Pretty P
Emergent Lesson Plan
Rationale:
In order for
children to become successful readers and
writers, children need to become phonemically aware. This lesson
plan
will help the children learn to hear and recognize the phoneme
/p/.
Having the children understand that letters stand for phonemes will
help the
children to read and spell words using.
Materials:
Lined paper
and pencil.
If you
Give a Pig a Pancake By:
Pictures of a
Dog, Pizza, pie.
Worksheet
that contains pictures of pill, hill, can,
pot, plant, popcorn, fish, hair, wood.
Procedures:
1) Introduce
the lesson by explaining that words are made
up of individual letters that have sounds called phonemes. Today
we are
going to work on recognizing the letter and sound of p. A lot of
words
start with the letter p and after this lesson you will become aware of
many.
2) Ask the
students if they have ever heard the sound a
motorcycle makes. Then demonstrate by making motorcycle movements
with
your hands and making the p sound over and over. Ask the students
what
movement did their mouth make to make that sound?
3) Tell the
students to listen to this tongue twister
carefully because you are going to repeat it for me. Pretty pigs
eat pots
of peas. Have the students repeat the tongue twister three times
but
elongate the sound p, then, on the third time tell them you want them
to make a
motorcycle movement every time they here the letter p.
4) Have the
students get out their pencil and paper.
Tell them that we are going to write the letter p. I will write
it first
and then I want you to write it. As the teacher writes the letter
p she
will explain to the children to start at the fence go under the
sidewalk and
back up to the fence and then connect with a loop.
Have the
students repeat this process nine more times.
5) Then tell
the children we are going to play a
game. I am going say two words then I and going to show a
picture, I want
someone to raise their hand and tell me if which word is the picture I
am
holding up and why.
Pet and Net
then show a picture of a Dog
Pie and Apple
then show a picture of a pie
Pizza or a
Banana then show a picture of a pizza.
6) Read the
book If You Give a Pig a Pancake.
Read the story to the children. Read it again but this time, ask
the
children to make the motorcycle movement when they hear and see the
letter
p.
For
assessment:
Pass out a
work sheet that has two pictures for each
problem. Ask the children to circle the picture that starts with
the
letter p. Pictures will consist of a pill, hill, can, pot, plant,
popcorn, fish, hair, wood.
