CCSS. ELA-Literacy.W.K.3 Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event
or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a
reaction to what happened.
Teacher Input
First, the students will start off by practicing the letter of the week. They will have to write the upper case and lower case
letters a few times to practice and review. The students will also have to say what sound the letter makes. Next, the
students will practice writing words that begin with the letter. As a group we will say the word, sound the word out, and
spell the word together. Then, the students will write a simple sentence. This will be done as a group, they will see me
write the sentence on the board and they will copy it onto their white boards. Finally, the student will have to read the
sentence back to me.
Essential Question
Can you tell me what sound the letter makes?
Unit Questions
We’ve been learning our letter sounds, can anyone tell me a letter sound they remember?
Can anyone tell me what letter this sound belongs to? (teacher makes letter sound).
Content Questions
What do you remember from our previous letters?
Can you read me the sentence you just wrote?
Can you write your own sentence now?
Introduction
To begin the lesson, we will discuss the letter of the week. We will talk about words that begin with that letter. I will model
this lesson by sounding the words out with the students and then practice writing them on the white board.
Guided Practice
First, as a class we will talk about the letter that we are learning about. The children will say what letter it is and will
practice making the letter sound. Second, we will say a word together and use stretchy the snake to sound out the word
and listen for each letter. The students will be able to tell me what letters they hear and I will spell the word on the board.
Then, the students will write the word on their board. When they complete the task, the children will raise their white
boards and read the word back to me. Third, when the children are comfortable writing and reading the word to me we will
begin to write sentences. Once the children complete the task they will raise the white boards and I will check their work.
After, the child will read the sentence back to me. If the child is struggling I will help the child sound out each word so they
can read the sentence.
Closure
Students will have learned a new letter and will be able to confidently sound out the letter.
Independent Practice
Students will independently practice writing the sentences after we talk about them as a class.
