Teacher Explains Task
We will be learning about the letters of the alphabet. The letters of the alphabet have a special order
that they follow. Once we practice putting letters in order we’re going to learn about putting words into
ABC order. ABC order means that you look at the first letter of a word and put them in order according
to the letters of the alphabet.
Teacher Models Task
Teacher needs to pull up one of the first two websites listed. Demonstrate playing Whack a Mole or the ABC order
train. For Whack a Mole show the student how to use the mouse to hit the mole that has the appropriate letter of
the alphabet. The student should be hitting the letter of the alphabet that comes next. If you decide to play the
ABC order train the student will need to drag the correct barrel to put on the train. The teacher should show the
student this process 2 or 3 times.
Teacher and Students Practice Task Together
Teacher and student will practice together. Make sure to discuss why the student is putting a particular letter
next. Ask the student how he knows that letter comes next.
Students Practice Task
Students will work independently to practice putting letters in order.
Independent Practice
Student continues working independently. Once the student has put letters in order correctly multiple times the
teacher should move the student into putting words into order.
Teacher Explains Task

Remind the student what it means to put words into ABC order, which was discussed previously.
Teacher Models Task

the alphabet on the bottom of the page to check your work.
