Lesson Plan: C K Rule
Grade: Senior KG (4-5 years old)
Subject: Phonics
Duration: 30 minutes
Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to understand and apply the C K Rule when spelling words with the /k/ sound at the end.
Materials: - Whiteboard or chart paper - Markers - Flashcards with words ending in /k/ sound (e.g., duck, sock, lock) - Video resources (links provided below) - Worksheet resources (links provided below)
Introduction (5 minutes): 1. Greet the students and have a brief discussion about the /k/ sound. 2. Show a few flashcards with words ending in /k/ sound (e.g., duck, sock, lock). 3. Ask the students if they notice anything similar about the words. 4. Explain that today, they will learn a special rule called the C K Rule, which helps them know when to use ‘c’ or ‘k’ at the end of words.
Lesson Outline (15 minutes): 1. Write the C K Rule on the board: “When the /k/ sound comes at the end of a word, we use ‘ck’ after a short vowel sound.” 2. Explain that a short vowel sound is the sound a vowel makes in words like cat, dog, pig, etc. 3. Provide examples of words that follow the C K Rule (e.g., duck, sock, lock) and write them on the board. 4. Practice saying the words together as a class, emphasizing the /k/ sound at the end. 5. Show flashcards with words that do not follow the C K Rule (e.g., cake, bike, rake) and explain that these words have a long vowel sound before the /k/ sound. 6. Practice saying the words together as a class, emphasizing the long vowel sound before the /k/ sound. 7. Use the flashcards to play a game of sorting words into two categories: C K Rule and Non-C K Rule words. 8. Repeat the game a few times, encouraging students to explain why they sorted the words in a particular way.
Questioning (5 minutes): 1. Ask the students questions to check their understanding: - What is the C K Rule? - When do we use ‘ck’ at the end of a word? - Can you give an example of a word that follows the C K Rule? - Can you give an example of a word that does not follow the C K Rule?
Assessment (5 minutes): 1. Distribute a worksheet (link provided below) to each student. 2. Instruct them to circle the words that follow the C K Rule and cross out the words that do not. 3. Walk around the classroom to observe and assist students as needed.
Differentiation: 1. For students who need extra support, provide additional examples and practice opportunities during the lesson. 2. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to come up with their own words that follow or do not follow the C K Rule.
Plenary (5 minutes): 1. Recap the C K Rule and its application. 2. Ask a few students to share their favorite word that follows the C K Rule. 3. Congratulate the students on their understanding and effort.
