 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  

 

 

 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.
