Reading Lesson Plan For Young Learners

Age/ Topic: Young learners 7-12 / Farm Animals

Aim: To teach farm animals and improve student’s reading skills.

Materials: Flashcards, Animal music video, worksheets about reading text, paper, coloring
pencils, and star stickers.

Time: 40 minutes

Steps Procedures

● The teacher starts with a question to draw attention. After students

answer the question, they listen to the “Farm Animal Song” together
while accompanying it.

● After listening and enjoying it, the teacher teaches the target words
Pre-reading with flashcards using the repetition technique and animal imitations.

● Do a match with the word activity.

● The teacher gives the reading text (That’s Strange) to the students and
wants them to take a look at it for 5 minutes. (Scanning) At first, the
teacher read the text slowly and loudly. After that, students read it
While-listening loudly one by one (to control their focus). Finally, they start to do
activities related to the text.

● What’s the order? (Put the sentences in order activity)

● True/False activity

● The answers are checked by the whole class with the teacher. If there is
an error, it is fixed by the teacher. (do not demoralization)

● Drawing and coloring: At the end of the lesson, the teacher gives the
students paper and coloring pencils, asks them to draw their favorite
Post-listening farm animal that they learned today and color it. ( in company with the
farm animal music)

● Lastly the teacher sticks the star stickers to all the drawings for a prize.
