Phonics Review Lesson

• 5 students participate in a small group, Fundations intervention
• Review and practice consonant letter and their sounds through a sensory bin activity
• Objective: We will use our prior knowledge to identify consonant letters and letter-sounds of b, f, t, m, n, c, and r.

Examples

Changes

• Allowed the students to keep their cards when going over the answers
• Or had a flipchart of each card - we could go over together with a visual
• Had students share a letter, its sound and an object

Modeling & Explore

Closing &

Formative Assessments

Effective

• Students were excited about the sensory bin
• Fundations is a scripted intervention-Students were excited to show their knowledge through other activities
• Resource of the large letter-keyword-sound cards

• Go over the answers to the activity cards
• Thumbs up, Thumbs down EPR
• Collect data of placement of the objects
• Activity cards

• Introduce sensory bin and its rules
• Exploration of sensory bin
• Put small Fundations letter cards in the sensory bin
• Students took turns pulling out a card:

identify letter-keyword-sound

• Letter cards on white board
• Asked students to think of objects that began with these letters (one at a time)
• Prompted with questions
• Wrote their ideas on an anchor chart next to the appropriate letter

Effective

• Students were able to relate to the pictures on the cards
• Enjoyed the activity
• Make the connection from the sensory bin to the activity card
• Immediate feedback during the lesson and after the independent activity cards

Examples

Changes

• Performed the lesson in the “under the sea” room where technology and more space is available - ActivInspire flipchart
• The rice left a chalky residue on the cards and the hands of the students - different material
• Instead of having students develop their own list of objects, difficult and took a long time - graphic organizer

UDL Principles & Differentiation

Independent Practice

Guided Practice

“Which Letter” activity cards

• Picture of one object
• Given 3 letters- must circle the letter the object begins with

• Multiple means of Representation
• Multiple means of Engagement
• Multiple means of Expression

• Sensory bin- pull out objects that begin with the 7 letters we are reviewing
• Show the object to everyone, identify the letter-keyword-sound and place it in its correct labeled tub

“Which One Doesn’t Belong” activity cards

• Each card has 4 pictures- 3 of the same beginning sound
• Students must write an X over the one that doesn’t belong

Changes

Example

• Would have laminated all of the activity cards and have students use dry erase markers
• Placed them on a key ring
• Had students have different objects on their cards or simply just put them in different orders - couldn't compare during the activity

Example

Changes

Effective

• Have students explore all of the objects before placing them in the sensory been
• Use less letters: 5 rather than 7

Effective

Clear demonstration if the students were able to replicate the skill we practiced during the lesson through the activity cards

• Students were engaged throughout the entire activity
• Able to discover the beginning sound of the objects – used letter-keyword-sound cards resource to help identify the correct lettered tub
• Discover multiple objects that begin with a letter sound and practiced the letter sound using different words and matching it with the correct written letter
