Common Core Learning Standard(s) Addressed:
I can recognize and make rhyming words RF.K.2
Learning Target(s): (What will you the student know & be able to do as a result of this
lesson?) He will be able to use the word sorter manipulates to create small CVC words

Relevance/Rationale: (Why are the outcomes of this lesson important in the real world?
Why are these outcomes essential for future learning?)
Being able to build small CVC words allows the student to learn basic spelling and reading
skills. This skill can be built upon as student grows and becomes more fluent.
Formative Assessment Criteria for Success: (How will you & your students know if they
have successfully met the outcomes? What specific criteria will be met in a successful
product/process? What does success on this lessons outcomes look like?)
The skill can be assessed by how well the student can manipulate the letter sort to form
words and identify rhymes, letter sounds, vowels and blends.

Activities/Tasks: (What learning experiences will students engage in? How will you use
these learning experiences or their student products as formative assessment
opportunities?)
The activity will give the student the opportunity to create written words outside of pen
and paper, as well as the ability to discuss sounds, blends and rhymes as we build words.

Section B
What is it that I expect my student to learn?
CVC word building, phonological awareness of rhymes like cat, sat, bat etc.
How will I know when they have learned it? Observational Assessment of independent use
of manipulatives
How will I respond when they don't learn? I will try other methods and present the concept
by other means like utilizing sand writing or movement
How will I respond when they already know it? I will expand the lesson to the next step like
CVVC words
What did you learn about your learner that is important for designing lessons for them?
The student is very eager to learn to read by himself because he is read to in the home on a
regular basis.
What did you learn about yourself as a teacher? How much I enjoy teaching literacy, I have
really come to the conclusion that even if I have to sub or work as an EA I would like to
return to the Elementary grades. Being a Pre-K teacher is rewarding but I really miss
teaching more advanced concepts and of course having my students all day. I have 40
students total but each class is only 3 hours.
