Title: Exploring Bl, Cl, Fl, and Gl Sounds

Objective: Students will recognize and apply the bl sound in block, cl sound in clock, fl sound in flake, and gl sound in glue.

Materials: - Picture cards with words containing bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds (e.g., block, clock, flake, glue) - Whiteboard or chart paper - Markers - Small whiteboards and markers (one per student) - Letter cards (b, c, f, g, l) - Word cards with words containing bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds (e.g., blue, clap, flip, glad) - Sentence strips

Procedure:

1. Introduction (5 minutes):
   • Begin the lesson by asking students if they know any words that start with the sounds bl, cl, fl, and gl.
   • Write the sounds on the whiteboard or chart paper and ask students to brainstorm words that start with each sound.
   • Write down their suggestions and discuss the words as a class.
2. Sound Sort (10 minutes):
   • Show the picture cards with words containing bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds.
   • Explain that students will be sorting the picture cards based on the beginning sound.
   • Divide the whiteboard or chart paper into four sections labeled bl, cl, fl, and gl.
   • Call out a word from the picture cards and ask students to identify the beginning sound and place the card in the correct section.
   • Repeat this process with several words until all the picture cards are sorted.
3. Word Building (15 minutes):
   • Distribute the small whiteboards and markers to each student.
   • Show the letter cards (b, c, f, g, l) and explain that students will be using these letters to build words with bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds.
   • Call out a word from the word cards and ask students to use the letter cards to spell the word on their whiteboards.
   • Have students hold up their whiteboards to show their answers and discuss the correct spelling as a class.
   • Repeat this process with several words, allowing students to take turns calling out words for their classmates to spell.
4. Sentence Creation (15 minutes):
   • Provide each student with a sentence strip.
   • Explain that students will be creating sentences using words with bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds.
   • Show the word cards again and ask students to choose one word from each sound group to use in their sentence.
   • Instruct students to write their sentences on the sentence strips, making sure to include the chosen words.
   • Allow students to share their sentences with the class, emphasizing the correct pronunciation of the bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds.
5. Conclusion (5 minutes):
   • Review the bl, cl, fl, and gl sounds with the class.
   • Ask students to share any new words they learned during the lesson.
   • Summarize the importance of recognizing and applying these sounds in reading and writing.

Note: Adjust the duration of each activity based on the pace and needs of your students.
