It’s important for your students to learn the consonant sounds. When they know the consonant sounds, they are ready to add vowel sounds and begin to read. The following lesson is part of our reading program. We use word families as a strategy to help ANYONE learn to read. Download our free book package HERE!!
Learning Consonant Sounds Lesson Plan:
Materials: Consonant Picture Cards (You can download our picture cards for FREE!! Click here!!).
Teacher: Shows the student a new Consonant Picture Card, i.e., t -tent, and points to the picture.
Student: Says the word for the picture, “tent.”
Teacher: Helps the student hear and say the first sound in the word.
Student: Says the first sound, “/t/”.*
Teacher: Gives the student the name for the first letter, “t.”
Student: Writes** the letter on the card. Says the letter, its sound and the word, “t, /t/, tent.”
*The letter, i.e. /t/, between slash marks means that the letter’s sound is to be said, not the letter’s name.
** Writing Information: Whenever the student “writes” a letter or word on a card, the student may do so by:
-Tracing the letter or word with his or her finger.
-Writing the letter or word with a dry erase marker on a laminated card or on a
plastic sheet placed over the card.
-Writing the letter or word with any marker directly on a copy of the card.
-Writing the letter or word on tracing paper placed over the card.
Note: Dots and arrows on the Consonant & Vowel Picture Cards show the student where to start writing the letters.
