|Reading Lesson: Following Directions |Grade Level: K |

|Lesson Summary: Students will learn to follow 3-5 step directions by reacting with physical activity. Students follow directions of the teacher to clap, hop, put |

|hands on head, and then perform the same activity in a different order at the teacher’s direction. Students then progress to 3-5 step directions. Students follow|

|PowerPoint to practice 3-5 step directions using icons as visual prompts. Advanced learners work together to give each other 3-5 step directions. Struggling |

|learners work individually with the teacher, who gives them individual directions, then moving on to 2-3 step consecutive directions. |

|Lesson Objectives: |

| |

|The students will know… |

|the basics of following 1- and 2-step verbal directions. |

| |

|The students will be able to… |

|students will be able to follow more detailed directions, including 3-5 step directions. |

|Learning Styles Targeted: |

|Pre-Assessment: |

|Ask students to follow two directions in a row, example: stomp your feet, clap your hands. |

| |

|Change the two-step directions to: stomp your feet twice, clap your hands once. Then change to: stomp your feet once, clap your hands once. Last 2 step |

|directions should be: stomp your feet twice, clap your hands twice. |

|Whole-Class Instruction |

|Materials Needed: PowerPoint* |

|Procedure: |

|Presentation |

|Ask students to stand by their table or desk. |

| |

|Ask students to perform three activities in a row: clap hands once, stomp feet once, put hands on head. Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 2)* |

| |

|Change the order of the directions: stomp feet once, clap hands once, put hands on head. Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 3) |

| |

|Add on another direction to the 3 already performed: clap hands once, stomp feet once, snap fingers once, put hands on head. Students respond. (See PowerPoint, |

|Slide 4) |

| |

|Change the order: snap fingers once, clap hands once, stomp feet once, put hands on head. Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 5) |

| |

|Add on additional direction, to make the directions 5-step directions: clap hands once, stomp feet once, snap fingers once, blink eyes once, put hands on head. |

|Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 6) |

| |

|Repeat the 5 step directions in a different order: stomp feet once, clap hands once, snap fingers once, blink eyes once, put hands on head. Students respond (See |

|PowerPoint, Slide 7). |

| |

|Guided Practice |

|Repeat the 5 step directions in a different order and with additional actions: clap hands twice, snap fingers twice, stomp feet twice, blink eyes twice, put hands |

|on head. Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 8) |

| |

|Repeat 5 step directions in a different order with additional actions: clap hands twice, stomp feet twice, blink eyes twice, snap fingers twice, put hands on head.|

|Students respond. (See PowerPoint, Slide 9) |

| |

|Repeat 5 step directions in a different order with additional actions: clap hands twice, snap fingers once, stomp feet twice, blink eyes once, put hands on head. |

| |

|Repeat 5 step directions in a different order with additional actions: clap hands once, snap fingers twice, stomp feet once, blink eyes twice, put hands on head. |

|(See PowerPoint, Slide 11) |

| |

|Independent Practice |

|Work with small groups of students asking them to perform 3-5 step directions. |

| |

|Increase speed of directions for an additional challenge. |

| |

|Closing Activity |

|Close by having students follow along with the icons on the PowerPoint to indicate the activity, working through the PowerPoint consecutively. Cue the students to |

|the number on each activity. |

|Advanced Learner |

|Materials Needed: none |

|Procedure: |

|Two students work together to give each other 3-5 step directions. |

|Struggling Learner |
