Spelling - k

The lesson plan is designed to help children grasp the concept of spelling words with the 'k' sound, focusing on when to use 'k' instead of 'c'. The yellow slides are meant for display on the whiteboard, while the white slides contain activities that can be printed for use if exercise books are not available. The teacher introduces the lesson by presenting words that contain the 'k' sound, such as 'Kent', 'sky', and 'skip', encouraging the children to read them aloud. The rule that 'k' is used instead of 'c' before the letters 'e', 'i', and 'y' is then explained, highlighting the correct spelling of words like 'frisky' and 'kept'.

Subsequent activities involve a variety of engaging tasks designed to reinforce the spelling rules. In Activity 1, children are asked to add dots and dashes to represent single and multiple letters that make one sound, respectively. They then self-check their work with the provided answers. Activity 2 challenges the children to correct misspelled words, such as 'scetch' to 'sketch', and use them in sentences. Further exercises include unscrambling jumbled words, finding hidden words in a letter grid, and completing sentences with the appropriate word containing the 'k' sound. The lesson also incorporates interactive games like the Caterpillar game, where children build spelling caterpillars by correctly spelling words, and a spell check segment where they practice spelling words dictated by the teacher. The lesson concludes with reminders for homework and additional printable activities for further practice.
