  • 1Identify words and phrases that learners find difficult to pronounce in a short passage
  • 2Display on the chalkboard: 'Akosua dɔ adɔ nkɔsua a ɔadze no wɔ Makola.' Ask learners to whisper the sentence to their partner and point out any word they find tricky
  • READ AND RECOGNISE LONGER PASSAGES FLUENTLY
  • 1Write a 6-sentence passage in the textbook (or read aloud from the Textbook) about Kwame's visit to the market; learners follow silently and listen for rhythm and natural pauses. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved
  • 2Divide class into pairs; each pair reads one sentence aloud to each other, focusing on correct pronunciation and pace—monitor 3–4 pairs while others read. Use Textbook during the task
  • 3Play a reading game: pairs take turns reading alternate sentences from the passage while classmates tick off on Exercise books any word mispronounced; after round, discuss 2–3 commonly missed words as a whole class
  • 1Textbook
  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Chalkboard
  • 1Ask learners to stand and choral-read the entire passage three times, increasing speed each round while maintaining clarity

  • 1Recall key reading strategies for fluent passage reading from yesterday's lesson
  • 2Ask learners: What did you do yesterday to read smoothly without stopping? Learners whisper answers to their partner, then three volunteers share aloud
  • READING A LONGER PASSAGE ALOUD WITH FLUENCY
  • 1Write a 12-sentence passage on the chalkboard about Ama visiting Makola Market to buy vegetables. Read it aloud at natural pace with clear expression. Learners follow in their exercise books as you read. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved
  • 2Divide class into pairs. Each pair takes turns reading the same passage aloud to their partner—one reads, partner listens for 1 mistake or 1 good fluent phrase, then swap roles. Circulate and listen to at least 8 pairs. Use Textbook during the task
  • 3Invite one learner to read the first 3 sentences aloud to the whole class. After, ask the class: Did Ama read with good pace and expression? Thumbs up if yes. Repeat with 2 more volunteer readers from different ability levels. Use Textbook during the task. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved
  • 1Textbook
  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Chalkboard
  • 1Partners work together: they silently read the Ama passage one more time, and each underlines any word they found unfamiliar. Share 2–3 difficult words as a whole class; teacher explains briefly
  • 2Learners choral repeat the phrase 'I can read passages fluently' three times with natural expression and pacing
Exercise
  • 1Give each learner a new 6-sentence passage about Kwame at Techiman Market (provided in textbook). Learner reads it silently, then aloud to you in a quick 1-on-1 check as you move around the room—count how many read with minimal mistakes and natural pace; record in your mark book in their exercise books.
