This three-lesson plan focuses on developing word recognition skills in kindergarten students. Spanning 60 minutes each, these sessions guide children from understanding basic letter sounds to constructing simple words and recognizing word families.
In this lesson, kindergarten students will engage in exploring the sounds of letters through a series of fun, interactive activities. The lesson aims to make learning phonics enjoyable by incorporating songs and hands-on experiences to help students identify and remember different letter sounds.
Lesson 2: Building Words with Sound
Overview
In this lesson, students will learn how to combine the letter sounds they know to form simple, short words, such as 'cat', 'dog', and 'bat'. This will build on their understanding of letter sounds and help them start reading and spelling simple words.
Lesson 3: Creating Word Families
Overview
In this lesson, students will be introduced to word families as a strategy for recognizing and understanding how words can be grouped based on similar patterns and sounds. The lesson will focus on increasing phonemic awareness by exploring common word families (e.g., -at, -it, -an, -op) and practicing word recognition and pronunciation in engaging and interactive ways.
