What instructional materials (e.g., books, video, hands-on activities, etc…) first page has a sentence that starts with a word that begins with an “a,” the second page starts with “b,” etc.). For example, “Alphabet stories are fun. Boys and girls can write whatever they like. Creating 26 sentences that are in alphabetical order may be hard.”
-Students who are ADHD may struggle with creating 26 pictures that go along with each sentence as they may lose interest/attention.
-Students who struggle with writing will have trouble writing a 26-page alphabetically ordered book.
-Students who have trouble recalling basic facts may struggle with coming up with basic sight words that start with each letter of the alphabet.
Most of the class has trouble memorizing/recalling basic facts.
Thus, students may struggle creating a book that has the first word of page/sentence in alphabetical order.
-Students with ADHD, LD, and ASD may struggle in following directions.
Students who have difficulty writing may struggle writing with a pencil.
-Students who have trouble recalling basic facts may have difficulties with coming up with words for each letter in the alphabet (phonemic and phonological awareness)

are used in this lesson?
Illustration Materials (crayons, markers, scissors, glue, collage materials)
Legal-Sized Paper of half sheets of poster board (Max of
13/student)
Sentence Strips or Strips of Cardstock measuring 2”x 11”
(max of 26 strips/student)
Alphabetic Organizer
What does the teacher do during this lesson?
At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher introduces the lesson, by asking students to fill out an alphabetic organizer, which asks students to list words that start with each letter in the alphabet. Then the teacher asks the students some words that they came up with, and writes them down on the board in the front of the classroom.
The teacher demonstrates how to make a book in the front of the class, by writing a sentence on the sentence strip and drawing a picture to go along with the sentence strip that starts with the letter
“A.” Afterwards, the teacher hands out 26 sentence strips, Legal-
Sized Paper of half sheets of poster board, and other materials needed to each student.
What are students required to do during this lesson?
-Fill out an alphabetic organizer
-Write a sentence that starts with each letter in the alphabet on sentence strips
-Glue each sentence strip on each paper of the book
-Draw an illustration with markers/crayons that goes along with each
-Students with ADHD, LD, and ASD may struggle to stay on task, since there are multiple illustration materials.
-Students who struggle with writing may struggle writing on the sentence strips as they may not write from left to write, etc.
In this lesson, the teacher does not wander around the classroom while students are working individually, to assist the students who have disabilities and who may be struggling.
Students who cannot write with a pencil and who have difficulty writing (disorganized and spelling errors) will struggle with writing an alphabetic book.

page of the book (26 pages=26 illustrations).
How are students assessed during and after the lesson?
After the lesson, use a formal assessment by using the Alphabetical
Stories Rubric to assess each student’s book. In the assessment, students are graded on punctuation and sentence structure, illustrations that relate to the story, sentences that loosely tell a story, sentences that are in alphabetical order, and students complete assignments appropriately and on time.
What level of engagement, motivation, social interaction, and/or on-task
behavior will it require for students to succeed at this lesson?
This lesson requires high motivation, on-task behavior, and engagement, as students are expected to complete a 26 page book, which requires a significant amount of patience since each page will have a sentence (on a sentence strip) and an illustration.
This lesson does not require a significant amount of social interaction as this lesson is done individually. However, there is some social interaction needed, as students are expected to share the words that they came up with on the Alphabetic Organizer.
-Students who have difficulty writing (disorganized and spelling errors) will be marked down due lack of neatness and punctuation & sentence structure.
-Students who have ADHD may struggle with turning in the project on time.
-All students who have disabilities may struggle with making their book that not only follows the alphabetic order, but also has a storyline.
Students who have difficulty writing and students who have
ADHD may struggle with this lesson and sitting still and staying on task, since it will require a lot of work, time, and determination writing a 26-page book.
