Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: K1.3.3.1.4 - stretch and count the number of sounds in a word and blend them together.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Stretch out the sounds in simple moral words such as “love”, “good”, “care” and “help” while clapping or counting the number of sounds they hear.
Count the number of individual sounds in a spoken word of two or three sounds (for example, “go” has 2 sounds, “good” has 3 sounds).
Blend two or three stretched sounds together to say the whole word correctly (for example, /g/ /oo/ /d/ blended gives “good”).
Identify words that have a silent letter, such as “love” and “time”, and recognise that the silent letter makes no sound when the word is spoken.
Work with a partner to play a sound-stretching and sound-blending game using religious and moral words.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Teacher holds a rubber band and model how to stretch examples of moral words while pronunciation so as to identify all the sound. List the words on the board or on cut out papers. As learners practice the select words, write the sounds identified on the board. Have learners in pairs play sound blending games where one stretches out the sounding of a word for the
other to blend the sound to make out the word. Have learners repeat the activity with different words and introduce the concept of silent letters to learners e.g. love, time, make, etc.
