Session Title |
Reviewing Letters, Sounds, Vowels, and Word Building |
|
Objective |
∙ To revise and reinforce the key concepts of letters, sounds, vowels, blending consonants and vowels, and simple word building. ∙ Help students gain confidence in recognizing letters and their sounds, blending them together, and building words. ∙ Provide opportunities for practice and assessment to identify areas where students may need further support. |
|
Topics/Concept |
∙ Letters and their sounds. ∙ Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and their sounds. ∙ Blending consonants and vowels to form simple words. ∙ Simple word building using a variety of consonants and vowels. ∙ Reviewing pronunciation and spelling. |
|
Material Required |
∙ Flashcards with letters, vowels, and simple words. ∙ Whiteboard or chart paper. ∙ Markers for writing and drawing. ∙ Word-building worksheets or activities (e.g., matching letters, filling in missing letters). ∙ Picture cards to match words (e.g., dog, cat, sun) |

Session Plan 90 Min
Intro Activity
∙ Greet students and briefly review what was covered in the previous sessions.
∙ Have a quick discussion: Ask students to name any vowels and consonants they remember.
∙ Show flashcards with random letters (both vowels and consonants) and ask students to say the sounds aloud.
Main Topic/ Activity
Activity 1: Letter and Sound Review
-
Show flashcards with random letters (A, B, C, D, E, etc.) and ask students to say the sound each letter makes.
-
You can also randomly flash consonants and vowels to see how quickly students can recall both their sounds and their names.
-
Example: Show "S," ask students to say the sound "/s/," then show "A" and ask them to say "/a/."
Activity 2: Vowel Review and Blending
-
Review the vowel sounds (A, E, I, O, U) by showing flashcards and having students say the sound.
-
Ask students to combine vowels with different consonants, and write them on the board:
-
E.g., "S + A = SA," "M + O = MO," "P + I = PI," and so on.
-
Have students repeat the words aloud as they form them, then write them down in their notebooks.
-
Use some simple word examples to practice blending and reinforce the pronunciation.
Activity 3: Word Building and Spelling Practice
-
Ask students to write down simple words using the letters they've learned so far. Start with easy words like "cat," "dog," "pen," "map," "sun," etc.
-
Call on students to come to the board and write the word correctly after hearing the sounds.
-
After writing the words on the board, ask the students to sound them out and practice saying them together as a class.
Activity 4: Word Match Game
-
Prepare a set of picture cards with simple objects (e.g., a cat, dog, sun, mat, cup) and a matching set of word cards (e.g., "cat," "dog," "sun," "mat," "cup").
-
Ask students to match the picture card with the corresponding word card.
-
As each pair is matched, ask the student to pronounce the word and spell it out loud.
Activity 5: Group Work Building Challenge
-
Divide the class into small groups. Give each group a set of letters (consonants and vowels).
-
Ask them to form as many words as they can within a set time (5-10 minutes).
-
Once the time is up, each group will share the words they formed and pronounce them together.
-
This will help them practice blending letters, sounding out words, and writing them quickly.
Activity 6: Quick Review Quiz
-
Conduct a short quiz using flashcards or oral questions:
-
Show a random flashcard and ask the student to say the letter and its sound.
-
Show a flashcard with a simple word and ask the student to pronounce it.
-
Ask students to spell simple words from the list (e.g., "cat," "sun").
Expected Learning Outcome:
Knowledge building-
∙ Students will confidently recognize the sounds of consonants and vowels.
∙ They will have a clearer understanding of how to blend consonants and vowels to form words.
∙ Students will demonstrate familiarity with simple words, spelling, and pronunciation.
Skill Building-
-
Improved word-building skills through blending consonants and vowels.
-
Enhanced pronunciation and spelling abilities.
-
Reinforced vocabulary and reading skills through review activities.
Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks
-
Flashcard Review: Show flashcards with letters and ask students to identify and pronounce the sound of each letter.
-
Word Writing: Ask students to write and spell simple words (e.g., "cat," "dog") and then read them aloud.
-
Picture Match: Show a picture of an object and ask students to write the word (e.g., show a picture of a sun, and they write "sun").
-
Spelling Test: Call out a simple word (e.g., "pen") and ask students to write it down.
Follow up Tasks
- Encourage students to practice reading and writing the words they’ve learned so far at home.
-
In the next session, introduce new words with different letter combinations or begin introducing short sentences using these words.
-
Continue to review sounds, letters, and word-building in future sessions to reinforce learning.
