Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 6

Letter f

Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford


Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "f" to young learners (age 3-4). Children visit a pretty pond where a friendly frog and a little fish are playing. They look at the big letter "f", say its sound /f/, name the words fish, frog, flowers, fox and fruits, trace the letter "f", and colour the flowers picture. All work is oral, playful and hands-on. Children are not expected to read or write words.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognise the letter "f" and say its sound /f/
  • Learn simple words that begin with the letter "f": fish, frog, flowers, fox, fruits
  • Trace the letter "f" with a finger and then with a pencil
  • Listen to and repeat the sentence "A friendly frog and a little fish are playing in the pond together."
  • Build fine motor skills through blowing, flag-making, finger printing and tracing

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 18
  • Picture cards: fish, frog, flowers, fox, fruits
  • A large letter "f" card

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sing a short alphabet song together, stopping at "f"
  • Hold up the big "f" card. Say: "This is f. f says /f/."
  • Show children how to make the sound: top teeth gently on the bottom lip, then blow softly
  • Children say /f/ like a gentle wind, then a bigger wind

Main Activity (20 minutes)

  • Open page 18. Ask: "What can you see?" Accept any answers
  • Point to the fish and say "fish". Children repeat
  • Point to the frog on the lily pad and say "frog". Children repeat
  • Read the speech bubble slowly: "A friendly frog and a little fish are playing in the pond together."
  • Say it again in short parts; children echo each part:
    • "A friendly frog"
    • "and a little fish"
    • "are playing in the pond together."
  • Point to the three picture cards one at a time:
    • flowers -- "Pink and smiling! flowers"
    • fox -- "Orange and fluffy! fox"
    • fruits -- "Yummy! fruits"
  • Stretch the first sound: "f-f-f-fish", "f-f-f-frog", "f-f-f-fox"
  • Show the big yellow "f" 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
  • Everyone hops like a frog and says /f/ on each hop

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy children point instead of saying the word
  • Extension: Ask confident children to name all five words on the page

Day 2: Sound and Play (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 18 (activity boxes)
  • A bowl of water and a paper fish
  • A tablet with a finger-tracing app
  • Paper and a stick for each child

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Hold up the "f" card. Children say "f says /f/"
  • Quick picture recall: fish, frog, flowers, fox, fruits

Main Activity -- Little Explorers (7 minutes)

  • Fill a bowl with water and float a paper fish on it
  • Let each child blow the fish across to the far side
  • Point out that blowing feels like the /f/ sound: "f-f-f-fish!"

Main Activity -- Little Innovators (6 minutes)

  • Open the finger-tracing app
  • Let every child draw "f" on the screen with one finger
  • Say the stroke with them: "Over, down, and across"

Main Activity -- Little Builders (7 minutes)

  • Give out paper and a stick to each child
  • Make a flag together by fixing the paper to the stick
  • Wave the flags together and say /f/

Wrap-Up -- Little Thinkers (5 minutes)

  • Hold up your left hand
  • Count the fingers together: one, two, three, four, five
  • Say "fingers -- f-f-fingers" and "five -- f-f-five"

Differentiation

  • Support: Hold the child's finger on the tablet and trace together
  • Extension: Ask children to count the fingers on the other hand too

Day 3: Trace and Write (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 19, pencils, poster paint, water, plates, wet wipes

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Children blow out a pretend candle with a long /f/
  • Draw a big "f" in the air together

Main Activity -- Finger Tracing (5 minutes)

  • Following the Teacher's Note, let children run a finger along the big pink "f"
  • Describe the stroke: "Start near the top. Curve over, then go straight down. Lift your finger and make a little line across."
  • Children colour in the big "f"

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 "f" at the red dot and follow the arrow
  • Remind children to add the little line across at the end
  • On the dot rows, the teacher guides a hand where needed

Main Activity -- Little Artists (7 minutes)

  • Mix poster paint with a little water on a plate
  • Children dip three fingers together and print them on page 19
  • Say "fingers, f-f-f" as they print
  • Children may then colour the flowers picture

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)

  • Each child holds up their page and says "f says /f/"
  • Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book

Differentiation

  • Support: Use a thick pencil or grip; trace hand over hand
  • Extension: Let children try an "f" on the dot rows on their own

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Let the learners run a finger along "f", 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 wet wipes ready for the paint activity
