This lesson will be taught using a combination of direct instruction, hands-on activities, and interactive games to engage and reinforce learning.
Resources/Materials Required:
- Alphabet flashcards
- Whiteboard or chart paper

Instructions:
Introduction (5 minutes):
Begin the lesson by gathering the students in a circle and showing them the alphabet flashcards. Introduce the concept of letter sounds and explain that each letter makes a specific sound.
Letter Sound Exploration (15 minutes):
Display a letter on the whiteboard or chart paper and ask the students to identify the letter. Then, ask them to make the corresponding sound. Repeat this process for several letters, encouraging active participation from the students.
Letter Sound Matching (10 minutes):
Distribute letter manipulatives to each student. Call out a letter sound, and ask the students to find and hold up the corresponding letter. Repeat this activity with different letter sounds, allowing students to practice associating sounds with letters.
Spelling Simple Words (15 minutes):
Show the students word cards with simple, three-letter words (e.g., cat, dog, hat). Say the word aloud and ask the students to identify the beginning sound. Then, guide them to select the corresponding letters and arrange them to spell the word. Encourage students to sound out the word as they spell it.
Interactive Game (10 minutes):
If available, use an interactive online game or app that focuses on letter sounds and spelling. Allow students to take turns playing the game, providing guidance and support as needed.
Assessment (5 minutes):
Conclude the lesson by assessing the students' understanding of letter sounds. Show them random letters and ask them to make the corresponding sounds. Provide positive reinforcement and feedback.
Conclusion:
This pre-kindergarten spelling lesson introduces letter sounds through interactive activities and games. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify and recognize letter sounds, associate them with corresponding letters, develop phonemic awareness, and begin to spell simple words.
