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;

1. Cake-has 1 syllable (one vowel sound)
2. Eat- has 1 syllable
3. Cheese- has 1 syllable
4. Eating-has two syllable (eat-ing) =two vowel sounds.
5. Chicken –has two syllable (chick - en) – two vowel sounds
6. 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 vowels make only 1 sound (oi, oy, ou, ow, au, aw,….)
• The number you are left with should be the number of vowel sounds in the word.

Material/Resources

Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, textbook

Introduction

• Ask the students to stand up and make a big circle in the classroom. Then ask them to say their name in easy parts, one by one with the beat of claps. Like Shah-zeb with two claps.
• After completing all the names on claps, ask them to go back to their seats.
• Now ask some students how they divided their names in parts.
• Introduce syllables with the help of information for the teachers.
• Also see the information given in textbook about syllables and explain to students.

Development

Activity 1 Read the words in the box. Count the syllables and write the words in the proper columns.   butcher tiger princess hope progress hobby realized camera walnut observe vacation Saturday grass enter down big slipper contest conductor computer 1 syllable 2 syllables 2 syllables 1 syllable 3 syllables

 

Activity 2 Select all the new words from the lesson the students will do in the following day. Write the words on the writing board. Ask the students to read them with the help of syllables. Make corrections where needed. They can also practice the words with the clap.

 

Sum up/ Conclusion

• Ask the students which new word they have learnt with the help of the syllables. Ask them to say the word and tell the number of syllables.

Assessment

• Make a test/worksheet or do it on the board for the assessment. Take words from the book.

Syllables Words are made up of syllables. Each syllable has a vowel sound. A fun way syllables is to clap as you read each word. Examples: bat    1 clap         =1 syllables monkey 2 claps  = 2 syllables forever 3 claps    =3 syllables Directions: read each word as you clap the syllables. write the number of syllables each has Monster ___________ Butterfly__________ Cat______________ Basket ___________ Strawberry ________ Rabbit ____________ Basketball _________ Sister _____________ Winter ____________ Family ____________ Candy ____________ Understand _________ Popcorn ____________ Jump ______________ Football ____________ Reading ____________ Math______________ Playground _________ Elephant ___________ Fan _______________
