Teaching Aids: Sound cards 'm', 'n', 'p', 't' and 'a'; pocket chart; Reading Text, textbook pg 16; Sight word cards - 'on', 'the' (written in blue)
Time: 30 minutes
Activity:
1. Revise blending words quickly.
2. Read the text on page 16 together. Teach pupils to read the blue words(sight words) using look & say method(use flash cards).
3. Next let the pupils take turns to read in groups. Then pair them up and let them read the text to each other.
4. Do dictation ( For abled students - sentence level. Show sight word cards if they have problem writing the sight words; for the less abled - word level )
