Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 3
Letter c
Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the letter "c". Learners look at a big picture of Ali waving from a purple car on a busy street, say the words cap and car, and meet three words that begin with "c": cap, cake and cow. On the second day they finger-trace and pencil-trace the letter "c" and decorate the cake picture. All talk is oral and playful. Learners are not expected to read or write words.
Learning Outcomes (from textbook)
- Recognise the letter "c" and say its sound
- Learn simple words that begin with the letter "c"
- Trace the letter "c"
Key Vocabulary
- cap
- car
- cake
- cow
Speech-Bubble Sentence
- "Ali is wearing a cap in the car."
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 8
- A real cap and a toy car
- Picture cards (or the book pictures) of cap, car, cake, cow
- A tablet with a drawing app
- Building blocks
Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Sit the learners in a circle and sing a hello song together
- Quickly revise "a" and "b": say /a/ for ant and /b/ for boy
- Draw a big "c" in the air and ask learners to copy you
- Say the sound /k/: a short click at the back of the throat, like a little cough: /k/, /k/, /k/
Little Explorers (5 minutes)
- Hold up a real cap and a toy car
- Name each one: "cap", "car"
- Pass them round for every learner to hold
- When a learner holds one, they say its name
Look and Say (10 minutes)
- Open page 8 and point to the big yellow "c"
- Point to Ali's cap and say "cap". Learners repeat
- Point to the purple car and say "car". Learners repeat
- Read the speech bubble aloud: "Ali is wearing a cap in the car." Learners echo it
- Ask a learner to put on the real cap while everyone says the sentence
- Point to each picture card and say the word; learners repeat twice:
- cap
- cake
- cow
- Play "Point to it": say a word, learners point to the right picture in their book
- Add actions: blow out candles for cake, moo for cow, tip a cap for cap
Little Innovators (5 minutes)
- Open a drawing app on the tablet
- Each learner clicks (taps) once and says /k/ for the sound it makes
- Let learners hear that the click and the /k/ sound are alike
Little Thinkers (4 minutes)
- Line three caps up on the table
- Count them together: one cap, two caps, three caps
- Take one away and count again
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Hold up the toy car: "What does car start with?" Learners say /k/
- Wave goodbye like Ali waving from the car
Differentiation
- Support: Let shy learners hold the cap or car and point instead of speaking
- Extension: Ask confident learners to say the whole sentence while wearing the cap
Day 2: Trace and Write (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 8-9
- Building blocks
- Crayons in bright colours, glitter, markers
- Pencils
Warm-Up (4 minutes)
- Show page 8 again. Point and say: cap, car, cake, cow
- Say the sentence together: "Ali is wearing a cap in the car."
- Chant the sound: "c, c, cap; c, c, car; c, c, cow"
Little Builders (5 minutes)
- Give out building blocks
- Let the learners build a car with four round wheels that turn
- Count the wheels together: one, two, three, four
- Ask: "What did you build?" Learners say "car"
Finger Tracing and Colouring (5 minutes)
- Open page 9 and point to the big pink "c" in the cloud
- Show the stroke: start at the top, curve round to the left like a big open mouth, and stop at the bottom
- Let the learners run a finger along "c", then colour it in
- Do the Colour, Say, Trace icons together: colour it, say "c", trace it
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 "c", then follow the arrow on each dotted letter
- Row 2: trace the dotted letters, starting at the red dot
- Rows 3 and 4: learners try to make a "c" from each red dot, with your hand over their hand if needed
- Remind learners that "c" stays open; it does not close into a circle
- Praise every try: "What a lovely curve!"
Little Artists (6 minutes)
- When the writing is done, start the Little Artists art activity
- Decorate the cake on page 9 together
- Use bright colours on every layer
- Add glitter and marker dots on top
- As they work, ask: "What is this?" Learners say "cake"
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Draw "c" in the air one last time and say /k/
- Remind parents to finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
Differentiation
- Support: Use a thick crayon; guide the learner's hand round the curve
- Extension: Let confident learners find a "c" shape in the room, such as the curve of a cup handle or a half-circle block
