Sounding With Syllables: Lesson Plan

This lesson plan teaches students how to divide and read multisyllabic words containing specific vowel digraphs (ea, ee, ai, oa, ow) by applying rules of syllabication. Students will engage in explicit instruction, guided practice in small groups, independent work, and a final assessment. The lesson incorporates differentiation strategies, technology, and a closing review activity.

Lesson plan

Sounding with Syllables


Learning objectives
Students will be able to use knowledge of syllabication rules to divide and read
multisyllabic words that contain vowel digraphs.

Introduction
(5 minutes)
 Ask students to share what strategies they can use to read words.
 Tell the students that sometimes knowing certain spelling patterns can help us divide and read
words that have multiple syllables (if necessary, remind students that syllables are the units in a
word).
 Tell the students that they will be learning how to read multisyllabic words with the vowel
patterns of ea, ee, ai, oa, and ow.

 Explicit instruction/Teacher modeling


(5 minutes)
 Using selected words (e.g. entertain, appearance, committee, approach, widower), show the
students how to locate the digraphs (ea, ee, ai, oa, ow) and to subdivide the words to read
accurately.
 Use the sentence strips and pipe cleaners to demonstrate this process of dividing words into
syllables and reading the words.
Guided practice/Interactive modeling
(10 minutes)
 Divide students up into small groups of three or four students.
 Distribute guided practice words and popsicle sticks to each group.
 Invite the students to work on dividing the words into syllables as a group, using the pipe
cleaners or popsicle sticks.
 Circulate around the room, assisting students as needed, and ask them to read the words using
their knowledge of the syllables.

Independent working time


(10 minutes)
 Ask students to complete the Syllable Break-up worksheet.

Differentiation
Enrichment:
 Challenge students to brainstorm multisyllabic words with similar patterns, break the words into
syllables, and create a web of words.
Support:
 Provide partially divided words for students who need additional support.
 Create sentence strip puzzles with pre-cut syllables.

Technology integration
 Have students record themselves reading multisyllabic words using Voice Thread or another
recording program. Use their recordings to help them with their pronunciation and to develop
fluency.

Assessment
(10 minutes)
 Ask students to complete the worksheet Syllabication Evaluation.
 Rotate around the room and listen to students as they read the words aloud.

Review and closing


(5 minutes)
 Using a combination of words from the lesson, name a word and ask the students to explain how
the word can be broken apart.
