Description

Teach your students the phonics ear sound. This is a dipthong in these words (one sound glides to another). Here is a PowerPoint lesson that teaches these concepts in a direct instruction method.

Included in this lesson:

• Lesson outcomes
• Whole body listening prompt
• Explanation of concept
• Word reading slides
• Picture slides (with word included, to develop vocabulary)
• Sentence reading slides
• Extension slides (longer – polysyllabic words followed by sentences)
• Phonic dictation (1 slide – how to – 3 slides with different reading levels)
• Homophones & Homographs (2 slides)
• Other spellings for /ear/
• Check for understanding (what sound did we do today?)
• Extension slide (reminder – same sound and multiple graphemes)

This lesson includes aspects of phonological awareness (blending for reading). You can also have students bring their whiteboards down onto the mat and write them once they have read them (segmenting the sounds as they write).
