Objectives
Identify, read and write the letter Pp, and recognize the sound in some words.
"P" Video
Have students interact with it.
Flashcards
Introduce one at a time with students just listening. Second time, have students repeat the words on the card. Third time, follow the sequence below.
- Hand out a set of flashcards to students in groups of 6 to play touch game.
- Have students try and repeat the words of the cards they have 'won'.
- Gather the materials back
"P is for Pink"
Tell students to look at the pictures. Ask them what they see. Get students to listen to the ‘story’ on this page. Ask a question about the “p” sound. Tell them that is the sound of the letter Pp. Get them to look at the letter Pp. Ask them, “What does the big P look like?” “What does the little p look like?”
Pp Collage page
Get them to trace with their finger.
Go back to "P is for Pink" page and have students trace the big and small “p” several times. Help them to hold their pencils correctly.
Go back to the Pp collage page and have students cut out small pieces of paper (confetti-size) which they will then glue into the letter shapes to make them special. Alternatively, you can have the students paint inside the lines, glue cotton wool in the lines, or use glitter glue. When it’s done, it can be used as a sensory tool which they can trace with their fingers to practice making the letter shapes.
"P is for"
This can be done for homework. Have students trace “papa” and “pizza” and then draw a picture of something that begins with Pp. Then have them trace and circle the P and p. Also, students can review the pages they did in class with their parents.
