</td><td style="height: 130.4px;">∙ Help students blend consonants and vowels to form longer words (more than 3 letters).

∙ Strengthen students’ spelling, reading, and writing abilities by using familiar and new word patterns.

∙ Develop students' ability to combine vowels and consonants to create new words in different contexts.

</td><td style="height: 130.4px;">∙ Blending vowels and consonants to create 4-letter and 5-letter words.

∙ Spelling practice with words that include consonant blends (like "st," "pl," "br," etc.).

∙ Enhancing pronunciation and reading fluency by working with a wider range of words.

</div>**Session Plan 90 Min**

**Intro Activity**

- Greet the students and quickly review the words learned in Session 9.
- Briefly go over some of the vowel and consonant combinations they’ve already practiced.
- Show flashcards with some consonant blends (e.g., "st," "pl," "br") and ask students to blend them with vowels to make new words (e.g., "st + a + r = star," "pl + a + t + e = plate").

**Main Topic/ Activity**

**Activity 1: Blending Words with Consonant Blends (4-Letter Words)**

- Start with blending consonants and vowels into 4-letter words, adding more complexity by using consonant blends.
    
    
    - **"st + a + r = star"**
    - **"br + i + ck = brick"**
    - **"pl + a + t + e = plate"**
    - **"f + i + sh = fish"**
    - **"j + u + m + p = jump"**
    - **"bl + u + e = blue"**
- Example words:

- Write these words on the board and have students read them out loud, focusing on blending the sounds.
- Encourage students to break down each word into parts (e.g., for "fish": "f" + "i" + "sh") and then say the full word.

**Activity 2: Word Building with Consonant Blends (5-Letter Words**

Move to slightly longer words by introducing 5-letter words with blends.

- - **Example words:**
        
        
        - **"st + o + p + s = stops"**
        - **"bl + i + nd = blind"**
        - **"br + e + ad = bread"**
        - **"cl + a + mp = clamp"**
        - **"pl + a + n = plan"**

Ask students to blend the sounds in these words and practice reading them aloud.

Have students write these words in their notebooks and practice pronunciation.

**Activity 3: Writing and Drawing Longer Words**

- Give students paper and markers.
- Ask them to choose one of the new words they’ve learned (e.g., “star,” “fish,” “jump”) and draw a picture to represent that word.
- After drawing, students will write the word next to their picture and practice saying the word aloud as they write it.

**Activity 4: Group Word-Building Challenge**

- Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of consonant and vowel flashcards, including some consonant blends.
- Set a timer for 10 minutes. During this time, each group will try to create as many 4- and 5-letter words as they can using the cards.
- Once the time is up, each group presents their words to the class and pronounces them correctly.

**Activity 5: Word Search or Word Match Game**

- Create a word search or word match activity with the words learned in this session (e.g., "star," "jump," "bread").
- Students will work in pairs or small groups to find and match words to pictures or meanings.

**Expected Learning Outcome:**

**Knowledge building-**

∙ Students will learn to blend consonants and vowels to form longer words with 4-5 letters.

∙ They will recognize consonant blends and use them to create new words.

**Skill Building-**

∙ Improved reading and writing fluency.

∙ Strengthened vocabulary as students build more complex words.

∙ Enhanced pronunciation and spelling ability.

 **Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks**

∙ Show a picture of an object (e.g., a "fish") and ask students to write the corresponding word and pronounce it aloud.

∙ Ask students to form 4- and 5-letter words using a mix of consonants and vowels, then read them aloud.

∙ Review some of the words from the session by showing flashcards and asking students to write and pronounce the word.

**Follow up Tasks**

∙ Introduce sentences using the new 4- and 5-letter words (e.g., “The fish swims,” “I can jump high”).

∙ Continue practicing word-building with more complex words that include consonant blends like "str," "spl," etc.

∙ In future sessions, use these words in simple reading exercises and stories.
