Spelling Lesson Plan for Kindergarten Students

Topic: Spelling: Final Consonants

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to identify and correctly write the final consonants of one- and two-syllable words.

Materials

• Pencils
• Paper
• List of one- and two-syllable words with final consonants (e.g., cat, dog, hat, rat, etc.)

Warm-up

• Have students close their eyes and listen as you read a list of words with final consonants aloud.
• After you have read the list, have students open their eyes and try to recall as many words as they can.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of spelling to the students. Explain that words are made up of letters, and that we use these letters to write down what we want to say.
• Show the students the list of words with final consonants that they recalled during the warm-up activity. Have them say the words out loud as a class, while pointing to the letters that make up each word.
• Encourage the students to pay attention to the letters that make up each word, and to try to remember the order in which they appear.

Guided Practice

• Give each student a piece of paper and a pencil.
• Have the students scan the list of words with final consonants, and circle any words that they are able to identify.
• Have the students write down the words they circled, along with the letters that make up each word.

Independent Practice

• Have the students take turns coming to the front of the class and reading one of the words they circled.
• Have the students who are sitting in the front row try to guess the word being read.

Closure

• Review the words that the students learned today and have them point to the words on the chart as they are named.
• Ask the students to tell you one thing they learned about spelling today.

Assessment

• Observe the students during independent practice to see if they are able to spell the words correctly.
• Collect the students' written work and assess their ability to spell the words correctly.
