Relevant SC Standards:

ELA.K.F.3 - Know and apply phonics and word analysis skills in

decoding and encoding words.

ELA.K.F.3.1 - Identify, name, and form all upper and lowercase letters with
automaticity.

ELA.K.F.3.2 – Compare and contrast letters based on similarities and differences,

including name, shape, sound, and approach strokes for writing.

ELA.K.F.3.3 - Produce one-to one letter sound correspondences for each consonant with

ELA.K.F.3.4 Identify the vowel and produce the vowel sound in a printed syllable or word

b. in an open syllable (e.g. he, so, me, go, hi); and c. in a vowel- consonant-e (VCe)

syllable with prompting and support.

Description: This app lesson helps students identify vowel sounds and produce the
vowel sound.

Instructional Objective: Students will learn letter-writing skills by first tracing

letters using a variety of templates before writing letters independently.

Step 1: Students will match the letter to complete remainder of the word to complete
the word they hear.
