|Reading Lesson: Beginning Sounds |Grade Level: K |

|Lesson Summary: Students will learn that words have beginning sounds and begin to understand how to decode them. They work through an assessment, identifying the |

|beginning sounds b, c, d, f, and g. Then they work through the PowerPoint presentation, identifying beginning sounds b, c, d, f, and g in other words. A walk |

|around the classroom in which students identify an item in the room and its beginning sound and then share their findings concludes the whole class instruction. |

|Advanced learners represent the letters that they think are the beginning sounds of the first names of people and pets in their family. Struggling learners review |

|the beginning sounds of the words in the assessment, and then work through the PowerPoint again, identifying beginning sounds. |

|Lesson Objectives: |

| |

|The students will know… |

|that letters are associated with sounds. |

| |

|The students will be able to… |

|recognize beginning sounds. |

|Independent Practice |

|22) Students take a walk around the classroom and identify environmental words in the classroom: desk, board, door, and so on. |

| |

|23) Students write down the letter they think represents the first sound of each item on an index card. |

| |

|Closing Activity |

|24) Students share the environmental words they have used and the first sound of each. |

|Advanced Learner |

|Materials Needed: index cards or manuscript paper and pens or pencils |

|Procedure: |

| |

|Have them represent the letters that they think are the beginning sounds of the first names on index cards or manuscript paper. |

| |

|Allow time for students to share their beginning sounds with each other. |

|Struggling Learner |

|Materials Needed: PowerPoint presentation*, paper, and pens or pencils |

|Procedure: |

|Work through slides 7–11 with the students. These words represent the sounds in the pre-assessment. |
