Lesson/Unit
1. Content Area: This lesson will cover the beginner level English, specifically
focusing on kindergarteners who do not know how to read or write English.
Some of the basic areas will include:
- Review of Alphabets
(upper & lower case letters, chronological order of letters)
- Consonants & Vowels
- Letter Identification
2. Topic: The main topic of this lesson is to focus on identifying different letters in a
single word. After reviewing the alphabets, students will learn to recognize the
letters in different words, which will eventually help them to understand the
formation of words and usage of letters in written context.
3. Goals: The essential goal of this lesson is to help students to master the alphabet
letters and to understand its basic usage in different word formations. This will
guide child’s understanding of making appropriate connections between the
individual letters and words (concept of how the letter is used to create a new
word). With constant practice in working with the alphabets, students will become
more familiar with the use of written words and learn to identify correct letters in
a word.
4. Objectives: This English lesson for kindergarteners is to help children become
more familiar with our language by first mastering the alphabets, then applying
the use of letters to create written words.



My students will be able to recognize the alphabets in a chronological order
My students will be familiar with both upper and lower case of the alphabet
letters
My students will be able to understand the concept of making a word using
different letters (new idea: combination of letters create a single word)



My students will be able to glace at a given word, recognize different letters in
that word, and write it down on a piece of paper
My students will be able to identify consonants and vowels in the alphabet
My students will familiarize themselves with the written language by practice
writing words more often
5. Technology, materials and aids: Since the kindergarteners do not have access to
the computer lab, the lesson will be conducted in the classroom.
Materials needed for the lesson includes:
- 1 laptop
- 1 computer projector
- 1 white projection screen
- 1 USB cable (to connect laptop to the projector)
- Sound system (speaker)
- Alphabet activity worksheets (20 each)
- Internet connection; if access to wireless internet connection is limited,
networking cable will be needed
- Laser pointer
- Color pencils/markers (for 20 students)
6. Procedures/methods:
a. Overview: It will be a short lesson (maximum 20 minutes) because
children could concentrate only for a short period of time. The website will
be used as a general tool to help enhance students’ ability to recognize the
alphabet letters more quickly. Multicolored visualizations will be used to
capture students’ attention when reviewing the alphabets and introducing
the new words as a means to practice identifying different letters.
b. Introduction: I will begin the lesson by telling students the purpose of this
website- to make sure children fully grasp the alphabets letters and to
introduce them to the concept of how the letters are used to create different
words in English. Students will get a chance to look through the contents
of the website together.
c. Activities:
A) Introduce the Website Contents
 review the alphabet orders together
 play the ABC song
 display upper and lower case letters
 hand out a sheet for review
 introduce consonants and vowels
 consonant = b, c, d, e, …
 vowel = a, e, i, o, u
 simple words with accompanying picture
 to introduce the letter usage in a word
B) Worksheet activity
 divide students into groups of two
 each group will be given handouts with three different letters and
associating pictures
 students will be asked to identify the letters and spell out the
word on a given picture
 students will finish the activity by coloring the picture
d. Follow-up:
Homework: students will write out the alphabet (both upper and lower case
letters) one time in their notebooks. [due the following day]
Project: for students and parents to work together
 Please cut out three simple words (from magazine, printouts, cereal
boxes, etc…) beginning with any letter. Paste the word on a
construction paper and find an accompanying picture as an
illustration to help children identify the meaning of the word.
[due the following week]
(ex: cut out the word “Apple” and have a picture of an apple on the
same construction paper)
7. Technology Frameworks:



1.1 Develop basic skills for using hardware and applications (e.g., open/close
a file, navigate using scroll bars, arrow keys, special keys, and mouse).
2.1 Follow classroom rules for responsible use of computers
2.4 Develop understanding of how the computer is a tool for learning.
