### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Objective Introduction:**
- Greet students warmly.
- Introduce the lesson objectives: "Today, we are going to learn about some special sound patterns - ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei.’ We will practice how to read words with these sounds and understand where to use them."
2. **Engage with a Quick Activity:**
- Write the words "boil," "toy," and "veil" on the board.
- Ask students to read the words aloud and identify the common sounds they hear.
- Explain that these words have the sound patterns ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei.’
### Direct Instruction (15 minutes)
3. **Explain the Sound Patterns:**
- Write 'oi,' 'oy,' and 'ei' on the whiteboard.
- Discuss ‘oi’ and ‘oy’:
- ‘oi’ is typically found in the middle of words (e.g., coin, boil).
- 'oy' is usually found at the end of words (e.g., boy, toy).
- Discuss ‘ei’:
- 'ei' can be found in both positions (middle or end) of words, and it can have different pronunciations based on the word (e.g., veil, reign, weight).
4. **Provide Examples:**
- Write more examples on the board and have the class read them together:
- ‘oi’ words: coin, boil, noise, join
- ‘oy’ words: boy, toy, enjoy, annoy
- ‘ei’ words: veil, ceiling, sleigh, weight
### Guided Practice (20 minutes)

- After sorting, have each group read the words aloud and explain their reasoning.
### Independent Practice (10 minutes)
