Lesson Title: Introduction to Phonics

Objective:
- To introduce students to the concept of phonics and how it helps them learn to read and write effectively.
- To familiarize students with some common letter sounds and their corresponding symbols.

Materials:
- Alphabet chart
- Flashcards with pictures of objects that begin with different letter sounds
- Whiteboard and markers
- Worksheets for practicing letter sounds

Introduction (10 minutes):
1. Begin by asking the students if they know what phonics is. Explain to them that phonics is the relationship between letters and sounds, and it helps us to read and write words.

2. Show them the alphabet chart and go through each letter, emphasizing the sound it makes. Encourage students to repeat after you.

3. Use the flashcards to demonstrate how each letter sound corresponds to a symbol. Show a picture of an object that begins with a certain letter sound and ask the students to identify the sound.

Main Activity (20 minutes):
1. Divide the students into small groups and give each group a set of flashcards with pictures of objects.

2. Ask them to match each picture with the corresponding letter sound by placing the flashcards under the appropriate letter on the alphabet chart.

3. As a whole class, go over each group's answers and discuss any discrepancies. Reinforce the correct letter sound for each picture.

Closure (10 minutes):
1. Review the letter sounds and symbols with the students. Encourage them to practice writing and identifying these sounds in their daily activities.

2. Distribute worksheets for students to practice writing and identifying letter sounds on their own. Provide assistance as needed.

3. Recap the lesson by asking students what they have learned about phonics and how it will help them in reading and writing words.

Assessment:
- Observe students during the main activity to see how well they can match the pictures with the correct letter sounds.
- Evaluate students' completion of the worksheets to assess their understanding of letter sounds.

Extension:
- Encourage students to bring in objects or pictures from home that start with different letter sounds for a fun phonics show-and-tell activity.
- Integrate phonics into other subject areas by incorporating letter sounds into spelling and reading exercises.
