Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 5
Letter e
Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the letter "e" to young learners (age 3-4). Children meet a friendly eagle sitting on an elephant's head in a sunny grassland. They look at the big letter "e", say its sound /e/, name the pictures (eggplant, elephant, eagle), trace the letter "e", and colour the eagle picture. All work is oral, playful and hands-on. Children are not expected to read or write words.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise the letter "e" and say its sound /e/
- Learn simple words that begin with the letter "e": eagle, elephant, eggplant
- Trace the letter "e" with a finger and then with a pencil
- Listen to and repeat the sentence "Eagle and elephant are good friends"
- Build fine motor skills through folding, colouring and tracing
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 16
- Picture cards or real items: an eggplant, a toy elephant, a picture of an eagle
- A large letter "e" card
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Sing a short alphabet song together, stopping at "e"
- Hold up the big "e" card. Say: "This is e. e says /e/."
- Children repeat the sound three times: loud voice, whisper voice, happy voice
Main Activity (20 minutes)
- Open page 16. Ask: "What can you see?" Accept any answers
- Point to the elephant and say "elephant". Children repeat
- Point to the eagle on the elephant's head and say "eagle". Children repeat
- Read the speech bubble slowly: "Eagle and elephant are good friends"
- Children say the sentence with you, clapping on "eagle" and "elephant"
- Point to the three picture cards one at a time:
- eggplant -- "Is it purple? Yes! eggplant"
- elephant -- "Big ears! elephant"
- eagle -- "It can fly! eagle"
- Stretch the first sound: "e-e-e-elephant", "e-e-e-eggplant"
- Show the big yellow "e" on the page. Children trace it in the air with one finger
Wrap-Up (5 minutes)
- Play "Show me": say a word, children point to the matching picture card
- Everyone makes an elephant trunk with their arm and says /e/ /e/ elephant
Differentiation
- Support: Let shy children point instead of saying the word
- Extension: Ask confident children to name all three picture cards on their own
Day 2: Sound and Play (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 16 (activity boxes)
- A boiled egg, a sheet of paper for each child, a short elephant video clip
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Hold up the "e" card. Children say "e says /e/"
- Quick picture recall: eggplant, elephant, eagle
Main Activity -- Little Explorers (7 minutes)
- Bring a boiled egg to the table. Peel it while the children watch
- Say: "egg -- e-e-egg". Let each child hold a piece
Main Activity -- Little Innovators (5 minutes)
- Play a short clip of an elephant
- Pause it and count together: the elephant's two eyes and two big ears
Main Activity -- Little Builders (8 minutes)
- Give each child a sheet of paper
- Fold it into an envelope together, corner to corner, pressing each crease flat
- Say "envelope -- e-e-envelope" as you fold
Wrap-Up -- Little Thinkers (5 minutes)
- Hunt across page 16 together and count everything that begins with /e/
- Say the number out loud as a class
Differentiation
- Support: Fold the envelope hand over hand with the child
- Extension: Let children lead the counting on the page
Day 3: Trace and Write (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 17, pencils, crayons (grey, pink and other colours)
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Children say the sound /e/ and flap their arms like an eagle
- Draw a big "e" in the air together
Main Activity -- Finger Tracing (5 minutes)
- Following the Teacher's Note, let children run a finger along the big pink "e"
- Describe the stroke: "Start in the middle. Go straight across. Curve up and over, round and down, and stop."
- Children colour in the big "e"
Main Activity -- Pencil Tracing (10 minutes)
- Hand out pencils. Check a gentle, correct pencil grip
- Work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
- Start each "e" at the red dot and follow the arrow
- On the dot rows, the teacher guides a hand where needed
Main Activity -- Little Artists (7 minutes)
- Children colour the eagle picture on page 17 with their crayons
- Say "eagle" each time a child picks a new crayon
- Note: the Little Artists box on page 16 says "colour the elephant" (grey body, pink ears), but the picture on page 17 is an eagle -- let children colour the eagle
- Praise every effort; neatness is not the goal at this age
Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Each child holds up their page and says "e says /e/"
- Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
Differentiation
- Support: Use a thick crayon or pencil grip; trace hand over hand
- Extension: Let children try an "e" on the dot rows on their own
Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Let the learners run a finger along "e", 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
- Keep every activity short, cheerful and active for young learners
- Note: "eagle" starts with the letter e but says its name ("ee"); "elephant" and "eggplant" show the short /e/ sound best
