Learning Objectives

Indicator: B6.2.2.1.2 - Read ccvcc, cccvc words and multisyllabic words when reading continuous texts.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and pronounce ccvcc words (e.g., trust, striped, crust) and cccvc words (e.g., scrap, sprite, splash) correctly when they appear in a short text.
Decode multisyllabic words (e.g., communication, immediate, information) by breaking them into syllables and blending the syllables back together.
Read a short continuous passage aloud with accuracy, pausing correctly at full stops and commas, while correctly pronouncing ccvcc, cccvc and multisyllabic words.
Use context clues in a sentence to confirm the meaning and pronunciation of unfamiliar multisyllabic words.
Work in pairs to give and receive feedback on pronunciation, building confidence in reading aloud.
