Forest Fun – Lesson 11
“I can blend sounds to read cvc words.”
Objective: To blend sounds to read cvc (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. (RF.K.2)
Materials: Wipe-off board, wipe-off marker and eraser, word cards
Procedures: Draw three lines in a row on a wipe-off board leaving a space between each line. Write letter b on the first line, letter a on the middle line and letter t on the last line. Touch each letter and say the sound, pausing between each one. Do this several times. Then explain that now you are going to say each sound without pausing between them. Connect the three lines to show you will not pause. Read the word “bat” by dragging out the sounds…baaaat. Then say the word bat. Have your child repeat this process to read the word bat. Give your child a high-five and say “You just read your first word!” Erase bat and continue the same process with the words cat, mat, cab, tab. Explain how every word needs a vowel and these words each have letter a in the middle.
Conclusion: Have your child read bat, cat, mat, cab and tab on word cards.
