Lesson 4: Phonics and Spelling
Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
1. Demonstrate understanding that a systematic, predictable relationship exists between
written letters and spoken sounds.
2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by
producing the primary or basic code sound for the short vowel /u/.
3. Segment a spoken word into phonemes, e.g., given mug, produce the segment /m/ /u/
/g/.
4. Identify whether pairs of phonemes are the same or different, including pairs that differ
only in voicing, e.g., /b/ and /p/.
5. Orally blend sounds to form words, e.g., given the sounds /n/.../u/.../t/, blend to make
nut.
6. Add or substitute phonemes to spoken one-syllable words.
Instructional Techniques
• Start the lesson by telling students the new sound is /u/ in the middle of the word.
• Write words with the short vowel /u/ on the board.
• Say the words clearly.
Activity
• Have students say the sound /u/ several times, stretching it out.
• Ask students to repeat a number of words having the /u/ sound in the middle: bug,
mug, rug, fun, run.
• Distribute a handheld mirror to each student.
• Tell students to use the mirrors to watch the shape of their mouths as they say the
sound /u/ in the middle.
• Ask students if their mouths are open or closed when they make this sound (open).
• While looking into the mirrors, have students echo the words you say. Use the list that
follows.
• 1. bug 2. rug 3. cub 4. hub 5. fun 6. run
• Tell students you are going to say a number of words. Some of the words will have the
/u/ sound in the middle and some will not.
• Have students close their eyes and listen carefully.
• Tell students to raise their hands when they hear a word that has the /u/ sound in the
middle.
• Note: If students have trouble hearing the middle sound, say the word in a segmented
fashion: /h/ …/u/ …/t/. Then repeat the word in its blended form: hut.

Lesson 5: Phonics and Spelling
Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
1. Demonstrate understanding that a systematic, predictable relationship exists between
written letters and spoken sounds.
2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by produc-
ing the primary or basic code sound for the short vowel /u/.
3. Segment a spoken word into phonemes, e.g., given fun, produce the segments /f/ /u/
/n/.
4. Identify whether pairs of phonemes are the same or different, including pairs that differ
only in voicing, e.g., /b/ and /p/.
5. Indicate whether a target phoneme is present in the initial/medial/final position of a
spoken word, e.g., hear /b/ at the beginning of bun and /t/ at the end of hut.
6. Orally blend sounds to form words, e.g., given the sounds /r/.../u/.../n/, blend to make
run.
7. Add or substitute phonemes to spoken one-syllable words.
8. Give examples on CVC and CVCC words that contain the short vowel /u/.
9. Learn new vocabulary.
Instructional Techniques
• Start the lesson by telling the class the word cub has three sounds.
• Say the sounds in a segmented fashion: /c/ . . . /u/ . . . /b/.
• Say the sound /c/ as you touch your left shoulder with your right hand.
• Say the sound /u/ as you touch your left elbow with your right hand.
• Say the sound /b/ as you touch your left wrist with your right hand.
• Say the word cub as you slide your right hand from your left shoulder down to your
left wrist.
Activity
• Tell students a word like hub.
• Tell the class the word hub contains three sounds.
• Say /h/ as you touch your shoulder.
• Say /u/ as you touch your elbow.
• Say /b/ as you touch your wrist.
• Say hub as you sweep your hand down your arm.
• Have students do the same.
• Write rub next to hub.
• Repeat the procedures outlined above with the rest of the words.
• Allow students to answer the questions on the Activity Book page 59 by blending letters
with (“ub” like cub and hub), (“ug” like jug and hug) and (“un” like bun and fun).

Lesson 6: Phonics and Spelling
Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
1. Demonstrate understanding that a systematic, predictable relationship exists between
written letters and spoken sounds.
2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by
producing the primary or basic code sound for the short vowel /u/.
3. Segment a spoken word into phonemes, e.g., given fun, produce the segments /f/ /u/
/n/.
4. Identify whether pairs of phonemes are the same or different, including pairs that differ
only in voicing, e.g., /b/ and /p/.
5. Indicate whether a target phoneme is present in the initial/ medial/final position of a
spoken word, e.g., hear /m/ at the beginning of mug and /n/ at the end of bun.
6. Orally blend sounds to form words, e.g., given the sounds /r/.../u/.../n/, blend to make
run.
7. Add or substitute phonemes to spoken one-syllable words.

sweep.
12. Learn new vocabulary.
Instructional Techniques
• Display the story “Bug’s Hut”.
• Have students read the title of the story.
• Read the story once without interruption, running a finger beneath the words as you
read them.
• Remind students stories are made up of sentences and each sentence begins with an
uppercase letter and ends with a full stop.
• Also remind students a sentence is a complete thought. The full stop at the end of a
sentence indicates it is time to stop, take a breath, and think about the meaning of the
sentence.
• A full stop is a punctuation mark.
• Read the story a second time, pausing to point out sentences, capital letters, and full
stops.
• If you have time, read the story again, having students read individual sentences.
71
Activity
• Allow students to go to page 63 in their books.
• Ask all students to read individual sentences.
• Discuss the questions of the story with the students (What does bug have? …etc.)
• Allow students to act out the story.
• Allow students to answer the questions on the Activity Book page 60 by writing the word
under the correct picture.
