Letters and Sounds Lesson Plans

1. ABC Beat the Clock Adventures- This is an interesting lesson on putting letters and words in alphabetical order that involves games and cooperative learning to solve problems.
2. ABC Bingo- This lesson reinforces the alphabet through a homemade ABC bingo game.
3. ABC Detectives- Students will alphabetize words according to the first letter while pretending to be detectives with magnifying glasses. Your students will also be working on their social skills and character development when working with their teams and partners.
4. ABC Rhyme Time- After producing a word family list, students will put the list in ABC order.
5. ABC's Transformer- This activity allows students to design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation.
6. A is for Apple: Building Letter-Recognition Fluency- Learning to recognize letters is an integral part of most kindergarten programs. The challenge is to keep students’ interest while practicing until they are fluent.
7. Alphabet Made Easy with Learning Styles- Children learn their ABCs using visual, auditory, and/or kinesthetic processes in order to speed up the process.

1. Between the Lions: Exploring Short: Vowel Sounds- In this lesson, early readers in first grade are introduced to the "Between the Lions" television program and website.
2. Building With Blends- The students learn how to blend sound components into words by completing a whole group activity with the teacher. They then use this knowledge in a station activity game where they match word parts with blends to form complete words.
3. Consonants- Create and state a series of rhyming words, including consonant blends.
4. Dr. Seuss’s Sound Words- By focusing on these sound words, this lesson helps students develop spelling strategies that help them move from phonemes, the sounds they make, to graphemes, the written representations of those sounds.
5. I Can Make a Pattern, You Can Make a Pattern- Patterns, patterns everywhere! Can you make a pattern? Students will make a physical pattern using sounds, physical movements, and manipulatives.
6. Learning the Letter "G" Sound - This lesson will help students recognize and respond to the sound of the letter G. Students create green, glittered G's on popsicle sticks.
7. Let's Visit Letter Land- Students listen to a narrative story of how the letters learn what alphabetical order is when the letters can't figure out who should start the Letter Land Parade.
8. Letters Alive, Oh, My!- I write A, you write A A A A . This lesson helps students form the letter Aa.
9. Letters Make Words- The use of magnets, metal cookie trays, and writing journals can help your children make the connections to words that they need to be successful readers.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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
14. 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.
15. Quick and Sticky Context Clues- This lesson shows students how to use beginning sounds and context clues to determine what an unknown word is.
16. Recognition of the Letter M- This lesson integrates reading with Social studies by introducing a child living in another culture (Artic).
17. 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.
18. Rhythmic 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.
19. Sound Detective- Students listen for a particular letter sound and decide whether it is at the beginning, middle or end of a word.
20. Sound Search- This lesson is for students working on letter/sound recognition.
21. Student of the Day: Create Sound/Letter Understanding With Names- Students can learn to identify letters and words by exploring one another's names and other words. Each student gets to be "Student of the Day," and the class will explore his or her name and life.
22. The Alphabet Game- Children are encouraged to see words/learning as something fun and challenging; the good spellers are an important part of the team rather than being looked down on as "bookworms".
23. The letter P- Students will be able to articulate simple sentences (expressing one thought) using present progrssive -ing forms. For example, "I am popping popcorn."
24. The Sounds of "EA"- In this lesson, the sounds of "ea" are dramatized in a PowerPoint presentation. Students will learn that "ea" can sound like a "long e," a "short e," a "long a," and more.
25. The Vowel Slide- Students will learn that every word must have a vowel.
26. Using Folk Tales: Vowel Influences on the Letter G- Folk and fairy tales are of interest to and part of the language arts curriculum for young learners. This lesson supports the study of this genre. It also supports the study of irregular patterns and letter-sound relationships related to decoding and spelling.
27. 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.
28. Using Songwriting to Build Awareness of Beginning Letter Sounds- This lesson can be adapted for kindergarten, first, or second graders. Students begin by singing a song to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
29. What Sound Does the Letter "Bb" Make?- The students will identify the letter "Bb." The students will identify the sound the letter "Bb" makes.
30. Whole-to-Parts Phonics Instruction: Teaching Letter-Sound Correspondences- This lesson uses whole-to-parts phonics instruction as an approach to beginning reading. Letter-sound correspondences are taught within a meaningful context, and in an explicit, systematic, and extensive manner.
31. Words that begin with "Q"- "The students will create sentences with "Q" words."
