Objective

By the end of this lesson, Weston will be able to recognize the letter K, understand its sound, and identify words that start with K. He will also engage in fun activities to reinforce his learning.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Crayons or colored pencils
• Space for movement activities
• Imagination and enthusiasm!

Before the lesson, make sure to have a comfortable space for Weston to sit and draw, as well as an area where he can move around for the activities.

Activities

• K is for Kangaroo:

  Start by introducing the letter K. Show Weston how to write it on paper. Then, have him draw a kangaroo and say the word "kangaroo" together. This will help him connect the letter K with a fun animal!

• K Sound Hunt:

  Go on a K sound hunt around the house or yard. Ask Weston to find objects that start with the letter K, such as keys, a kite, or a kitten. Each time he finds something, he can say the word and emphasize the K sound.

• Kicking Game:

  Get some soft balls or pillows and set up a kicking game. Each time Weston kicks a ball, he can shout out a word that starts with K. This will make learning active and fun!

• K Craft:

  Using paper and crayons, have Weston create a collage of things that start with K. He can draw or color items like a kite, king, or cookies. This will help him visualize the letter K in different words.
