3rd Grade Decoding Phonics Small Group Lesson Plan (English)

Topic: Decoding multisyllabic words

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to decode multisyllabic words with closed syllables, open syllables, VCe syllables, vowel teams, including digraphs and diphthongs, r-controlled syllables, and final stable syllables.
• Students will be able to decode multisyllabic words with confidence and accuracy.

Materials

• Magnetic poetry
• Word cards with multisyllabic words with different types of syllables (closed, open, VCe, vowel teams, digraphs, diphthongs, r-controlled)
• Word cards with multisyllabic words with final stable syllables
• Word cards with multisyllabic words with different types of syllables (closed, open, VCe, vowel teams, digraphs, diphthongs, r-controlled)
• Word cards with multisyllabic words with final stable syllables
• Whiteboard and markers

Warm-Up

• Write a few multisyllabic words on the board with different types of syllables (closed, open, VCe, vowel teams, digraphs, diphthongs, r-controlled).
• Ask students to identify the types of syllables in each word.
• Ask students to make up multisyllabic words with different types of syllables.

Direct Instruction

• Review the types of syllables (closed, open, VCe, vowel teams, digraphs, diphthong, r-controlled) and their corresponding sounds.
• Use a word list to model decoding multisyllabic words with different types of syllables.
• Have students practice decoding multisyllabic words with different types of syllables.

Guided Practice

• Provide students with a word list and have them work in pairs to decode the words using the strategies they have learned.
• Encourage them to discuss their thinking and use gesture to help each other.

Independent Practice

• Provide students with a passage and have them decode the words in the passage using the strategies they have learned.
• Encourage them to use gesture and discuss their thinking with a partner.

Closure

• Review the strategies that were learned today.
• Ask students to share one thing they learned or found interesting about decoding multisyllabic words.

Assessment

• Observe students during independent practice to make sure they are using the correct strategy to decode the words.
• Collect and review the student-generated sentences to assess understanding of the word lists.
• Administer a short quiz at the end of the lesson to assess understanding of the concepts covered.
