Learning Objectives
Students will be able to identify the m sound phonetically and written as the letter M. Students will be able to choose objects that start with the m sound.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(2 minutes)
- Call students together.
- Display the cover of the text Millie Waits for the Mail to the class. Ask the students to identify the animals in the picture (cow, chickens).
- Say, “Today we are going to read a book about a cow named Millie. What sound do you hear in the beginning of her name? Let’s all say it together: mmm, Millie. This is the sound the letter M makes.”
Beginning
- Preview the read-aloud by going on a picture walk.
- Provide visuals of different farm animals and share their names in both English and student home language (L1) if possible.
Intermediate
- Provide students visuals of different farm animals and have them pair share with a peer what they notice about the animals.
