Lesson Title: Phonemic Awareness through nursery rhymes

Subject: Manipulating Phonemes & Recognizing Beginning Sounds

Grade Level: PreK-Kinder-First
Teaching Arrangement/Student Group(s): Large Group /Small Group

Lesson Justification: Phonemic awareness is a subcategory of phonological awareness that focuses more specifically on the identification and
manipulation of the smallest meaningful, individual sounds of spoken language. Phonemic awareness is an understanding of how the sounds of
spoken language work together to form words. (Carnine, Silbert, Kame’enui, Slocum & Travers, Direct Instruction Reading 2017). This lesson
focuses on beginning sounds of words (recognition and isolation beginning sounds and substitution and deletion). Phonemic awareness is a
foundational linguistic skill that can be taught through direct instruction by teachers as early as preschool.

Learning Goals: Part of a unit in Phonemic Awareness through Nursery Rhymes. Students recognize and isolate beginning sounds, and use
substitution and deletion.

Lesson Objective: The lesson objective is to develop phonemic skills through nursery rhyme recall, and beginning sound awareness. Using 3 words
(wall, fall and all) students will be measured over 5 consecutive daily 15 minute lessons to indicate if they successfully could recognize and isolate
beginning sounds /w/ and /f/, if they could substitute/ w/ for/ f/ and vice versa, if they could delete /w/ and /f/ to get all

Standards: Strand- Reading Foundational; Topic- Phonological Awareness; Code- K.RF.2;CCSS-Demonstrate understanding of spoken words,
syllables, and sounds (phonemes). d. Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-
vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.*(This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/,or /x/.)e. Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in
simple, one-syllable words to make new words.
