Title of the lesson: Short Stories, What sounds do you hear ?

Length of the lesson: 1hour  

Central focus: Practice recognizing sounds of the letters and matching them to create a story. Key questions:      · Why do you need to know how to blend sounds?      ·  How can blending sounds make a word?      ·  Which sounds do you hear?      ·  Can you retell the story?

Knowledge of students: Students will have prior knowledge of their alphabet, letter sound and phonological awareness.

Common Core State Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.1.2 Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.

Support literacy development through language: This lesson will help students with sounds, blending letters, reading sight words and short stories.

Learning objectives      · Students will be able to learn how to read focusing on specific sounds.      · Students will be able to learn a larger vase of words.      ·  Students will be able to blend sounds together in order to read a word.      ·   Students will be able to describe the story.

Formal and informal assessment:     1.  Were students able to read the word by blending the proper sounds together?     2.   Were students able to retell the story after reading it?     3.   Were students able to tell which sounds they often heard?

Instructional procedure:      1.    During circle time students and teacher will go over blending sounds with flashcards and sight words. The teacher will focus on the sound she is doing with the flashcard. Each student will have the chance to read a word. Any sounds the students have trouble with will be reviewed during that time.      2.     Students will then go to the computers and tablets that are provided in the classroom to log on to kidsphonics.com. They computers will already be on the page for the students to start using.      3.     Depending on my assessment of each student I will assign each student to a specific “sound” reading game on the kidsphonics.      4.     Students will listen to the story twice and then read it on their own. While reading it on their own students would need to underline the sound they hear frequently. Accommodations and Modifications: Students that need to listen to the story more than twice will have the opportunity to. One on one will be available if needed. Students will also have headphones to concentrate and not get distracted.
