Week 3, lesson 5 Review Day: CVCC/CCVC - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

In the fifth lesson of Week 3, students revisited and reinforced their understanding of CVCC and CCVC word structures during a phonics phase 4 review day. The lesson began with an introduction that set the stage for the day's focus, followed by a revisit to previously learned content to ensure that foundational knowledge was solid. The teaching segment of the lesson involved an exercise known as 'Sentence Substitution', where students practiced their decoding and encoding skills by substituting words within given sentences. For example, they explored variations like "There were six flowers on the desk," "There were black socks on the slug," and "There were black socks on the desk," finally arriving at "There were black flowers on the desk."

Following the teaching phase, students engaged in a 'Word Match Lines' activity designed to practice their blending and segmenting skills with CVCC and CCVC words. This hands-on activity required them to draw lines between matching words, further reinforcing their phonetic understanding. The application part of the lesson tasked students with writing captions that incorporated the word structures they had been working on. The lesson concluded with a review of the material covered, ensuring that students had ample opportunity to apply their phonics knowledge in a variety of contexts. The presentation slides used throughout the lesson provided a structured and visual way to guide students through the learning process, from introduction to conclusion.
