55 sec 1. Introduce the lesson topic
2. Hand out quiz and instruct students to wait for the end of the lesson to
complete it.
3. Switch to the phonics slides…
4. Instruct the students to say the first letter’s name and sound followed by the
name of the object. (Use ‘A’ as an example)

10 sec 3. Differentiation Considerations:

 - Students who finish the quiz early can identify the first letter of their
names at the bottom of the quiz
- Students who fall behind/struggle can fill out two answers to demonstrate
understanding

35 sec - Assessment: Previously mentioned phonics quiz will assess student

understanding based on how many blanks are filled in with the proper
letter.
- Introduce Quiz
- Instruct students to fill in the spaces using what they have just learned
- Ask students by raise of hands what they believe the answer to be and who
agrees.
- Reveal answers one at a time.

30 sec 4. Closure: Ask students:

- Who would like to share an example of their name and the letter it starts
with?
- “Today we learned all about phonics. You guys will be able to use phonics
to help you sound out words and eventually learn to read and write.”
