Students will be able to identify and use consonant blends with the letter L to make words.
Lesson
Introduction (10 minutes)
- Ask students to identify what letter comes after K in the alphabet.
- Ask students to make the L sound.
- Tell students that today they will be learning L blends.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher Modeling (10 minutes)
- Affix the images to the board.
- Under each picture, write the L blend (such as FL, CL, or GL) in one color and the remainder of the word in black.
- Tell the students that the FL blend is at the beginning of the word flower, and point to the blend.
- Repeat this with the other words.
Guided Practice/Interactive Modeling (10 minutes)
- Give each student 5 precut Fun With Blends templates printed on white paper. Before the lesson, write each L blend on the templates with the word endings.
- Have the students color all the blends with one color.
- Ask your students to color the endings in another color.
- When your students have finished coloring, encourage them to match the L blends with the correct endings to make the same 5 words presented during the introduction.
- Walk around the classroom as the students match the words, and have them say the words to you.
Independent Working Time (10 minutes)
- Give each student a Fun With Blends worksheet.
- Read the instructions to the students.
