Learning Objectives
Students will be able to blend letter sounds together to create basic words.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(10 minutes)
- Ask students the following questions: How do you make a word? Have them think-pair-share their response, and guide them to the understanding that letters, that represent sounds, make up words when we put them in particular sequences.
- Explain to the students that they will be playing a fun game using letter sounds to create words.
- Get out your alphabet cards, and choose a card.
- Hold the letter up and ask your students to make the sound of the letter. For example, if you have the letter S, ask your students to make the *s *sound.
- Repeat this process a few times, picking different letter cards.
- Write the letters A, C, T, and S on the board.
- Ask a student to volunteer to figure out a word using the letters on the board.
Beginning
- Review the alphabet and letter sounds using a classroom alphabet chart.
Intermediate
- Say the letter sound aloud and have students repeat the sound after you chorally.
- Have students turn and talk to share a word that begins with each letter.
