Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify letters in a variety of real-life environments.

Introduction

(10 minutes)
  • Call students together.
  • Read Dr. Seuss' ABC.
  • While reading, encourage students to point out letters around the room that match the letters being talked about in the book.
  • Conclude the book by singing the ABC song as a group and pointing out letters on an alphabet chart.

Beginning

  • Provide students with individual copies of an alphabet chart to follow along with as you read the text.
  • Echo-sing the ABC song to support students who might not be familiar with the song in English.

Intermediate

  • Display a large alphabet chart in the classroom and identify each letter of the alphabet as you read about it in the book. Invite students to point to the letters using a pointer or their finger.
