Background Information:
The students have already learned the letter K. This lesson is a review.
They know how to write it, what sound it makes and can identify words that start with K
Materials:
Paper, paintbrushes, Kool-Aid
Equipment:
Smart Board
Classroom Management/Environment:
Students will be seated in a semi-circle around the Smart Board
For the activity they will be seated around a small group table
Engagement/Focus:
Use the Boogie Woogie ABCs song and Letter K chant on the Smart Board to engage students.

Student Objective (Today you will be able to___.):

For the past two weeks you have been learning about the letter K. Today we are going to go over what we have
learned. By the end of the review you will be able to correctly write the letter K, recognize its name, the sound
that it makes and the difference between capital and lowercase K. Please stay in your seat unless I call on you to
come up to the Smart Board.

This provides vocal input

for non-verbal students
(Student 2, Student 5,
Student 4 (chooses not to
talk, knows some words),
Student 6, Student 7)

Purpose of the Lesson (This information is important because___.):

It's important to learn all of our letters because we use them to write. If we know how to write we can
communicate with others. There are words all around us too! Just look at the walls around the room! We need to
know what the letters are so we can read what the words around us say.
Explanation/Procedures (Relate to prior knowledge; describe what you will teach & model, what the students are to do with you,
and what they are to do independently (I do, We do, You do); must include higher level questions you will answer) :

State objective, purpose and behavioral expectations

Start Smart Board presentation with song and chant (Slide 1 and 2)

Slide 3 - Capital K vs. Lowercase k

We have learned the difference between a capital K and a lowercase k. Remember that the capital letter K is the
one that is bigger. Student 4, please come up and show me the capital K! Great job! Student 5, please come up to
the Smart Board and show me the lowercase k. Excellent!
Slide 4 - Quick letter K
Last week we learned that the letter K makes the sound /k/.
Let's do our Quick Letter K rhyme and listen for the /k/ sound that the letter makes!
Capital letter K
small letter k
K says k
4 kids in kayaks
k, k, k
I hear the /k/ sound in the words kid and kayak! That's because the first letter of each word is K!
Student 3 can you say the rhyme with me? (student 3 repeats each line)
Very good!
Slide 5 - Words that start with K

Student 5 will require hand

over hand assistance.

There are many words that start with the letter K just like in the words kid and kayak that we heard in our rhyme.
Here are a bunch of words on the board that start with the letter K. I'm going to call on a few of you to come up to
the board and help me find different words. You can use the pictures to help you.
Student 5 come find the word king!

Hand over hand assistance

for Student 5, Student 2

Student 2 come find the word kitten!

Student 4 come find the word kick!
Student 6 come find the word key!
Excellent job!
Move students to table:
Now we are going to move to the table and I will review with you how to write the letter K and how to do our
activity! So everybody stand up and let's find a seat at the table.

Provide assistance to
students that need help
getting to the table.

Extension (what will you do to go deeper into this topic):

Have students come up with their own word that starts with K. Have students write an uppercase and lowercase K.
Elaboration (what else might you need to do/say to teach this skill/concept):
Provide videos for students to watch (Sesame Street Letter K video) if students need further instruction

For students who are

nonverbal go back to the
Smart Board slide that
shows the uppercase and
lowercase K. Ask the
student to choose the
lowercase K. Show the
word slide. Have students
identify the word you say.
Students who need more
help practicing writing the
letter can use the
interactive Smart Board
slide as well to trace the
letter.

Closure (objective & purpose are restated; address how are you going to include the students in this) :
Today we reviewed the letter K and saw the difference between the capital and lowercase K, we talked about the
sound it makes and practiced writing it. Student 3 can you tell me what sound the letter K makes?
You all did such a great job of paying attention and I really liked how well you participated during the time at the
Smart Board. Thank you for listening so well! Tomorrow you will be reviewing the letter K again and will have
another chance to practice writing it.
Assessment (how will you know when the student knows the information or can do the skill youve taught) :
Students will be given paper, a paintbrush and Kool-Aid. They will paint the letter K on the paper and be able to tell Students who have oral
me/recognize the letter sound and name with 100% accuracy. This will be the third or fourth time the students have tendencies or frequently
practiced writing the letter K and will have more opportunities to practice this skill.

I will call on students to say the letter sound and name as they are forming the K.
something that would not
be harmful if ingested
(Student 2, Student 4,
Student 5 and Student 6)
That's why Kool-Aid was
chosen for this activity.
This activity provides an
easier opportunity for
students with poor fine
motor skills to practice
forming the letter K.
Student 5, Student 2,
Student 6 and Student 7
will require hand over hand
assistance to complete this
activity.
