Read Aloud Lesson Plan
Genre Presentation
Beginning Sound Lesson Plan
Monkey Shake Lesson Plan
- The purpose of this lesson plan is to introduce the students to a new book for a read-aloud lesson. Read-alouds help students be able to listen to the book and discuss the book in the beginning, between, and after the book has been read. The teacher has the attention of each child and has the opportunity to make reading interesting and engaging to the students. I will read the book I Don’t Want to be A Frog. This is a great book for students to understand that it is important to be yourself and not others. I want the students to understand that they should love themselves just the way they are.

Beginning Sound Lesson Plan
- The purpose of this lesson plan is to enhance the students understanding of beginning sounds. Beginning Sounds are important with assisting student’s development and understanding of phonics and phonemic awareness. With grasping the concept of beginning sounds, they are able to improve their reading and writing skills, also expanding their vocabulary. For this lesson, I will play beginning sound bingo to help students with their beginning sounds in an interesting and engaging way. The following lesson plan is referenced towards Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS), I got the bingo boards and picture cards from PALS (https://pals.virginia.edu/pdfs/activities/beginning-sounds/initial_sound_bingo.pdf) and I will use them to implement this lesson plan.
