Keep printed letters visible. This task connects print with sound; an oral-only sound-change activity would require a different description and observation.
An original map → mat → sat chain
Original illustrative lesson, not observed student performance. The teacher confirms the class context and known correspondences before using the chain. For the sample's stated US practice pronunciation, the supplied mappings are m /m/, a /æ/, p /p/, t /t/, and s /s/.
| Step | Printed source → target | One change | What stays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teacher model | map → mat | Final p /p/ becomes t /t/ | Initial m and middle a |
| Guided change | mat → sat | Initial m /m/ becomes s /s/ | Middle a and final t |
Give the teacher separate source and target cards. Point to the changed position, name the supplied sound correspondence, build the new word, and read it with the teacher's approved modeling procedure. Use letter identities, not color alone, to show what changed.
The IES word-building resource organizes instruction around known letter-sounds, materials, teacher modeling, practice and evidence. The short chain, timing and prompts here are original; linked lesson videos are not needed to use this plan.
A proposed 35-minute plan
- Review, 5 minutes: Check the teacher-selected correspondences needed for the words. Note which ones still need instruction.
- Model, 7 minutes: Demonstrate map → mat, keeping the two unchanged letters visible beside the changed final position.
- Guided practice, 10 minutes: Guide mat → sat. Ask which position changes and what printed letter represents the supplied new sound.
- Independent attempt, 8 minutes: Ask for a new teacher-supplied word made only from confirmed correspondences. Keep its target card hidden until the attempt is recorded.
- Check and review, 5 minutes: Compare the actual construction and reading with the teacher key; choose the next practice from that evidence.
The five blocks add to 35 minutes. The independent target is an input the teacher must choose, not a word an AI should invent from an assumed readiness level. If needed correspondences are not confirmed, revise the plan before assigning that attempt.
Separate copying, building, and reading evidence
For each attempt, leave fields for prompt given, letters placed in order, reading response, support used, and teacher next step. Write the actual responses after teaching. A finished arrangement of letter tiles does not by itself establish the reading response.
If a learner changes middle a during map → mat, point back to the supplied target and ask which position differs. Record whether the next attempt required a model or a prompt. Do not turn one correction into a general reading diagnosis or a promise of improvement.
For a colleague-review copy, keep the teacher key distinct from learner materials. If a later version uses manipulable letter tiles, the word display and reviewed key must stay aligned when a letter changes. A sound icon should not suggest playback unless a real, permitted recording and functioning controls have been supplied. Live teacher modeling is sufficient for this plan.

Create one complete, self-contained US-English HTML companion for “One letter at a time · phonics plan”. Return the full HTML document, with inline CSS and any JavaScript needed for the local interactions. Use the original scenario, named records, numbers and expected cases below.
Design the page for this task: use clearly labeled input or source records, a readable result or worked example, and an adjacent explanation of the evidence. Use a restrained visual hierarchy, left-aligned text, readable tables or stacked records, and a responsive layout at 720px and 360px. Provide meaningful labeled controls for Model · map → mat; Guide · mat → sat; m; a; t; p; s; Check guided change; Reset this step; Review independent target · teacher; Prepare independent attempt; Restore 5 / 7 / 10 / 8 / 5. Use keyboard-accessible native controls and visible focus. Keep the complete content readable without an external dependency.
The following brief supplies the substantive content and constraints. Native-format requests describe the material to represent or copy manually; this HTML must not pretend to create DOCX, XLSX, PDF, PPTX, H5P or another native file, run Python/Flask/Django/Snowflake/Power BI, connect a live service, send messages, or perform an authorized real-world action. Where the task requires a native source, actual observation or separate approval, retain that requirement and leave unsupplied evidence blank.

Plan review, model, guided practice, independent attempt and check; times must
sum to the lesson length. Preserve letter order and identify each changed
position/sound, keeping unchanged letters explicit. Distinguish printed phonics
from oral-only awareness. Keep target/key separate for the independent attempt. Leave actual building/reading/support observations blank until supplied. Do not invent learner readiness, new mappings, diagnoses, or decoding gains.
Return the plan, source/target cards, changed-position key and blank observation
record. If requested, offer an HTML teacher-review copy comparing each step
with its key. No fake audio, student speech capture or automatic reading grade. Any optional local tile manipulation needs matching word/key and actual tests.
COMPLETE AUTHORED SCENARIO AND EXPECTED CASES
The following is the supplied reading/teaching/calculation record to represent in the companion. Preserve its particular content, examples, source references and unknowns. Wording about a future native implementation refers to that native task, not permission to omit this HTML companion.
# Phonics Lesson Plan Template: Make One Printed-Letter Change at a Time
A learner can copy **mat** from a model without showing whether they connected its letters to sounds. Plan the lesson so the model leads to a one-letter change, then an independent word built from teacher-confirmed correspondences. Record what the learner builds and reads rather than treating copied letters as decoding evidence.
Keep printed letters visible. This task connects print with sound; an oral-only sound-change activity would require a different description and observation.

Implement the local companion rather than returning a text-only plan. Preserve every numerical fixture and the distinction between illustrative expectations and actual evidence. Any native-runtime or classroom tests mentioned above remain tests to perform in the proper environment; do not mark them passed. Keep edits and practice responses in this open page only, without claiming persistent storage. Provide invalid/missing-input feedback and reset behavior that agree with this specific brief. Do not claim accessibility certification, learning gains, real approvals or test results that were not observed.
Read both changes with a colleague and check that the middle a stays in place. In class, keep the learner's actual construction and reading evidence separate, then record the next teaching decision in the required school record.
