Introduction to Our Lesson

Hello, little readers! 📚 Today, we are going to embark on a super exciting adventure into the world of reading! Are you ready? Grab your imaginary backpacks because we are going to discover the magic that books hold!

Starting Our Adventure: The Story Treasure Hunt!

Setting the Scene

To kick off our lesson, let’s imagine that we are treasure hunters! 🗺️ Our treasure today is the joy of reading! But before we find it, we must complete a few fun activities.

Activity 1: Storytime Surprise!

1. Gather Around: Let’s all sit in our cozy reading nook.
2. Story Sneak Peek: I will show you the cover of a mystery book. (Show a bright, colorful picture book with an intriguing cover.)
3. Guess the Story: Can anyone guess what the story might be about just by looking at this cover? Feel free to share your ideas!

Activity 2: Sound Adventure!

Now, we’re going to explore sounds. Every great treasure hunt begins with clues! We will listen for sounds in words.

• Sound Clue: I’m going to say a word, and I want you to clap for each sound you hear. For example: cat = clap, clap, clap!
• Let’s try it with some fun words: dog, sun, and tree!

Activity 3: Letter Treasure Map!

Now it's time to create our own treasure map! 🌈

• Materials Needed: Printed maps with letters on them, crayons, and stickers.
• Your Task: Color the letters you find on your treasure map. For every letter you color, say its name and the sound it makes!
