Lesson Plan for Primary 5 - Phonics - Sound Patterns ‘oi’, ‘oy’ And ‘ei’

Lesson plan for Primary 5 students on the topic of Sound Patterns ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei’. --- ### Lesson Plan: Sound Patterns ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei’ **Grade Level:** Primary 5 **Subject:** Phonics **Duration:** 60 minutes **Objective:** - Students will be able to recognize and pronounce the sound patterns ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei’ in words. - Students will be able to read and identify words containing these sound patterns. - Students will understand the difference in usage between 'oi' and 'oy'. **Materials:** - Whiteboard and markers - Flashcards with words containing 'oi,' 'oy,' and 'ei' - Word list handout - Worksheets with fill-in-the-blank and word matching activities - Smartboard/Projector (optional) - Sentence strips ### 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) 5. **Flashcard Activity:** - Show flashcards with individual words like "boil," "joy," "weigh," etc. - Have students read the words aloud as a class. - Ask individual students to identify the sound pattern and its position in the word. 6. **Group Work:** - Divide the class into small groups. - Give each group a mix of word cards and ask them to sort the words into categories: ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei.’ - After sorting, have each group read the words aloud and explain their reasoning. ### Independent Practice (10 minutes) 7. **Worksheet Activity:** - Distribute worksheets that contain various activities: - Fill in the blanks with ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ or ‘ei’ to complete words. - Match words with their correct pronunciation patterns. - Walk around the classroom to provide support and ensure students are on task. ### Conclusion (5 minutes) 8. **Review and Recap:** - Review the key points of the lesson. - Ask students to share one new thing they learned about ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ or ‘ei.’ 9. **Quick Exit Ticket:** - Have students write one word with each sound pattern (‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei’) on a piece of paper and turn it in as they leave. ### Assessment - Observe students during guided practice and group work. - Review their worksheets to assess understanding. - Evaluate the words shared in their exit tickets. ### Reflection - Reflect on the lesson’s effectiveness. - Note any students who may need additional support or challenges. --- This lesson plan provides a comprehensive approach to teaching sound patterns ‘oi,’ ‘oy,’ and ‘ei,’ involving direct instruction, guided practice, and independent activities to reinforce learning.
