Pinky
the Pig Pops Popcorn!
Emergent Literacy Design
Rationale:
In this lesson children will identify /p/, the
phoneme represented by P.
The student will learn to recognize /p/ in spoken words by learning a meaningful
representation (popping) and the letter vowel P, learn the mouth
movements that go with P, and practice finding /p/ in words.
Materials:
-Tongue tickler "Pinky the Pig Pops Popcorn for
Polly the Penguin"
- Picture of Popcorn
- Primary writing paper and pencils
- Word list with the /p/ sound and without:
pour, pig, ball, pot, pink, dog, pick, hat, pop, put, pull
- Patâs Jam by Sheila Cushman
- P worksheet
Procedures
1.
"Today we are going to learn the letter P. The letter P makes the sound /p/p
just like popping popcorn." "Have you ever popped popcorn before?"
2.
Now let's act like we are popping popcorn. Open and close your hand like a
popcorn kernel is popping open and say /p//p//p/, while doing it. "Do you notice
the movement your lips are making when you say /p/?"
3.
Let's say the tongue tickler. I will say it first and then you say it after me.
"Pinky the Pig Pops Popcorn for Polly the Penguin." Now you say it. Now this
time when we say it we are going to pop our hands like popping popcorn when we
hear the /p/ sound. "Do you hear the /p/ sound in pat or fat?"
4.
Let me show you how to find /p/ in stop. When I say stop I'm going to stretch
out the /p/. sssss tttt oooo ppppppp.
5. For assessment I will give the child a worksheet and have them color the picture if it has the /p/ sound and write the letter in that is missing.
