Phonics in context
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=304
A lesson plan for grades K–2 English Language Arts
In this lesson from ReadWriteThink, teachers choose literature that contains the necessary phonics elements for instruction, then plan before, during, and after activities for read-aloud or shared reading experiences. Careful and ongoing assessment of students’ phonics skill acquisition assists students in successfully internalizing and generalizing the selected phonics element.
