What do your students know coming into this lesson: I am assuming most of them know nothing while some of
them may know the alphabet.
What vocab will they need to know: What the alphabet is. Alphabet is a set of letters or symbols in a fixed order,
used to represent the basic sounds of a language; in particular, the set of letters from A to Z.

Direct Instruction/Teach:
T: How did that go for everyone?
S Goooood
T So from both of those videos who can tell me what sound S makes?
S Aiden says Ssss
T Yes! What is the motion to help you remember that again?
S *puts hands together like snake and does snake like motion while saying Sss*
T Super Aiden! Who can tell me what A sounds like?
S Kalli says Aaa
T Yes! And the motion?
S *puts arm out and does motion to her arm while saying Aaa*
T Amazing Kalli! I bet you guys want to be able to pick out S and As wherever you go right?
S YES
T Alright all eyes on the whiteboard! *makes dotted lines like on a sheet of paper* If its a capitol S what line does it go
to?
S The TOP
T Why?
S Because it's a tall letter!
T Yes! I'll start at the top, make a half c then get to the middle then make another half c but this time facing the other
way! Everyone pick out your writing finger, place it on the ground and write it out with me!
S All write their capital S on the ground while making S sound.
T Now if it's a lowercase s where does it start?
S The middle dotted line!
T Why?
S because it's a short letter!
T You don't even need me!
S *giggle*
T Ill do the exact same thing as i did for the tall S but this time i'll start at the middle dotted line. *writes it while
saying* Half c this way and then half c the other way. Let's try the short s on the carpet. This time I shouldn't see your s
take up that much space because why?
S because it's short and small!
T Perfect now let's do A. Capital A you start at the bottom shoot a Diagonal line up to the top then another diagonal
line to the bottom. Then you add one more thing to it. What is it?
S A line in the middle!
T Yes. There's your capital A. Now let's all try.
S *does A*
T Good, now for the lowercase a. Where does lower case letters go to again? How high?
S The middle line.
T Yes so let's start at the middle line make a circle then once we get back to the middle line again we shoot down to
make a tail. Now you try!
S *make a*
T: By the end of the lesson you should be able to know S & A sound and identify them. So we're going to do some
practice together!
Guided Practice/Active Engagement:
T: On the whiteboard I will write s and a tall and short. When I am done writing them all out together we will say the
name of the letter, the sound, if its a capital or lowercase letter and then write it on the floor with your writing finger!
S: * waits for me to say i'm ready*
T *points to first letter* (a) Name?
S a!
T sound?
S aaaaaa
T Big or small letter?
S Small
T Good! Now write it out! *points to next letter* (S) Name?
SS
T Sound?
S Sssss
T Big or small?
S Big!
T Now write it out. *points to next letter* (A) Name?
SA

T Big or small?

T Write the last one out! Do you guys think you're ready to practice without me?
S YESS
Today we learned...
S and A. Their name, sound, capital and lowercase and how to write them. We learned this by also learning a
song for both letters and a motion to help them remember the sounds.I used Jolly Phonics programs for the song
and motions. I wrote on the whiteboard how to write lowercase and uppercase S and As. We did some practice
together by me writing them out and pointing to them and having them say the letters name, sound and if it was
a big or small letter. They did partner work of picking out S and A and putting them into groups then I gave
them a worksheet. Lastly we watched StoryBots to re-gain their attention
