Second Grade Prep- Digraphs Ch, Sh, Th

Students will be learning and reviewing the consonant digraphs to become more fluent readers and decoders. Our consonant review will consist of the digraphs: ch, -tch, sh, th (unvoiced), and th (voiced). In this class, we will introduce the consonant digraph's sounds. We will learn a chant for each digraph to help remember the sound and apply that chant while we decode and write in our lesson. Then, we will practice blending and segmenting words that contain the digraphs sound together as a class and independently.  Practicing in isolation will allow learners to see the digraphs and practice producing the proper sounds before applying it in context. We will use the focused sounds in a phonics fluency passage. Class will be supported through visuals on Google slides and the use of white boards.
I want students to be active participants. I will work to keep students engaged by having them verbalize while learning. Learners will practice saying and moving during to the digraph chants. Use body movements while  blending and segmenting words. I will have each learner write on a white board or paper during class and have learners read the fluency sentences or passage to have them engaged as participants. I aim to use the gradual release model.  

 My teaching style is aimed towards the gradual release model. This model is a three step approach to success-- I do (I model for learners the sounds,  blending and segmenting procedure, and fluency process), We do (let's practice saying it together and blending/ segmenting), and You do (now it is each learner's turn to use the skill we are focusing on). Using this model, we will have fun, charismatic exploration of the sounds. I am hoping to see smiles and joy coming from each learner as mastery is achieved in class.
For this class, it is best suited for students who have completed a first grade curriculum. This phonics level class is more appropriate for readers reading on a level F for guided reading, DRA level 10, or Lexile level 200 and above.  This class will have students applying the phonics instruction gained during first grade. It is wonderful review or reinforcement for a second grade or third grade learner.
