Learning Objectives

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.
  • Give your students time to complete the worksheet.

Differentiation

  • Enrichment: Give the students the option of writing more words with the L blend, such as glass, flour, clean, slide, and blue. Have your students categorize the words according to their L blends.

Review

Assessment (5 minutes)

Review and Closing (10 minutes)

  • Ask the students what sound L makes.
