 Session Title 

 

 

 Exploring and Writing Longer Words with Vowels and Consonants 

 

 

 

 

 Objective 

 

 

 ∙ 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. 

 

 

 

 

 Topics/Concept 

 

 

 ∙ 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. 

 

 

 

 

 Material Required 

 

 

 ∙ Flashcards with consonants, vowels, and consonant blends. 

 ∙ Paper and markers for writing and drawing. 

 ∙ Word charts and word-building games. 

 ∙ Example words with 4 and 5 letters (e.g., star, plate, brick, fish, jump, blue). 

 

 

 

 

 Methodology 

 

 

 

 

 A mix of blending, reading, writing, and creative activities. 

 

 

 Encouraging students to use visual aids, sound practice, and hands-on activities to reinforce word-building. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 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.
