- Name
Talk: Exploring Letter-Sound Knowledge in the Primary Classroom-
This lesson invites pre-school through first grade students to share
what they know about letters and sounds with a small group of their
peers, as well as gives teachers an opportunity to assess that knowledge
in a more meaningful context than traditional “screening” sessions achieve.
- Names
Count!- Using the number of letters in their names and in fairy
tale characters' names, students work in small groups to complete a
graph and use data to determine range, mode, and median.
- Ordering
the Alphabet- Students learn how to order the letters in the alphabet
using twenty words, using names of objects found at home and school,
names of animals, and color words.
- Phonics
In Context- Apply their knowledge of the phonic element short /u/
to words they heard in the read-aloud that they will decode in print
- Phonics
Fun- To use sound addition and subtraction to make new words. Good
for 1 to 1 with special educational needs such as dyslexic children.
- Quick
and Sticky Context Clues- This lesson shows students how to use
beginning sounds and context clues to determine what an unknown word
is.
- Recognition
of the Letter M- This lesson integrates reading with Social studies
by introducing a child living in another culture (Artic).
- Reinforcing Alphabet
Names/Sounds- Knowledge of the alphabet is essential to beginning
reading. This activity is a way to reinforce these skills with young
children in a fun way.

Patterns- This lesson is made so the students have examples of how
syncopated rhythm sounds. The teacher is going to assign three different
groups different rhythm patterns and different sounds. They are going
to play them individually then together as a class.
- Sound
Detective- Students listen for a particular letter sound and decide
whether it is at the beginning, middle or end of a word.

- The
Alphabet Game- Children are encouraged to see words/learning as
something fun and challenging; the good spellers are an important part

- Using
Folk Tales: Vowel Influences on the Letter G- Folk and fairy tales

the study of irregular patterns and letter-sound relationships related
to decoding and spelling.
- Using
Repetition and Picture Cues to Foster Independent Young Readers-
This lesson encourages students to use their knowledge of letters and
sounds to make an alphabet book. Each book focuses on a specific letter.
- Using
Songwriting to Build Awareness of Beginning Letter Sounds- This
lesson can be adapted for kindergarten, first, or second graders. Students
