10 minutes):** - Write several 'ck' words on the whiteboard (e.g., luck, snack, quick, black). - Call up students one by one to underline the 'ck' in each word and say the word aloud. - Have a short choral reading where the whole class repeats the words together. **4. Story Time (10 minutes):** - Read a short storybook that contains 'ck' words. Pause occasionally to highlight these words, ensuring students can see the text. - Ask students to raise their hands or make a sound whenever they hear a 'ck' word. **5. Hands-On Activity (15 minutes):** - Distribute worksheets with exercises. The worksheet could include matching 'ck' words to pictures, filling in the blanks, or circling 'ck' words from a list. - Once the worksheet is completed, students will create a poster with a partner where they draw and write as many 'ck' words as they can think of. - Allow students to decorate their posters with drawings related to the 'ck' words. **6. Closing and Review (5 minutes):** - Review the 'ck' words learned during the lesson. - Give a quick quiz where you say a word and students write it down on their mini whiteboards or paper. - Collect all materials and congratulate students on their good work and participation. - Finish with a repeat-after-me chant of 'ck' words to reinforce the sound. ### Homework: - Assign students to find at least five 'ck' words from their favorite books or around their home and bring them to the next class to share. ### Additional Notes: - Be patient and provide plenty of positive reinforcement. - Ensure that shy or struggling students are gently encouraged and supported. - Adapt the activities to fit the specific needs of your class, ensuring each student is engaged and learning effectively. This lesson plan allows students to explore the 'ck' sound pattern through a variety of engaging activities, supporting different learning styles and reinforcing their understanding of phonics in a fun and interactive way.
