Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.2.b

Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.

Prior Academic Learning and Prerequisite Skills

Prior Academic Learning and Prerequisite Skills:

The students would be able to recognize letters

The students should be able to pronounce.

The students would be able to relate pictures and give meaning.

Misconceptions:

Some students would consider pictures as relating directly with the alphabet.

Students would think that every only the pictures or words given represent the specific letters they have learned.

Lesson Plan Details

Beginning the Lesson/Introduction

Minutes [5 Minutes ]

What Teacher Will Do:

The teacher would great students, inform they are on the letter search

The teacher will remind the students that they will read the alphabet together

The teacher will inform the students that the current lesson focuses on the seeking of words of the letters

What Students Will Do:

Students would listen

Students will reflect on the previous letters

The students will read letters alongside the teacher

The students will listen and say words that they know

Introducing New Content/Skills

Minutes [5 Minutes ]

What Teacher Will Do:

Teacher would introduce flashcards and show to the students

The teacher will mention both letter and word /picture representing that letter

What Students Will Do:

Students would observe, listen what their teacher show them

Guided Practice

Minutes [ 10 Minutes ]

Formative Assessment:

What Teacher Will Do:
Teacher will enhance word reading by calling upon one student to stand and show the card to the rest of the class.

The teacher will them model and prompt the students to think aloud about the letter, picture and possible word

The assessment here is informal and observation

What Students Will Do:

The students will think aloud and relate letter, picture and word.

Independent Practice

Minutes [ 5 Minutes ]

Formative Assessment:

What Teacher Will Do:

The teacher will have to keep away the other cards and pick new ones

The teacher will ask each student to come to the front pick a flashcard and determine both the letter and word.

The teacher will help where the student fails to do so

What Students Will Do:

Students will pick flashcards and determine both words and letters

The students will listen to the teacher’s correction

Closing the Lesson

Minutes [5 Minutes ]

Summative Assessment:

What Teacher Will Do:

Teacher would review a few words and letters already covered.

The teacher will quickly raise such letters and have students identify.

What Students Will Do:

Students would review the words and later work on more letters

Extension

What Teacher Will Do:

The teacher will give a task on more words and ask students to put as many as possible for different letters

What Students Will Do:

Students would work on more tasks

Accommodations/Differentiation

Students with Special Needs or IEPs:

Students who has partial visions, will require large prints

Students with ADHD will have to be closely monitored and called upon often

English Learners:

Repetition and scaffolding will enhance their understanding of the learned concept.

They may have to understand pictures in native language then slowly learn the English word.

Lesson Rationale/Justification

Principles of Research/Theory on Learning and Teaching:

Children learn through repetitive instruction (Bredkamp (2018). Through group engagement children learn to and extend knowledge. Skinner indicates that conditions that enhance learning are those allowing a student to explore and Vygotsky says that play and exposure to knowledge enables a child learn more. All these principles helped shape the learning and assessment process.

Assessment Guide: Formative/Summative Assessment (Evidence) of Student Learning

Assessment Strategy #1:
Informal assessment Students will have to orally read the letters and accompanying words

Alignment with Lesson Goals:

In asking students to stand up and pick letters then read the words, it will be possible for them to identify the letters of the alphabet well and relate with words.

Evidence of Student Understanding/Skill:

Students will demonstrate ability to read, and express themselves using the alphabet and word that relate to this using the task (
Fountas and Pinnell, 2017).

Feedback to Students:

The students who will give right answers will receive a pat on the shoulder, and recognition through statements like good.

Assessment Strategy #2:
Formal and summative assessment

Students will work towards determining more words that relate to the target letters

Alignment with Lesson Goals:

This assessment aligns with the intended objectives to determine if the learner can identify pictures and read words that relate to each letter of the alphabet.

Evidence of Student Understanding/Skill:

By identifying more words, students will be able to work with letters from the alphabet frequently.

Feedback to Students:

The teacher will acknowledge a student who is successful in handling every word and correcting that who will fail.
