Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Phonics - Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds Z, W, Ng, V, Oo, Oo

### Lesson Plan: Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds (z, w, ng, v, oo, OO) #### Class: Nursery 1 #### Subject: Phonics #### Duration: 60 minutes #### Topic: Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds (z, w, ng, v, oo, OO) --- ### Objectives: 1. **Introduce** the sounds associated with the letters z, w, ng, v, oo, and OO. 2. **Recognize** and **differentiate** these sounds through listening and speaking. 3. **Write** the phonetic sounds correctly. ### Materials Needed: - Flashcards with the letters z, w, ng, v, oo, OO. - A whiteboard or chalkboard. - Markers or chalk. - Worksheets with practice lines and letters. - Jolly Phonics song or audio for the specific sounds. - Picture cards illustrating objects starting with each sound. - Letter formation tracing books or worksheets. --- ### Activities: #### 1. Warm-Up (10 minutes) **Introduction Song:** - Sing a familiar introductory song to get the children excited and focused. **Introduction to Sounds:** - Use Jolly Phonics songs or audio to introduce the sounds z, w, ng, v, oo, OO. - Show the letter flashcards and say each sound out loud, encouraging students to repeat. #### 2. Sound Identification and Practice (20 minutes) **Flashcard Game:** - Hold up flashcards one by one and ask the students to say the sound together. - Show picture cards (e.g., zebra for z, whale for w) and ask students to identify the first sound. **Interactive Sound Practice:** - Divide the class into small groups. - Each group gets a set of flashcards and picture cards. - Students match the sound flashcards to the corresponding picture cards. #### 3. Writing Practice (20 minutes) **Whiteboard Demonstration:** - Write each sound (z, w, ng, v, oo, OO) on the board. - Show correct letter formation and guide them through the motions. **Guided Writing Practice:** - Distribute worksheets with practice lines and the letters. - Walk around the room and assist students as they practice writing each sound. **Tracing Books:** - Provide tracing books or additional worksheets. Allow students to trace over the letters multiple times, helping them to get comfortable with the shapes. #### 4. Reinforcement Activities (10 minutes) **Sound Action Game:** - Assign actions to each sound (e.g., zzz like a buzzing bee for "z"). - Call out a sound and have the students perform the corresponding action. **Listen and Find:** - Play a listening game where you play sounds or say the sounds, and students must find the correct flashcard and hold it up. #### 5. Conclusion (5 minutes) **Recap:** - Quickly review each of the sounds and their corresponding actions or pictures. - Encourage students to recall and say each sound together as a group. **Positive Reinforcement:** - Praise the students for their efforts and participation. - Hand out stickers or a small reward for excellent participation and neat writing. #### Homework/Additional Practice: - Send home a worksheet for students to practice the sounds with their parents. - Encourage parents to help kids find objects around the house that start with each sound and practice writing them together. --- ### Assessment: - Observe students during classroom activities to gauge their understanding and ability to write the sounds. - Collect worksheets to check correct letter formation and provide feedback. - Note participation in games and activities to assess understanding and recognition of sounds. --- ### Follow-Up: - Plan a review session in the next class to reinforce the sounds learned. - Introduce new sounds gradually, while regularly revisiting previously learned sounds. --- By keeping the lesson highly interactive and providing plenty of opportunities for practice, students will become more confident and proficient in recognizing and writing these phonetic sounds.
