|Reading Lesson: Letters and Sounds |Grade Level: K |

|Lesson Summary: Students are reminded that letters represent sounds and that clusters of letters form words. Students are divided into small groups, depending on |

|class size, and are given flashcards or note cards based on the letters of the alphabet. Student groups then share the individual sounds of the letters they have |

|been assigned. Students are asked to identify a word that begins with the sounds they have been assigned. During independent practice, students complete a |

|worksheet that will ask them to identify beginning sounds of various picture words. As a closing activity, students share their worksheets. Advanced learners will |

|work through the entire alphabet, using cards to come up with letter sounds of each letter. Struggling learners will play a game with a small group of students, |

|showing the flashcard or index card and asking for the beginning sound that the letter makes. |

|Lesson Objectives: |

| |

|The students will know… |

|that letters represent sounds. |

| |

| |

|Guided Practice |

|Divide students into pairs or groups of three and assign them 2–3 letters of the alphabet, depending on class size. |

| |

|Ask the first pair of students to share the first sound of the letters they have been given. |

| |

|Then ask the pair of students to come up with words that begin with each letter. Write the words on the flip chart. |

| |

|Ask the next pair of students to share the first sound of the letters they have been given. |

| |

|Then ask the pair of students to come up with words that begin with each letter. Write the words on the flip chart. |

| |

|Continue asking pairs or groups of students until the class has completed the alphabet. |

| |

|Independent Practice |

|Students will complete a worksheet* that will ask them to identify beginning sounds of various picture words. |

| |

|Closing Activity |

|Students share their worksheets. |
