  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...

  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...

  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 Long and Short Vowel Sounds Subject English Grade V Students` Learning Outcomes Classify more words that begin with vowel sounds.
