Lesson Topic
Identifying letters and their sounds
Lesson Outline
Using our alphabet cards, Nicholas stated the name and sound of the letters we have studied...Aa Cc Ff Hh Kk Ll Mm Nn Pp Ss Tt Vv Ii..Nicholas did well, only forgetting the sound for short /i/. For each card he would say, for example, "Mm /m/ mitten." On several occasions, Nicholas also suggested his own word for the letter on the card. We focused on our newest letter "Ii" and the sound for short /i/. We reviewed the alphabet card, stretching "iiiiiguana." We reviewed the take-home card, stretching "iiiiitty-bitty iiiiinchworm." Nicholas and I then read/sang the short song, "I is for Iguana." It is sung to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It." Nicholas then highlighted each "I" and "i" in the song. The next activity focused on the letters and sounds for "Hh," "Vv," "Kk," and "Ii." He matched pictures to each letter, focusing on the first sound heard in the picture. We then worked on the sight words, "is" and "for." I introduced the sight word "The/the."

Lesson Comments
Nicholas sometimes calls the letter "M" a "W." He still has difficulty associating the first sound of a word to the picture he is looking at. For example, shown a picture of an "alligator" with the letter "Aa," he will say, "Aa" /a/, "crocodile." He just said the sound for short /a/, yet he says "crocodile," which does not begin with short /a/.
