Learning Objectives
Students will be able to isolate and pronounce initial, medial, and final sounds by using a method of stretching out words.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Call students together.
- Tell students to jump up into the air if the answer to a question is yes. Ask students, "Who likes to play games? Who thinks that they have really good hearing? Who would like to improve their spelling?"
- After building up a lot of excitement with questions like these, explain to students that today they will be playing a new game that will require them to listen and stretch out words.
Beginning
- Provide student-friendly definitions of the words "game" and "stretch."
Intermediate
- Review the letters and letter sounds of the alphabet by singing the alphabet song or using a class alphabet chart.
