“Good morning, friends. Thank you for joining me today. Today’s learning
target is “I can develop an understanding of basic phonetic principles. In other
words, you should be able to match the beginning sound of a word to the letter
Introduction/ that sound makes. Now please turn to a partner and share one thing you see in
Hook front of you and one thing you wonder.”(To prevent confusion I will exemplify
what I want them to do first, for example, I will say, “I see letters so...I wonder
if we are spelling today?”)
1) A bin filled with a variety of toys and two large pieces of paper with letters
of the alphabet written on them will be placed, ideally, on the floor.
2) I will be working with a small group of students
3) I will give instructions (As I explain the instructions I will show them what
to do)(I will also split the small group into pairs)
● “First you will grab a toy from the bin”
Instructional Activities ● “Then you will say, aloud to yourself, the name of the toy”
● “Then you will ask yourself what sound does the toy start with. If you
are having trouble you can ask your partner for help or ask me.”
● “Next, think of what letter makes that sound”
● “Finally, put that toy on that letter.”
● “Keep doing that until each toy is on a letter.”
Students will share which object is their favorite, what letter it starts with, and
Closure Activity what sound that letter makes. I will answer any questions.
Students who are absent will watch an educational video to recap what they
Accommodations missed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnMpjBvUopA
