Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Phonics - Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds C/k/ck, E, H, R, M, D

Lessonplan for teaching Nursery 1 students to write the Jolly Phonics sounds 'c/k/ck', 'e', 'h', 'r', 'm', and 'd'. The lesson plan features interactive and engaging activities tailored for young learners. --- ### Lesson Plan: Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds **Grade:** Nursery 1 **Topic:** Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds: c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d **Duration:** 45 minutes **Resources Needed:** Flashcards with letters, whiteboard and markers, writing worksheets, crayons, phonics songs, and props or toys starting with the target sounds **Objectives:** 1. Recognize and pronounce the phonics sounds: c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d. 2. Identify words that start with these sounds. 3. Practice writing the letters associated with these sounds. ### **Lesson Outline** **1. Warm-Up Activity (5 minutes)** - Sing the alphabet song to warm up. - Introduce each letter sound with a brief visual and auditory prompt. Show a flashcard with the letter and say the sound aloud. **2. Introduction to Phonics Sounds (10 minutes)** - Introduce each sound (c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d) one at a time using flashcards and associated words or pictures. - For example, ‘c/k/ck’ can be introduced with pictures of ‘cat’, ‘kite’, and ‘duck’. - Encourage students to repeat the sounds clearly after you. **3. Writing Practice (15 minutes)** - Distribute worksheets with large letters for tracing. - Demonstrate on the whiteboard how to write each letter. Focus on one letter at a time: - *‘c’ and ‘k’ can be tricky; explain that they often make the same sound.* - *Explain ‘ck’ as a digraph that appears at the end of short vowel words like ‘duck’.* - Show the formation of each letter slowly and clearly. - Allow students to trace and then try writing the letters on their own. Circulate and offer assistance as needed. **4. Interactive Song and Movement (5 minutes)** - Play a phonics song that includes the target sounds. - Encourage students to sing along and perform corresponding actions (e.g., pretending to cut for 'c', flapping arms for 'k' like a kite, quacking for 'ck'). **5. Letter Sound Hunt (5 minutes)** - Organize a ‘Letter Sound Hunt’ where you place objects or toys around the classroom that start with the key sounds. - Call out a sound and have students find and bring an object that starts with that sound to the front of the class. **6. Wrap-Up and Review (5 minutes)** - Quickly review each letter and its sound with flashcards one more time. - Praise students for their efforts and highlight some great work they did during the lesson. - Remind students of the sounds and encourage them to see if they can find more words that start with these sounds at home. **Assessment:** - Observe students during the writing activity to ensure they are forming letters correctly. - Listen to their pronunciation of the sounds during the singing and the sound hunt. **Homework:** - Send home a simple worksheet for parents to help students practice writing the letters and finding objects around the house that start with these sounds. ### Notes: - Be sure to maintain a patient and encouraging atmosphere, as this age group can vary widely in their developmental stages. - Use positive reinforcement to build confidence and make learning enjoyable. --- Feel free to adjust any part of this plan to better fit your classroom needs or the specific abilities of your students. The goal is to create a fun, engaging, and educational experience for these young learners.
