This comprehensive instructional preparation resource is aligned with the rationalized Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) design, referencing the approved Revised English Activities Pupil's Book 3 (pages 101–144).

  The downloadable Lesson Plans cover 9 complete weeks and provide 45 detailed, lesson-by-lesson plans (5 lessons per week) that integrate listening, pronunciation, grammar structures, connected text reading fluency, comprehension, and guided handwriting across diverse thematic areas.

  The Lesson Plans are organized under the following themes, strands, and substrands:

  • Theme: Playtime and Sports (Weeks 1–2)
    • Vocabulary, picture predictions, and reading connected texts (“The Kasarani Stadium” and “Lewa Marathon”)
    • Developing concept maps for text comprehension
    • Grammar & Language Structures: Comparative and superlative adjectives from substitution tables
    • Phonics & Handwriting: Words with short closed vowels and doubled consonants (forgetting, running, chatter); descriptive text revision and handwriting neatness
    • Weekly revision and assessment exercises
  • Theme: Food We Eat and Diseases (Weeks 3–4)
    • Vocabulary, predictions, and reading connected passages (“Mburu and Wanja fall sick”, “The wax bees”, and “Mosquitoes”)
    • Grammar & Language Structures: Conjunctions (and, but, because) for joining sentences
    • Skills: Narrative text drafting, peer revision checklists, spelling dictations, and active listening postures
    • Weekly revision and assessment exercises
  • Theme: Saving (Weeks 5–6)
    • Vocabulary, picture walks, and reading connected stories (“Rainwater” and financial saving passages)
    • Grammar & Language Structures: Constructing ‘How’ questions and ‘Why’ questions from substitution tables
    • Phonics & Guided Writing: Syllable chunking (dust-bin, wo-men), reciting poems with rhythm, and guided biography drafting and editing
    • Weekly revision and assessment exercises
  • Theme: Talents (Weeks 7–8)
    • Vocabulary, paired reading, and retelling stories (“The football match”, “The athletics day”, “The patient one solves it all”, and “Horse Riding”)
    • Grammar & Language Structures: Compound words (e.g., play + ground = playground, teammate, compete) and comparative/superlative adjectives
    • Creative Writing: Drafting, refining, and copying acrostic poems (e.g., SPORT, PLAY, TALENT) with neat handwriting
    • Weekly revision and assessment exercises
  • Theme: Environment – Things Around Us (Week 9)
    • Vocabulary and reading connected text (“Nature's Best”)
    • Grammar & Language Structures: Irregular nouns and their plural forms (child/children, foot/feet, tooth/teeth) and irregular verbs
    • Poetry & Revision: Reviewing environmental acrostic poems, compound sanitation practices, and end-of-term revision assessments

  The lessons guide learners to consolidate foundational literacy and communication skills, such as expanding vocabulary in context, reading connected texts fluently, summarizing stories through concept maps, combining clauses using conjunctions, asking grammatically correct ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions, and drafting acrostic poems.

  Each lesson follows a standard 40-minute structure: an Introduction (5 minutes), a 4-step Lesson Development (25 minutes) packed with phonic modeling, paired reading, sentence construction, and text editing, and a Conclusion (10 minutes) with formative review checks. Inquiries are guided by Key Inquiry Questions, such as “What words in the story have been used to compare two or more things?”, “What words do you use to join two or more sentences?”, and “Why do we review our writing?”

  Core competencies developed include communication and collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, self-efficacy, learning to learn, creativity and imagination, and digital literacy. Core values nurtured include unity, respect, responsibility, honesty, patience, and cleanliness, while integrating Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs) such as health education and disease prevention, environmental conservation, financial literacy, and talent development.

  Assessment strategies include oral spelling and pronunciation drills, paired reading fluency checks, concept map audits, sentence transformation tasks, dictation exercises, and weekly written revision tests. Every lesson plan concludes with an Extended Activity for home study and an open Teacher Self-Evaluation section for reflective pedagogical monitoring.
