Lesson:
- Play the songs for each of the sounds to be reviewed.
- Give each child one or more Sound Cards (spellings for each sound) including the sounds to be reviewed. Say a sound then have the children give you the sound card that goes with each sound.
- Use magnet letters or cards with capital and small letters to match the capitals with their small letter. Talk about if they look more alike or if they look different.
- Make words by writing or using magnet letters. You pick a vowel and a consonant to be reviewed. Let children pick another consonant and see if you can make a word or just make some fun sounds. Or you can have a child pick a vowel and another child pick a consonant then you pick another consonant that makes a word. Sound out the words together.
Activity:
- Show the children the worksheet. Have them help decide which capital letters go with which small letters.
- Give a worksheet to each child. Have them match the letters and write their name.
- Say what each picture is and ask what letter sound it starts with. Review how to make the letter on your sample worksheet, and then have each child write the letter on their worksheet. Continue until finished.
- All worksheets need to be done with a teacher and they need to be done right. Never use a worksheet to test the children. Use them as a learning experience. They are a great hands-on continuation of the lesson.
- It is fun to have them write a simple word on the back and draw a picture, such as sad.
