Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 2

Letter b

Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford


Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "b". Learners look at a big picture of a boy eating a banana on a sofa, say the words boy and banana, and meet three more words that begin with "b": basket, bee and bus. On the second day they finger-trace and pencil-trace the letter "b" and colour the banana picture. All talk is oral and playful. Learners are not expected to read or write words.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Recognise the letter "b" and say its sound
  • Learn simple words that begin with the letter "b"
  • Trace the letter "b"

Key Vocabulary

  • boy
  • banana
  • basket
  • bee
  • bus

Speech-Bubble Sentence

  • "The boy is eating a banana."

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 6
  • A bubble wand and bubble liquid
  • Picture cards (or the book pictures) of boy, banana, basket, bee, bus
  • A tablet or screen with a short clip of things that begin with "b"
  • Learners' book bags

Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit the learners in a circle and sing a hello song together
  • Quickly revise "a": show the ant and apple and say /a/
  • Draw a big "b" in the air and ask learners to copy you
  • Say the sound /b/ with lips pressed together, then pop them open: /b/, /b/, /b/

Little Explorers (5 minutes)

  • Blow a stream of bubbles across the room
  • Let the learners chase and pop them
  • Learners say /b/ at every pop
  • Sit back down and say: "bubbles pop, /b/ /b/ /b/"

Look and Say (10 minutes)

  • Open page 6 and point to the big yellow "b"
  • Point to the boy and say "boy". Learners repeat
  • Point to the banana and say "banana". Learners repeat
  • Read the speech bubble aloud: "The boy is eating a banana." Learners echo it
  • Mime peeling and eating a banana while you all say it again
  • Point to each picture card and say the word; learners repeat twice:
    • basket
    • bee
    • bus
  • Play "Point to it": say a word, learners point to the right picture in their book
  • Add actions: buzz like a bee, turn a steering wheel for bus, hold a basket on your arm

Little Innovators (5 minutes)

  • Play a short clip of things that begin with "b"
  • The learners clap once each time a new one appears
  • Pause and name any that are on page 6 (boy, banana, basket, bee, bus)

Little Thinkers (4 minutes)

  • Tip out the book bags and count the books in each one
  • Count aloud together: one, two, three...
  • Say whose bag holds the most
  • Ask: "Book starts with which sound?" Learners say /b/

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Hold up the banana picture: "What does banana start with?" Learners say /b/
  • Pop one last bubble together: "/b/!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy learners point to pictures and do the actions instead of saying words
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to say the whole sentence on their own

Day 2: Trace and Write (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 6-7
  • Yellow playdough
  • Crayons (yellow, brown)
  • Pencils
  • A simple drawing of the boy holding empty strings (see Little Artists note)

Warm-Up (4 minutes)

  • Show page 6 again. Point and say: boy, banana, basket, bee, bus
  • Say the sentence together: "The boy is eating a banana."
  • Chant the sound: "b, b, boy; b, b, banana; b, b, bee"

Little Builders (5 minutes)

  • Give out yellow playdough
  • Let each learner roll a long snake
  • Then curve the snake into a banana
  • Ask: "What did you make?" Learners say "banana"

Finger Tracing and Colouring (5 minutes)

  • Open page 7 and point to the big pink "b" in the cloud
  • Show the stroke: start at the top, go straight down a tall line, go back up a little, then round to make a big tummy
  • Let the learners run a finger along "b", then colour it in
  • Do the Colour, Say, Trace icons together: colour it, say "b", trace it
  • Colour the banana yellow

Trace and Write (9 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils and check the pinch grip
  • Work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
  • Row 1: model the first "b", then follow the arrows: first the tall line down, then the round tummy
  • Row 2: trace the dotted letters, starting at the red dot at the top
  • Rows 3 and 4: learners try to make a "b" from each red dot, with your hand over their hand if needed
  • Praise every try: "What a tall b!"

Little Artists (6 minutes)

  • When the writing is done, start the Little Artists art activity
  • The book says the boy on the next page is holding empty strings. Page 7 shows a banana, so give learners a simple drawing of the boy holding empty strings
  • Learners draw a balloon on the end of each string and colour them
  • As they work, ask: "Who is this?" Learners say "boy"

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Draw "b" in the air one last time and say /b/
  • Remind parents to finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book

Differentiation

  • Support: Use a thick crayon for tracing; draw the tall line with the learner first, then the tummy
  • Extension: Let confident learners make a "b" out of playdough: a long snake and a small circle

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Let the learners run a finger along "b", then colour it in
  • Hand out pencils and work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
  • When the writing is done, start the Little Artists art activity
  • Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
