Lesson Warm-Up
Alphabet Activity
Objective: To review the alphabet, with each child naming one letter in alphabetical order
• Seat children in a circle where they can roll a ball to one another.
“Let’s say the alphabet as we roll this ball.”
“I’ll say ‘A’ and roll this ball to someone. That child will say ‘B’ and roll the ball back to me. I’ll say ‘C’ and roll the ball to someone else. We’ll say the whole alphabet.”
• Continue through the alphabet, making sure each child gets to roll the ball and recite a letter. If necessary, repeat the alphabet so all children may have a turn.
• Children should remain seated in this circle for the next activity.
Phonological/Phonemic Awareness
Objective: To identify the initial sound in words “I’ll say a word and roll this ball to someone.”
“After you catch the ball, tell me the beginning sound in the word.”
“Lid.”
• Roll the ball to a child, who should answer “/l/.”
“Now roll the ball back to me.”

a ball.
