Objective – Students will be able to recognize and sort words beginning and ending with the letter P

Materials – Pictures for pocket chart, pocket chart, pointer, and word short sheet. Lesson Sequence –

-Lesson Introduction: “Boys and girls today we are going to learn about words that begin and end with the letter P. Who can tell me what sound the letter P makes? Let’s all say it together. Boys and girls, right now what are you learning about that begins with the letter P? Let’s look at the board see if we can find a picture of a word that ends with P.”

-State Objective and Purpose: “When we know what sounds letters make in words it is much easier for us to read them. Today we are going to look and pictures and decide whether the word begins or ends with the sound P”

- Teach and Model: “Look at the pocket chart at all of the pictures of the words beginning and ending with P, lets sort them into these two groups. Let’s look at Penguin, /P/enguin, this word starts with /P/ so it goes under the P— heading. Now let’s look at mop, mo/p/, this word ends with /p/ so it goes under the –p heading”

-Guided Practice: “Boys and girls, who wants to come up and help me sort these words, oh look, there’s another word that ends with /p/, help! I want teach of you to come up, I’ll give you a picture and you have to say the word and decide where it goes, of your not sure, ask me or the class to help you” I will then call on each member of the class to sort one word, scaffolding as needed.

-Independent Practice: Students will work with a worksheet at group time where they will have four pictures of words in each category that they have to sort. I will go over what each of the pictures are before the lesson is over.

-Closure: “What did you learn today? What are you going to do at the yellow table today?”Why is it important that we know what sounds are in a word?”

-How will you know that the lesson is successful? -I will know the lesson is successful if the students are able to sort the words into the two groups when doing independent work at the yellow table.
