Hey guys!
Yet another lesson I did for middle school. This one's a helpful class to review the alphabet, especially the individual sounds that each letter makes. Granted, this is the ENTIRE alphabet condensed into one two-period lesson, but hey teaching just a few letters a class is kinda boring so let's stick em' all in one
First portion is to review the vowels and the difference between long and short vowel sounds. There's a lot of resources on barryfunenglish.com about this stuff (worksheets, games, whatever) so I used a lot of stuff from there. There's a quick quick review game to make sure the kids understand what long/short sounds each vowel makes.
Second portion is just a quick review of the consonant sounds. Sped through this pretty fast.
Last portion is a review of digraphs (i.e. two letters that, when put together, make a new sound, like "ph" = "f" or "kn" = "n" etc.).
Then played a bomb game with them that I got from another thread in waygook (no plagerism intended). I've included it here anyway.
My kids surprisingly like the more "english" focused classes than the "cultural" classes, so this class worked out pretty well.
Enjoy! :D
