Lesson Plan
Session 1 Lesson Plan
Students will learn the CVCe (silent-e) pattern by reading and sorting CVCe words, build fluency through a brief passage, and write simple sentences using CVCe words.
Mastering the CVCe pattern enables students to decode long-vowel words, boosting reading fluency and spelling accuracy. Writing sentences applies the skill in context for deeper retention.

Session 2 Lesson Plan
Students will learn to decode and spell common vowel teams (ai, ea, oa) by reading and sorting vowel-team words, build fluency with a targeted passage, and write sentences using vowel-team words.
Recognizing vowel teams helps students decode longer words and improves reading accuracy and spelling. Writing in context reinforces the pattern for deeper learning.

Session 3 Lesson Plan
Students will decode and spell the IE, UE, and EW vowel teams by reading and sorting words, build fluency with a targeted passage, and write sentences using these vowel-team words.
Mastering IE, UE, and EW teams broadens students’ decoding repertoire for more complex vowel patterns, boosting reading accuracy and vocabulary. Writing sentences applies these teams in context for deeper retention.

Session 4 Lesson Plan
Students will review CVCe and vowel-team patterns by sorting mixed words, reading a combined-pattern fluency passage, and writing sentences using both patterns.
Integrating silent-e and vowel teams consolidates decoding skills, boosts reading fluency, and reinforces spelling patterns in varied contexts.

Session 5 Lesson Plan
Students will review and demonstrate mastery of CVCe and all vowel-team patterns by sorting mixed words, reading a cumulative passage fluently, and writing accurate sentences.
A final review solidifies decoding and spelling patterns (silent E and vowel teams) and assesses students’ reading and writing readiness for independent work.
