Rationale: Children must be phonemically aware to be able to read
successfully, Short vowels are the most important letters for children
to know. This lesson will help the students learn the phoneme /i/. In
this lesson students will practice /i/ sound by moving their mouths and
making faces to make the/i/ sound.

Procedures:
1)
Start
by telling the students that they are going to be learning about
the letter
i today. Show the students a picture of the insect and
ask the children what sound they hear in the beginning of
i-i-i-i-insect. That���s right! You hear the sound /i/. What letter
makes the sound /i/? That is right, I.
2)
Tell
the students that when you make the /i/ sound that your mouth is
open and your tongue is slightly lowered. Model this then have the
class try this together.
3)
Show
the class the picture of the girl and the stinky dog. Tell them to
make an icky face like the girl in the picture. What kind of face would
you make if your dog was sprayed by a skunk? It would be i-i-i-icky.
4)
Now
show the students how to find the /i/ sound in a word. Under the
picture of the insect will be a tongue tickler. ���The
important
Indian's iguana ate the insect���. Say the tongue tickler
once then say it again stretching it out to demonstrate making the icky
face. ���The i-i-i-important i-i-i-i-indian���s i-i-i-iguana ate the
i-i-i-insect���. Now as the students to say it with you have them make
the icky face every time they hear the /i/ sound.
5)
Now
say two words and have the children tell you which one they hear
the /i/ sound in.
Brick or block
Twist or blend
Drip or drop
Clip or cut
6)
Now
have the children take out their primary paper. Model an example of
how to write an i. Go down from the fence, and give
him a feather. Now have the students write five perfect
i���s.
7)
Now
read to the students ���Tin Man Fix it.��� Give the students a
short book talk first to engage them. ���Tin man is the fix it man.
Sid, a big kid bumps into Tim. Bam! Sid knocks him down. Do you think
Tim the fix it man can fix tin man? We will have to read to find
out.��� Before starting to read remind the students that every time
they hear the /i/ sound to make their icky face.
8)
Now
give the students the worksheet listed above from the website. They
will trace the letter i and match the sounds to pictures.
Assessment: I will be able to assess the children from the worksheet.
