ILAW Lesson Plan Grade 1 Term 1 Week 5

ILAW Lesson Plan Grade 1 Term 1 Week 5 | Free Download SY 2026–2027 (July 13–17)

Week 5 is here — and if you’re teaching Grade 1, you already know this feels different from any week you’ve planned before.

You’re no longer in orientation mode. Your learners have settled into routines. You’ve observed them closely for a full month. And now, heading into Term 1 Week 5 (July 13–17, 2026), you’re carrying something the first weeks didn’t give you: real classroom data. That’s exactly what makes Week 5 one of the most important planning weeks of the entire term.

This page gives you everything you need — a clear breakdown of the ILAW format, what Week 5 should look like for Grade 1 learners, subject-by-subject planning tips, and free downloadable ILAW lesson plan files for all Grade 1 subjects, fully aligned with the MATATAG Curriculum and DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026.

All files on this page are FREE to download. No registration. No payment. Just scroll to the download section and grab the editable Word file for your subject.

What Is the ILAW Lesson Plan Format? (A Quick Refresher for Grade 1 Teachers)

Before diving into Week 5 specifics, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page — especially if you’re still transitioning from the old DLL or DLP.

ILAW stands for:

Letter	Component	What It Means for Grade 1 Teachers
I	Intentions	Your learning competency, session objectives, and learner context — written to reflect your actual class, not a generic template
L	Learning Experiences	The heart of your lesson: pre-lesson activity, main flow, resources, and integration opportunities
A	Assessment	Formative tasks suited to 6–7 year olds — observations, oral Q&A, drawings, brief written tasks
W	Ways Forward	Extended learning, remediation plans, enrichment for advanced learners, and your teacher reflection

Introduced through DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026 (signed June 4, 2026), the ILAW format officially replaces both the DLL (Daily Lesson Log) and the DLP (Detailed Lesson Plan) with a single, unified template that prioritizes professional judgment over checkbox compliance.

Why Term 1 Week 5 Matters More Than You Think

Here’s something the other lesson plan downloads won’t tell you: Week 5 is the natural consolidation point of Term 1.

By July 13, most Grade 1 teachers have:

Completed four weeks of structured observation
Built a working picture of each learner’s strengths and struggles
Established classroom routines that are now consistent
Gathered enough formative data to make real instructional decisions

This means your Intentions section in Week 5 should no longer be generic. Your Learner Context — a required component of the ILAW format — should now reflect specific observations. Who reads with confidence? Who still confuses letters? Who participates eagerly in group tasks but shuts down during individual written work?

Week 5 is also the right time to ask: Am I on pace with the Budget of Work? The three-term calendar compresses the academic year differently than the old four-quarter system. If any competencies slipped due to early-term adjustments, Week 5 is the window to catch up before Term 1 ends.

The Three-Term School Calendar: Where Does Week 5 Fall?

Many teachers still search for “Quarter 1 Week 5” — but under SY 2026–2027, the quarter system no longer applies. Here’s a quick orientation to the new calendar structure:

Term	Coverage	Approximate Weeks
Term 1	June 15 – August 2026	Weeks 1–10
Term 2	September – November 2026	Weeks 1–10
Term 3	January – March 2027	Weeks 1–10

Term 1 Week 5 = July 13–17, 2026.

This places Week 5 right at the midpoint of Term 1 — the perfect moment for a mid-term check. Are your learners progressing toward the competencies targeted in the Budget of Work for Term 1? Week 5 should give you a clear answer.

Grade 1 Subjects Under MATATAG: What You're Teaching in Week 5

One of the biggest adjustments for Grade 1 teachers under the MATATAG Curriculum is the restructured subject list. If you taught Grade 1 before SY 2026–2027, here’s what changed:

Mother Tongue has been removed from Grade 1
English and Filipino are now treated as integrated language learning areas
A new subject called Language / Reading and Literacy covers foundational literacy
GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct) replaces the old ESP at the primary level
MAPEH remains, covering Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health

Here’s a subject-by-subject look at what Week 5 planning should prioritize:

Language / Reading and Literacy (English & Filipino)

By Week 5, Grade 1 learners should be moving beyond letter and sound recognition into early word reading. Your Learning Experiences this week might include:

Blending consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words
Shared reading of short, illustrated texts
Guided oral retelling of simple stories
Phonological awareness games (rhyming, syllable clapping)

Assessment tip: Instead of a written quiz, try a one-minute oral reading check — a quick, low-stakes way to see where each learner stands without anxiety.

Ways Forward note: By Week 5, your teacher reflection should identify which learners have mastered initial phonics and which need additional decoding support. Plan your Week 6 with those two groups in mind.

Mathematics

Grade 1 Math in Week 5 typically moves into early number operations. Under the MATATAG Budget of Work, competencies around this point may include:

Counting and comparing sets up to 20 or beyond (depending on pace)
Introduction to addition concepts using manipulatives and real objects
Number line activities and simple sequencing
Identifying ordinal numbers in practical contexts

Learning tip for Grade 1: Math at this level is most effective when it’s hands-on and visible. Use counters, popsicle sticks, blocks, or even learners’ fingers. Abstract number operations come later — Week 5 is still about building concrete understanding.

Assessment tip: Observation-based assessment works well here. As learners work with manipulatives, circulate and note who solves problems confidently vs. who needs prompting.

Frequently Asked Questions About ILAW Lesson Plans for Grade 1

Q: Is the ILAW format required for Grade 1 teachers during Term 1?

Per Section 23 of DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026, the old DLL/DLP is still accepted during Term 1, SY 2026–2027. Full ILAW compliance becomes mandatory starting Term 2. However, beginning the ILAW format in Week 5 gives you a strong foundation before the Term 2 deadline.

Q: Do I need to prepare an ILAW lesson plan from Monday to Friday, or per session?

The ILAW format is designed around sessions, not days. A session may span one class period or be spread across multiple days depending on the subject and learning area. Your school’s class program will determine how sessions map to the weekly schedule.

Q: What’s the difference between ILAW and the old DLL?

The old DLL required teachers to fill in the same information across five daily columns, often leading to repetitive entries. The ILAW format uses a session-based structure and adds new components: the Learner Context, Integration, and the Declaration of AI Use. It also removes rigid compliance boxes in favor of professional reflection through the Ways Forward section.

Q: Can I use AI to write my ILAW lesson plan?

AI tools may be used to generate draft content, but teachers must review, revise, and personalize the plan — particularly the Learner Context and Teacher Reflection sections. Any AI use must be declared under the categories set by DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2026 (Prohibited, Limited, or Guided). Fully AI-generated lesson plans submitted without teacher review or adaptation are not compliant.

Q: Where can I find the Budget of Work for Grade 1 Term 1?

The official Budget of Work for Learning Competencies under the Three-Term School Year 2026–2027 is available through the DepEd official website and the DepEd Learning Management System (LMS). Your school’s Master Teacher or Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) coordinator can also provide a copy.
