First Key Stage (3 Hours)

1. Preparation and Settling In (30 mins): Begin with brief relaxation
exercises to transition students into a reading mindset. Students gather their
chosen reading materials and find a comfortable spot for reading.
2. Dedicated Reading Time (60 mins): Students engage in independent reading,
focusing on sounding out words and picture-word association. The teacher
monitors and assists as needed.
3. Progress Monitoring through Reflection and Sharing (45 mins):
Facilitate a group discussion where students can share parts of their reading, discuss
themes, or recommend books. Encourage them to relate the story to their own life
experiences.
4. Activity: Word Classification Game (30 mins): Conduct a game
where students classify words based on their sounds or meanings, enhancing their
understanding of phonics and vocabulary.

In a reading enhancement program where each child selects different reading

materials, conducting a post-reading activity like word classification can be
approached creatively. Here's how a teacher might handle it.
 • Group Discussion and Collection. After the reading session, the teacher
can initiate a group discussion where each child shares
interesting words they encountered in their reading. The
teacher notes these words on the board or chart paper.
• Word Classification Activity. With the collected words, the teacher can
then guide the children to classify these words. This could be based on
various criteria such as parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives),
word families, or even themes (words related to emotions, actions,
nature, etc.).
• Interactive Learning. This activity becomes interactive and diverse, as
the words come from a variety of reading materials. It encourages
children not only to engage with their chosen book but also to learn
from the materials their peers have read.
• Reinforcement of Learning. Such an activity reinforces vocabulary
learning, understanding of word types, and encourages
children to be attentive to the language used in their
reading material.

This approach nudures a culture of reading while simultaneously fostering

collaborative learning and broadening the vocabulary and linguistic
understanding of the students.

5. Wrap Up (15 mins): Review key points from the materials read or shared.
Encourage students to ask questions and provide feedback. Set the next reading
goal.

Second Key Stage (3 Hours)

1. Preparation and Settling In (30 mins): Similar to the first key stage, with
students selecting reading materials suited to their level.
2. Dedicated Reading Time (60 mins): Focus on partner reading, choral reading,
and making predictions about the story. Teachers guide students in these activities,
ensuring they understand and engage with the content.
3. Progress Monitoring through Reflection and Sharing (45 mins): Students
share their insights from the reading, focusing on summarizing the text and
discussing the characters, plot, and setting.
4. Activity: Dialogic Reading (30 mins): Engage students in a dialogic reading
session, where they take turns reading and discussing the text, asking
questions, and exploring different viewpoints.
5. Wrap Up (15 mins): Discuss the main takeaways from the day's reading.
Students reflect on their learning and set goals for future reading sessions.

Third Key Stage (3 Hours)

6. Preparation and Settling In (30 mins): Students prepare for more advanced
reading activities, choosing materials that challenge their comprehension and critical
thinking skills.
7. Dedicated Reading Time (60 mins): Focus on silent sustained reading,
allowing students to immerse themselves deeply in the text. Teachers monitor
and offer support as needed.
3. Progress Monitoring through Reflection and Sharing (45 mins): Students
engage in book clubs or literature circles, discussing their readings in depth,
exploring themes, and providing critical analysis.
 4. Activity: Independent Reading Project (45 mins): Students work on a project
related to their reading, such as a book report, author study, or genre
exploration.
5. Wrap Up (15 mins): Conclude with a discussion on the importance of reading
and how it applies to their everyday lives. Students set goals for their next
reading adventure.

Fourth Key Stage (3 Hours)

6. Exploration and Engagement (60 mins): Introduction and Ice-breaker activity
focused on literature and reading interests. Group reading session. Students choose
articles, short stories, or excerpts from Filipino literature or contemporary
texts. Focus on understanding context, cultural references, and thematic elements.
7. Interactive Learning and Discussion (60 mins): Group discussions and
presentations. Divide students into groups to discuss the readings. Each group presents
their insights, focusing on analysis, interpretation, and personal reflections.
3. Creative Application and Reflection (60 mins): Creative writing or project.
Students create a short piece (story, poem, essay) or a visual representation (sketch,
collage) inspired by their readings. Sharing and feedback session. Students share
their creations, discussing how the readings influenced their work.

The program should emphasize critical thinking, cultural appreciation, and creative
expression, catering to the diverse interests and academic needs of Senior High
Scñoo/ students.
 READING INTERVENTION

Three-hour lesson plan using Content-Based Instruction (CBI) with a focus on

Science:

Hour 1: Introduction to Science Theme and Preparation

• First 15 minutes (Preparation and Settling In): Introduce the theme (e.g.,
Plants, Weather, Animals). Use visuals and simple explanations to engage
students and create a connection with the reading material.
• Next 45 minutes (Dedicated Reading Time): Provide a selection of age-
appropriate Science books or materials related to the theme. Encourage
students to explore the pictures and attempt to read words or phrases. Offer
assistance in sounding out words and making picture-word associations.

Hour 2: Engaging with the Content

• First 30 minutes (Interactive Activity): Conduct a 'Science Discovery' activity. For
example, if the theme is Plants, students can examine plant parts or seeds and use
descriptive words to talk about them.
• Next 30 minutes (Guided Reading): Choose a simple Science story or
book related to the theme. Read it aloud, encouraging students to follow along,
recognize familiar words, and participate in 'Repeat after Me' for key phrases.

Hour 3: Reinforcement and Reflection

• First 30 minutes (Application Activity): Have students engage in a hands-on
activity like drawing or creating a simple craft related to the Science theme. This
encourages them to use new vocabulary and concepts learned.
• Final 30 minutes (Reflection and Sharing): Let students share their
drawings or crafts. Facilitate a discussion where they can talk about what they learned,
using questions related to the content (e.g., "Who can tell me something about how
plants grow?" or "What did we learn about the weather today?"). Wrap up by
summarizing the key learning points and encouraging students to explore more about
the topic.

The specific reading skills targeted in the sample lesson plan include:
1. Phonemic Awareness: Through activities like sounding out words, students
practice recognizing and manipulating the sounds in spoken words.
2. Vocabulary Development: The introduction of new words related to the
science theme helps expand students' vocabulary.
3. Comprehension: The guided reading and reflection activities are designed to
improve students' understanding of the text.
4. Fluency: Repeated reading and 'Repeat after Me' exercises help in developing
reading fluency.
5. Connection Building: By linking the reading material to hands-on activities,
students learn to connect text to real-world experiences.
