PERIOD 1 AND 2: Identification, sounding and spelling words with double consonants (ll, mm, tt)
S/N | STEPS | TEACHER’S ACTIVITY | PUPILS ACTIVITY |
1 | INTRODUCTION | - Writes the word ‘FLOSS’ on the board - asks the pupils who had ever seen floss before and explains that it is used to clean our teeth. She also explains that ‘FLOSS’ happens to use a pretty special spelling pattern. It is spelt with two ‘s’ or ‘double letters’ - Informs the pupils that today we’ll be practicing reading and spelling other words that also use double letters(ll, mm, tt) | Pupils observe, learn and participate |
2 | EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION/TEACHER MODELLING | - points out to the word ‘FLOSS’ and points out that the letter o makes a short ‘o’ sound - tells the pupils that they will be taught a new spelling rule today called the ‘FLOSS RULE’ which states that if you hear the /f/, /l/, /s/ or /z/ sound after a short vowel sound at the end of a one syllable word, then you double the ending letters -Reviews the concept of a syllable with the class by saying a single syllable word aloud and clapping for the syllable - demonstrates reading and spelling another double letter word such as ‘fall’ pointing out both the short a and the /l/ at the end | Pupils observe, learn and participate |
3 | GUIDED PRACTICE | - pass out the mini white-boards and dry erase markers to the pupils - writes out the following words on the board: sell, pull, drill, doll, nettle, bottle - point to each word and asks the pupils to write it on their board, then circle double letters and underline the short vowel -repeats the process for each word | - Pupils observe, learn and participate |

FLOSS WORDS
FLOSS rule: If you can hear the /f/, /l/, /s/, or /z/ sound after a short vowel sound at the end of a one syllable word, then you double the ending letters:
Read the words in the word bank. Sort the words into ones that follow the FLOSS rule and ones that do not.
