Lesson Plan•Before Lesson:

•Save this lesson to the student server.

•Print the Powerpoint as a Notes Page for you to follow.

•In the lab:

•Sit students on the floor and explain the lesson…how to open powerpoint, how to click on slides, how to undo, how to click on a box and then click on the paint bucket to fill the box for each sound, how to click next to a star and type when they have the text cursor, and show students how to click on the slide view (the 3rd mini icon in lower left). This is so they won’t see your notes but still be able to work on a slide.

•Have the students open the PowerPoint, click on slide 1 and choose slide view.

•Have the students click next to the star beside Name and type their name.

•Have students click on slide 2 and wait for further instructions.

Lesson

Slides 2, 3, 5, 7,8,10, 12, 13, and 15: Explain that you’re going to read aloud a word. Tell them that they should count how many sounds they hear in the word and use the paint bucket to fill a box for each discrete sound. For example, you might say the word ‘sat’, and the children should fill three boxes on their slide, one for each sound.

Slides 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, and 16: Have the students click the star * next to the question “Which sound is different?” Help them understand that only one sound is different in the two words. Ask them to type the sound that is different.
