Today, we will embark on an exciting journey into the world of phonics! By the end of this lesson, you will be able to recognize and pronounce different sounds made by letters and how they come together to form words. We'll also have some fun with animal sounds!
Before we start learning about phonics, let’s get our minds warmed up and our voices ready!
Animal Sound Game
Let’s play a guessing game! I will imitate an animal sound, and you will guess which animal it is. Ready? Here’s the first one: Moo!
(Pause for students to respond with the answer "cow.")
Discuss the Sounds
Great job! A cow goes "moo." Now, what letter do you think starts the word 'cow'?
(Encourage students to shout out the letter "C.")
Exactly! “C” makes the /k/ sound.
Introducing Phonics
Today, we will explore how letters create sounds in words just like how animals create sounds. We will learn how to recognize these sounds and put them together to form words.
Now that we're awake and our voices are warmed up with animal sounds, let’s dive into the world of phonics! First, we'll learn some key letter sounds, just like the sounds we heard from our animal friends.
Get ready for a fun and interactive phonics adventure!
To get started, we will sing a song about the sounds of the alphabet, and then we'll explore some picture cards where you'll match the letter to the sound it makes. Are you excited? Let’s learn and have fun together!
This approach will engage first-graders from the very start of the lesson while making the learning experience enjoyable and memorable!
