1. Topic-

The Phonic Approach: The phonic method aims to build up an understanding
of how our alphabetic system works -
of the letters and the sounds they represent. This knowledge helps
young learners to tackle words they don't know.
Today we shall be using the phonics approach to:
1. teach the children easy consonants (namely: t,d
2. teach the children short vowels (namely: a,i - used as the first
letter in the word)
(Note: this is the correct suggested sequence for introducing letters
and letter combinations in English). |

2. Content-
|
1. show and read to the learners alphabet cards that contain the
consonants, "t" and "d".
2. make sure all the learners can identify the symbols for the individual
consonants (letters) and pronounce their names (sounds).
3. show and read to the learners alphabet cards that contain the vowels,
"a" and "i".
4. make sure all the learners can identify the symbols for the individual
vowels (letters) and pronounce their names (sounds).
5. Teach the children the words "at", "add", and "it" by letting the
children sound out and read the word themselves (of flash cards).
6. Let the children trace out the consonants "t" and "d" and the vowels
"a" and "e" in the air with their fingers.
7. Let the children sound out and read the learnt words again (namely,
at, add and it).
8. Play a game with the children where they name words that start
with the learnt vowels and consonants (t,d,a,i) - and write these
names on a blackboard.
9. Let the children practice tracing the newly taught letters (t,d,a,i)
and the newly taught words (at,add,it)on a worksheet using pencils
or crayons |

3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. The learning of new letters of the alphabet.
2. The learning of new sounds (of the letters of the alphabet).
3. The learning of the spelling of three new words.
4. The building of learner self confidence. |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. To learn the proper pronunciation (and recognition of) of the
consonants "t","d" and the vowels "a","i".
2. To learn the new words "at", "add" and "it"
and the spelling there of. |

5. Materials and Aids-
|
1. alphabet flash cards
2. chalk and blackboard
3. flash cards containing new words (at, add, it)
4. worksheet
5. pencils or crayons
6. story book or short story |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Explain the children that they are going to be learning new letters
called consonants and vowels.
2. Make up a song using the consonants and vowels to be learnt and
sing it to the children.
|

|
|
B. Development-
1. show and read to the learners alphabet cards that contain the
consonants, "t" and "d".
2. make sure all the learners can identify the symbols for the individual
consonants (letters) and pronounce their names (sounds).
3. show and read to the learners alphabet cards that contain the vowels,
"a" and "i".
4. make sure all the learners can identify the symbols for the individual
vowels (letters) and pronounce their names (sounds).
5. Repeat the reading of the alphabet cards slowly whilst tracing
the letters with your finger (facing the children)
6. Teach the children the words "at", "add", and "it" by letting the
children sound out and read the word themselves (of flash cards).
7. Play a game with the children where they name words that start
with the learnt vowels and consonants (t,d,a,i) - and write these
names on a blackboard.
9. Let the children practice tracing the newly taught letters (t,d,a,i)
and the newly taught words (at,add,it)on a worksheet using pencils
or crayons |

|
|
C. Practice-
1. Let the children trace out the consonants "t" and "d" and the
vowels "a" and "e" in the air with their fingers.
2. Let the children sound out and read the learnt words again (namely,
at, add and it).
3. Play a game with the children where they name words that start
with the learnt vowels and consonants (t,d,a,i) - and write these
names on a blackboard.

D. Independent Practice-
| 1. Let the children practice tracing the newly taught letters (t,d,a,i)
and the newly taught words (at,add,it)on a worksheet using pencils
or crayons |
| |
|
|
Checking for understanding-
| 1. Test the children individually to see if they can write the new
learnt letters and words and pronounce them properly and mark their
progress off on their progress charts. |
| |
|
|
Closure-
| Read the children a short story that contains all of the newly learnt
consonants and vowels. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| Evaluate each learners outcomes by testing them individually to
see if they can pronounce, recognize and rewrite the newly taught
consonants, vowels and words. Mark their progress off on their progress
charts/assessment charts. |
