Lesson Plan: Alphabets for Nursery Children

Introduction: - Greet the children and introduce the topic of alphabets. - Show them a large alphabet chart or poster and ask if they know what it is. - Explain that alphabets are the building blocks of words and reading. - Tell them that today, they will learn about some alphabets and their sounds.

Lesson Outline: 1. Warm-up Activity: - Sing the alphabet song together or play a video of the song (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36IBDpTRVNE). - Encourage the children to sing along and point to the letters as they are sung.

  1. Introducing Alphabets:
    • Show flashcards or pictures of different alphabets (e.g., A, B, C).
    • Ask the children if they recognize any of the letters and what sounds they make.
    • Repeat the sounds together and practice saying the names of the letters.
  2. Letter Recognition Activity:
    • Provide each child with a worksheet or coloring page with a few letters on it.
    • Ask them to identify and color the specific letters you mention.
    • Walk around the room to provide assistance and praise their efforts.
  3. Alphabet Sounds Activity:
    • Use flashcards or pictures of objects that start with different letters (e.g., apple, ball, cat).
    • Show each picture and ask the children to identify the starting sound.
    • Encourage them to make the sound and repeat it together.

Questioning: - During the activities, ask questions to engage the children and assess their understanding. - Examples: “What letter is this?” “What sound does this letter make?” “Can you think of another word that starts with this letter?”

Assessment: - Observe the children’s participation and engagement during the activities. - Check their worksheets or coloring pages to see if they correctly identified and colored the letters. - Use informal questioning to assess their understanding of letter names and sounds.

Differentiation: - Provide additional support to children who may be struggling by giving them extra guidance and practice. - For children who are more advanced, challenge them by asking them to think of words that start with each letter or write the letters themselves.

Plenary: - Recap the lesson by reviewing the letters and their sounds. - Play a fun alphabet video or game as a reward for their participation (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmB3SIjNdQ). - Ask the children to share one thing they learned about alphabets today.
