Learning Intention

Students to be able blend sounds to form words.

Success Criteria

Students will sound out words in order to blend them and identify the blends.

Introduction

Introduce learning intentions and success criteria

Discuss that picture cards will be used as the basis of lesson.

Hand-out paddle pop sticks to each pair.

Body

I do:

Teacher holds up a card. For example a picture of a tree. Teacher sounds out “T/R/EE. Then says Tree. Teacher holds up a paddle-pop stick for each sound to indicate there are 3 sounds to blend together.

Repeat

We do: Teacher holds up another card and class sounds out the word to identify it. Class identifies how many paddle pop sticks to hold up.

Repeat

You do: Teacher hands out picture cards to pairs (use elbow buddies). 1 per pair. Students lay out their paddle pop sticks to indicate how many sounds they think need to be blended on the floor in front of them.

Students then go around the class and share their picture and sound it out for the class.

Procedure:

1.     Show students a picture (e.g. bat) and sound out the word together as a class

2.     Ask what the first sound they hear is (e.g. b)

3.     Ask students if they can think of any other words that end in at e.g. r for rat, c for cat

4.     Make there first sound of the word a few times before adding it to the ending letters

5.     Repeat with different pictures

Materials:

Pictures

List of words (prompts for yourself)

Small groups at a time. Place coloured dots in a line (choose as many as you would like). Give the children a word (dog). The children will have to identify each sound by jumping to different dots. For example, d (student will jump on the first dot), o (the student will jump on the second dot) etc. Make sure students are verbally identifying the sounds to you and the group.
