Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 17

Letter q

Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford

Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "q" and its sound /kw/. Learners look at a big picture of a queen sitting with a quail in a palace garden, say simple "q" words aloud, and trace the letter "q". 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 "q" and say its sound
  • Learn simple words that begin with the letter "q"
  • Trace the letter "q"

Key Vocabulary (from the textbook)

  • queen
  • quail
  • quiver
  • question

Speech Bubble Sentence

  • "The pretty queen has a quail in the garden."

Teacher tip on sounds: In English words, "q" almost always comes with "u" and together they say /kw/. Teach the sound as a quick "kw", like a duck's quack.

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 48
  • Picture cards or flashcards: queen, quail, quiver, question
  • A paper crown for role play

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sing a short alphabet song together
  • Hold up a large letter "q" card and say: "This is q. q says /kw/."
  • Children say "/kw/, /kw/, /kw/" quickly
  • Walk like a little quail, taking tiny quick steps, saying "/kw/, /kw/"

Main Activity -- Picture Talk (15 minutes)

  • Open page 48. Let the children look at the picture quietly for a moment
  • Ask simple questions and accept one-word or pointing answers:
    • "Who is wearing a crown?" (queen)
    • "Which bird is sitting next to her?" (quail)
    • "Where are they?" (garden)
  • Point to each cloud word and say it slowly: "kw-queen", "kw-quail"
  • Children repeat each word twice
  • Read the speech bubble aloud: "The pretty queen has a quail in the garden."
  • Children echo the sentence after you in two short parts:
    • "The pretty queen has a quail"
    • "in the garden"
  • Act it out: one child wears the paper crown as the queen; another child is the quail and hops beside her

Main Activity -- Picture Cards (5 minutes)

  • Point to the three picture cards at the bottom of the page: queen, quiver, question
  • Say each word; children repeat it
  • Explain simply: "A quiver is a bag that holds arrows." "A question is when we ask something." Children put a finger on their chin and look puzzled, like the boy in the picture
  • Play "Point to it": say a word and children point to the correct picture on the page

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Hold up the "q" card. Children say the letter name and the sound
  • Quick round: "Tell me one q 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 49
  • Crayons (brown for the quail), pencils

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show the picture cards from Day 1 and let children say the words: queen, quail, quiver, question
  • Say the sound together: "/kw/, /kw/, /kw/"

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

  • Open page 49. Point to the big pink "q" in the cloud
  • Demonstrate the stroke in the air with a big arm: "Start at the top. Curve round to the left like a ball, and back up to the top. Now go straight down, past the line, and flick the tail."
  • Children draw the "q" in the air, then on the table, then on a friend's back
  • Following the Teacher's Note, let the learners run a finger along the big "q", then colour it in
  • Point to the Colour, Say and Trace icons and explain them with actions
  • Hold up "p" and "q" cards together: "p has its round tummy on the right. q has its round ball on the left."

Main Activity -- Trace and Write (12 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils. Check each child's grip
  • Point to the first black "q" on the top row. Say: "Look at this q. It has a ball and a tail with a flick."
  • Show the small red dot on the next "q": "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 the ball, up, down, flick"
  • For the two rows with only red dots, let children try their own "q" starting at each dot. Accept any attempt
  • Praise effort, not neatness

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Colour the quail picture at the top of the page. Ask: "What is this?" (quail) "What sound does quail start with?" (/kw/)
  • Children say "q says /kw/, quail!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Hold the child's hand gently over the pencil for the first few letters; use thick crayons if needed
  • Extension: Children make a "q" with a playdough ball and snake, then trace along it with a finger

Day 3: Little Activities (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 48 (activity boxes)
  • A few quills (large feathers)
  • A short video clip of a quail calling
  • Playdough in different colours
  • Paper, crayons

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sing: "q, q, q, what do you see? A queen, a quail, and a quiver for me!"
  • Children take tiny quail steps and say "/kw/"

Activity Rotation (20 minutes)

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

  • Little Explorers: Lay a few quills on the table and fan them. The learners watch how far each one travels
  • Little Innovators: Play a short clip of a quail calling. The learners listen twice, then copy the sound it makes
  • Little Builders: Roll flat playdough squares in different colours and press them edge to edge into one patchwork quilt. Say "quilt" together
  • Little Artists: Colour the quail on the next page -- brown body, speckled breast, and one bold plume on its head
  • Little Thinkers: Write the numbers one to five on paper and lay that many quills beside each one. (The teacher writes the numbers; the children count and place the quills)

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit in a circle. Pass the paper crown around. Each child wears it, says "I am the queen!" and then says "q, /kw/"
  • Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book

Differentiation

  • Support: Count the quills by touching each one with the child
  • Extension: Ask children to copy the quail call and then say "quail" clearly

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

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

  • Use clean, blunt-ended feathers for the quills; check that no child is allergic to feathers
  • Keep feathers and playdough away from mouths
  • Remind children that real arrows (in a quiver) are not toys
