Spelling - Syllables, consonants, vowels
Goals
- To increase student awareness of the sound sequences in one syllable words.
- To highlight that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and letters.
- To practise dividing words into syllables.
Lesson plan
In this lesson, students will work through three activities. The first two involve categorising words according to syllable structure and number of syllables, while the third activity is a class competition requiring students to draw on their vocabulary knowledge.
