Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 15

Letter o

Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford

Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "o" and its short sound /o/ as in "octopus". Learners look at a big picture of a happy octopus playing with oranges in the water under an orange tree, say simple "o" words aloud, and trace the letter "o". Everything is oral and playful. Children listen, point, say, move, colour and trace. They are not asked to read or write words or sentences.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the letter "o" and say its sound
  • Learn simple words that begin with the letter "o"
  • Trace the letter "o"

Key Vocabulary (from the textbook)

  • oranges
  • octopus
  • owl
  • onion
  • ostrich

Speech Bubble Sentence

  • "the happy octopus playing with all the yummy oranges in the water!"

Teacher tip on sounds: octopus, onion, ostrich and oranges begin with the short /o/ sound. "Owl" begins with the letter o but makes a different sound (ow). Say it as "owl starts with the letter o" rather than stretching an /o/ sound.

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 42
  • Picture cards or flashcards: oranges, octopus, owl, onion, ostrich
  • A real orange and a real onion

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sing a short alphabet song together
  • Hold up a large letter "o" card and say: "This is o. o says /o/."
  • Make a big round mouth together, like a surprised face: "/o/, /o/, /o/!"
  • Make an "o" shape with both arms over the head

Main Activity -- Picture Talk (15 minutes)

  • Open page 42. Let the children look at the picture quietly for a moment
  • Ask simple questions and accept one-word or pointing answers:
    • "Who is in the water?" (octopus)
    • "What is on the tree?" (oranges)
    • "Is the octopus happy?" (yes)
  • Point to each cloud word and say it slowly, stretching the first sound: "o-o-octopus", "o-o-oranges"
  • Children repeat each word twice
  • Read the speech bubble aloud: "The happy octopus playing with all the yummy oranges in the water!"
  • Children echo it after you in short parts:
    • "The happy octopus"
    • "playing with all the yummy oranges"
    • "in the water!"
  • Act it out: children wiggle their arms like octopus legs and pretend to catch oranges

Main Activity -- Picture Cards (5 minutes)

  • Point to the three picture cards at the bottom of the page: owl, onion, ostrich
  • Say each word; children repeat it
  • Play "Point to it": say a word and children point to the correct picture on the page
  • Show the real orange and onion. Children say "orange" and "onion" as they touch them

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Hold up the "o" card. Children say the letter name and the sound
  • Quick round: "Tell me one o word." Help with the picture if needed
  • Clap and cheer for every answer

Differentiation

  • Support: Let quieter children point to the picture instead of saying the word, then say it together with them
  • Extension: Ask confident children to say the speech-bubble sentence on their own

Day 2: Trace and Write (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 43
  • Crayons, pencils
  • A hoop or a chalk circle on the floor (optional)

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show the picture cards from Day 1 and let children say the words: oranges, octopus, owl, onion, ostrich
  • Say the sound together with round mouths: "/o/, /o/, /o/"

Main Activity -- Finger Tracing and Colouring (8 minutes)

  • Open page 43. Point to the big pink "o" in the cloud
  • Demonstrate the stroke in the air with a big arm: "Start at the top. Curve round to the left, all the way down, round the bottom, and back up to where you started."
  • Children draw the "o" in the air, then walk around a hoop or chalk circle on the floor
  • Following the Teacher's Note, let the learners run a finger along the big "o", then colour it in
  • Point to the Colour, Say and Trace icons and explain them with actions

Main Activity -- Trace and Write (12 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils. Check each child's grip
  • Point to the first black "o" on the top row. Say: "Look at this o. It is round like an orange."
  • Show the small red dot at the top of the next "o": "We start at the red dot."
  • Work through the traced rows together, one line at a time, as the Teacher's Note says
  • Say the stroke aloud each time: "round, round, round, and close"
  • For the two rows with only red dots, let children try their own "o" starting at each dot. Accept any attempt
  • Praise effort, not neatness

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Colour the owl picture at the top of the page. Ask: "What is this?" (owl) "Which letter does owl start with?" (o)
  • Children hoot like an owl and say "owl, o!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let children trace round a bottle cap first to feel the round shape
  • Extension: Children make an "o" with playdough and trace round it with a finger

Day 3: Little Activities (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 42 (activity boxes)
  • Oranges and a knife (adult use only), plates
  • A short video clip of an ostrich running
  • Orange and green playdough
  • Crayons

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sing: "o, o, o, what do you see? An octopus, an owl, and oranges for me!"
  • Children make round "o" mouths and say "/o/"

Activity Rotation (20 minutes)

Choose the activities that suit your class and time. Follow the textbook boxes:

  • Little Explorers: Cut an orange into slices and give one to every learner. Let them smell it before they taste it. Say "orange" together
  • Little Innovators: Play a short clip of an ostrich running. The learners run on the spot at the same speed. Say "ostrich" when the clip stops
  • Little Builders: Roll orange playdough into a smooth ball, then press one small green leaf onto the top
  • Little Artists: Colour the orange on the next page, then copy the little comma marks all over its skin. (Use the owl on page 43 or draw an orange for the children if the page does not have one)
  • Little Thinkers: Count the octopus's legs together. Say how many more legs it has than you do

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit in a circle. Pass the orange playdough ball around. Each child says "o" and the sound /o/
  • Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book

Differentiation

  • Support: Count the octopus legs by touching each one with the child
  • Extension: Ask children to find something round like an "o" in the classroom

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Let the learners run a finger along "o", 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

Safety Notes

  • Only adults use the knife when cutting oranges
  • Check for fruit allergies before tasting
  • Keep playdough away from mouths
