The Model Lesson Plan

By: Dr. Ann T. Licata

Pupil: ________________________ Teacher: ____________________________

Date: ________________________ Duration of the Lesson: 40 minutes

Curriculum Area: Reading

Topic: Phonics - The reading of /o/ in words, sentences, a paragraph,and story

Grade Level: Grade ____

A. Goal(s):

This lesson is designed to help the pupil decode words containing the letter o when it is followed by a consonant and silent e.

B. Performance Objectives:

1. Given a list of words containing vowel sounds and four sets of phonograms depicting the /o/, the pupil will auditorily discriminate /o/ in the initial and medial positions of paired words by saying a key word and telling whether the beginning and medial sounds in the words sound the same or different for four out of four sets.

2. Given four sets of phonograms depicting the /o/, the pupil will visually discriminate the letters o consonant e pattern in the lists of words by underlining the letters which are the same in all the words.

3. Given a set of words, the pupil will discriminate the letters in the o consonant e pattern using his tactile and kinesthetic senses by tracing and copying the phonogram correctly in four words.

4. Given a set of phonograms and a different initial consonant for each word, the pupil will orally blend the words by substituting the first letter for four out of four sets using a different phonogram for each set.

5. Given four sets of phonograms, the pupil will generalize the phonics rule regarding the phonogram o consonant e by telling me the rule one time without any help from me.

6. Given three sentences to read, the pupil will read the sentences and select words which have the o consonant e pattern by underlining them all correctly.

7. Given a paragraph which contains words having the o consonant e pattern, the pupil will decode those words by reading those words in the paragraph aloud correctly without any help from me.

8. Given a story which contains words having the o consonant e pattern, the pupil will decode those words by reading those words in sections of the story aloud correctly without any help from me.

9. Given a worksheet from a phonics book, the pupil will complete the worksheet which is composed of six incomplete sentences containing choices of words spelled with the letters o consonant e pattern, by circling and writing the correct word into the sentences for at least four out of the five sentences.
