  Lesson Planning of Syllables-I Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcomes Find out how many syllables a word has. Information for Teachers Syllable is a group of letters that has one vowel sound in it.   It is the sound of a vowel (a, e, I, o, u) that is created when pronouncing a word. The number of times that you hear the sound of a vowel (a, e, I, o, u) in a word is equal to the number of syllables the word has. One syllable has only one vowel sound in it, as; Cake-has 1 syllable (one vowel sound) Eat- has 1 syllable Cheese- has 1 syllable Eating-has two syllable (eat-ing) =two vowel sounds. Chicken –has two syllable (chick - en) – two vowel sounds Worrying –has three syllables (wor-ry-ing) = Three vowel sounds How to find syllables: Count the number of vowels (a, e, I, o, u, and sometimes y) in the word. Subtract any silent vowels (like the silent \e’ at the end of a word). Subtract 1 vowel from every diphthong ( A diphthong is when two vowe

  Lesson Planning of Common Consonant Clusters-II Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcomes Pronounce with reasonable accuracy, common three consonant clusters in initial and final positions. Information for Teachers All the letters of English Language besides vowels are called consonants. When we combine two or three consonants, they make a consonant cluster; cluster means group, bunch or collection. A consonant cluster in a word is a group of consonants with no vowels between them. The longest possible cluster in English is three consonant sounds at the start, such as ‘splash’, and four at the end, as in ‘twelfth’. Initial consonant clusters are the sounds that are found at the beginning of English words. They are called clusters because each of the sounds in a cluster can be heard, as; examples of common three consonant clusters in the beginning of a word are’ scr’, ‘spl,’ spr’, and ‘str’. Final consonant clusters are the sounds that are found at the end of Eng

  Lesson Planning of Consonant Cluster -1 Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcome Classify words that begin or end with the same consonants clusters. Information for Teachers Cluster means group, bunch or collection. When two or three consonants are combined they make consonant cluster, as; ck, br, sk, bl, nd etc. It is important to distinguish between clusters and digraphs. Clusters are made of two or more consonants sounds, while a digraph is a group of two consonant letters standing for a single sound. For example, in the word ship, the two letters of the digraph (sh) together represent the single consonant-sound. Examples of some same common consonant clusters at initial and final positions are: as; -sk skill, skin, skim, skip, etc. -sp speak, special, speech, spark, sparrow, speed, etc. -sk ask, desk, risk, dusk, brisk, etc. -sp crisp, grasp, wasp, etc.

  Lesson Planning of Vowels and Diphthongs Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcomes Pronounce and spell long and short vowels and diphthongs as they occur as practice items and sentences in reading lessons and in speech. Information for Teachers Diphthongs are vowel sounds/semi-vowel sounds into a single unbroken sound. Common diphthongs in English are: as; /ow/ sound as in the word cow, how, bow, now, wow, owl, gown, allow /ou/ sound as in the word out, shout, foul, snout /oy/ sound as in the word boy, toy, joy, royal, enjoy Reinforcement of the long and short vowels sounds must be done. While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also use textbook wherein and whenever it is applicable. Note that this lesson focuses on diphthongs. Material / Resources Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, mini-chart, extension worksheet 1 (5 in number) Introduction Ask the following questions to recap consonants, vowel and diphthongs. Ask the students,

  Lesson Planning of Long and Short Vowel Sounds Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcomes Classify more words that begin with vowel sounds. Identify and pronounce long and short vowel sounds in minimal pairs. Information for Teachers There are five vowels in English. They are: as; a, e, I, o, and u. Letter ‘a’ is pronounced as in apple, ‘e’ is pronounced as in egg, ‘I’ as in ink, ‘o’ as in orange and ‘u’ as in umbrella. Minimal pair: Minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases that different only in one sound in a word and have totally different meaning. Practicing minimal pairs can help students understand the small differences in pronunciation between one word and another. Minimal pairs are for vowels and consonants both. In this lesson focus is only on vowel minimal pairs. Short and long vowel sounds You can conduct this lesson in one more period by reinforcing the concepts. While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also use textbook.
