Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to isolate and pronounce the final sounds of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words.

Materials and Prep

Materials: None

Prep: Review the CVC words and their final sounds before the lesson.

Activities

1. Sound Sorting: Prepare a list of CVC words and have the student identify and pronounce the final sound of each word. For example, for the word "cat," ask the student to say the final sound "t."

2. Word Ending Hunt: Give the student a list of CVC words and ask them to find objects around the house that end with the same sound as the final sound of each word. For example, for the word "dog," the student can find an object that ends with the "g" sound.

3. Story Time: Read a short story or book with CVC words and ask the student to identify the final sounds of the words as you read.

Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Today we are going to practice hearing the last sound in words. Can you say the last sound in the word 'cat'? It's 't'!"
• "Let's find things around us that end with the same sound as the word 'bat.' Can you find something that ends with 't'?"
• "As we read this story, listen carefully to the words and tell me what sound you hear at the end of each word."
