Lesson Plan – Phoneme
Blending
Put It Together
I found this lesson plan in the book, Phonemic Awareness Activities
for Early Readers by Wiley Blevins. It
was published by Scholastic Professional Books (1997).
Objective: To provide students with practice in orally blending phonemes.
Materials:
Favorite Class Puppet
Word List
Activity:
This activity provides students with the
opportunity to
orally blend word parts and say the word as a whole.
The
teacher/puppet tells the children that they are going to
say a word in parts. Direct
the children to listen carefully
and say the word as a whole. For
example, say /c/ /a/ /t/.
The children respond with cat. Modeling
and corrective
feedback from the puppet add to the enjoyment of the
activity. This activity can
be adjusted for students of
varying ability levels.
Level 1 -
Blend words by syllable: sail
boat = sailboat
