See it: Hook


In many classrooms teachers are using the letter cards to support phonics
lessons. However, not all teachers are using the letter cards to support
learning.

It is important for learners to connect the letter shape with the letter
sound. A visual letter card supports learners in making this connection.

See it: Frame


Give context: We are going to practice how to use the letter cards during
a phonics lesson.

Frame what to look for: As you watch the model of using the letter cards,
I want you to think about application in your classroom.

(10 min) Model the skill clearly
Hook
Frame “Today, we are going to learn new letters. Look here learners, this is the
Model small letter ‘s’ (show the letter card and repeat saying the letter name
several times)
Now let's say the letter name together (say the letter name together with
the learners)

Both the small letter ‘s’ and capital letter ‘S’ have the same sound.
They all produce the sound /s/ (show the letter card)

Letter name ‘s’ sounds /s/ (hold up the letter card and repeat this until
learners are able to associate the symbol and the sound)

Now we will learn how to write the letter ‘s’ which sounds/s/

Look here learners; (demonstrate how to write letter ‘s’ on the letter card
while mentioning the patterns that make the letter)
Practice writing the letter ‘s’ together with the learners in the air (make
sure you are facing the same direction as the learners)”

Do It: Directions and Rehearsal


Plan for Practice
Take 5 minutes, individually, to plan including the letter cards in a phonics
lesson plan using the following framing questions:

 How will you use the letter card?


 How will learners make the connection between the letter and the
letter sound?
 How will learners practice the letter sound?
Do it
(20 min) 7. Get into groups of 3
Plan and 8. One person will be the teacher the rest will be the learners
Rehearse 9. The teacher will present a letter sound using a letter card during a
phonics lesson.
10. All of the “learners” will follow the teachers directions.
11. After 4 minutes the “learners” will give feedback using this frame:
c. It was effective when….
d. Next time try….
12. The teacher will take 1 minute and redo the part that was hardest
based on the feedback.
Switch teachers and repeat the process until each person has a chance to
be the teacher.
Planning
CA&R Teachers will look at learner progress, plan activities, or create materials to
(20 min) be used for continuous assessment and remediation using the new or
Continuous refreshed professional skills.
