# Session 11
**Session 11**
**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)
**Methodology** - A mixture of revision activities, including verbal practice, group work, individual writing, and word games. - Focus on engaging students with interactive activities to reinforce learning.
**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 1. Flashcard Review: Show flashcards with letters and ask students to identify and pronounce the sound of each letter. 2. Word Writing: Ask students to write and spell simple words (e.g., "cat," "dog") and then read them aloud. 3. 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"). 4. 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.
