This lesson is making a Zoo Diorama but also reinforcing the letter recognition & the sound of the "Z"
Purpose: To reinforce the Z sound
Theme: Letter of the week
Learning standard:
F.PK.2. With guidance and support, demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
F.PK.3. Demonstrate beginning understanding of phonics and word analysis skills.
Learning outcomes:
c. Identify the initial sound of a spoken word and, with guidance and support, generate several other words that have the same initial sound.
a. Link an initial sound to a picture of an object that begins with that sound and, with guidance and support, to the corresponding printed letter (e.g., link the initial sound /b/ to a picture of a ball and, with support, to a printed or written “B”).
I would like the children to be able to pronounce the letter Z and come up
With other words that begin with the Z sound
