Lesson objective:

The student will read five an, cvc words

independently.

Student will read each cvc word aloud at the

end of the lesson. Only a correctly pronounced
word on the first try will be considered correct.

can
man

5/5 mastery
3-4/5 acceptable
0-2/5 unacceptable

IEP goals addressed:

Reading: Given a list of 10 cvc words, the student will decode the words with 80% accuracy.
Opening:
I will tell the student we are working on (an) words. Each word is printed on an index card and
he will read each word aloud with teacher help as necessary.
Strategy: break each word down into its phonetic parts and then blend together.
Procedure:
All words will go into a gift bag. After I sing Happy Birthday the student will reach in and
choose on card. The student will read the card aloud using the same strategy as above. I will
help as needed.

After he reads the card, I will ask his how to spell the word. He will spell the word out loud.
The student will then write the word on the opposite side of the index card. I will help as needed
by sounding out the words or showing him the front of the index card again,
After the student has written the word, that index card will be set aside.
This process will be repeated for all five spelling words.
Tiered by complexity:
Because this is an individual lesson, no tiering will be seen. It is an extension lesson for
practicing the students weekly spelling words. His words are different than those of his
classmates. He is being supported in reading and writing cvc words while the other students in
his class are working on second grade level spelling words.
Closure/assessment:
I will show the student one index card at a time. He will read each card out loud.
- If the student reads five out of five words correctly, he will have mastered the lesson objective.
- If the student reads three to four out of five words correctly, his performance of the lesson
objective will be considered acceptable.
- If the student reads less than three of the words correctly, his performance of the lesson
objective will be considered unacceptable.
