Students will be able to identify and select uppercase letters based on their corresponding sounds.

Introduction

Begin by explaining to the students that today's lesson is about selecting uppercase letters based on the sounds they hear. Introduce the concept of associating letter sounds with words.

Guided Practice

Distribute the Guided Practice Worksheet: Select Uppercase Letters by Sound. Use word cards with different initial sounds and guide students to circle the corresponding uppercase letters on the worksheet. This can be done in pairs or small groups.

Independent Practice

Distribute the Independent Practice Worksheet: Select Uppercase Letters by Sound. Provide students with additional word cards and have them independently circle the uppercase letters corresponding to the sounds. Monitor and assess for misconceptions, intervening as needed.

Differentiation

Support

Offer one-on-one support for students struggling with letter-sound associations. Provide additional word cards for extra practice.

Extension

Introduce more complex words with varied letter sounds. Have students create their own word cards to share with peers.

Assessment

Assess student understanding through observations during guided and independent practice, as well as the exit ticket.

Review and closing

Summarize the importance of recognizing uppercase letters by their sounds and its role in developing strong reading foundations.

Misconceptions

Some students may struggle with distinguishing between similar letter sounds. Provide additional examples and reinforcement.
