I began this lesson with an Alphabet Assessment Checklist. I asked Nicholas to identify all lowercase letters. Although we have not studied all the letters, I wanted to see what he may know from his regular school day. We then reviewed the name and sound for all the letters we have looked at in depth: Nn, Ss, Ll, Pp, Aa, Tt, Ff, Cc, Kk, Mm Nicholas located the foam letters K, C, and M on a strip of capital foam letters. He "punched out" these letters. He did the same with k, c, and m. He then took all the (foam) letters we have studied and matched the uppercase letter to the correct lowercase letter. This gave him an extra chance to identify letters and sounds. I asked Nicholas to print the uppercase letters mentioned above. I did not provide a model. Since "M" and "K" are new letters, we worked on printing them together. I asked Nicholas to print his first name. I then printed "Nicholas" and asked him to identify each letter.
