Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to recognize and identify phonetic sounds associated with words related to dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks.

Materials and Prep

• Flashcards or pictures of dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks characters
• A whiteboard or a large sheet of paper
• Colored markers or crayons

Activities

• Create a Phonics Wall: Write down the letters of the alphabet on the whiteboard or large sheet of paper. Have the student place flashcards or pictures of dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks characters under the corresponding letter that the word starts with. For example, the dinosaur picture goes under the letter "D".
• Phonics Hunt: Hide flashcards or pictures of dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks characters around the house. Encourage the student to find them and say the name of each object out loud, emphasizing the beginning sound.
• Phonics Sorting Game: Prepare two baskets or containers labeled "D" and "T". Show the student flashcards or pictures of dinosaurs and trains one at a time. Ask the student to identify the beginning sound of each word and place the card in the corresponding basket.
• Phonics Story Time: Read a phonics-based book that incorporates words related to dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, or PJ Masks. Pause at certain words and ask the student to identify the beginning sound of each word.

Talking Points

• "Today, we are going to have fun learning about phonics with dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks!"
• "Phonics is all about the sounds that letters make. We are going to practice identifying the sounds that different words start with."
• "Let's create a Phonics Wall. We will put pictures of dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks characters under the letters that they start with."
• "Now, let's go on a Phonics Hunt! We will search for hidden pictures and say the name of each object, paying attention to the sound it starts with."
• "In this Phonics Sorting Game, we will sort flashcards of dinosaurs and trains based on their beginning sounds. We will put the cards in baskets labeled 'D' and 'T'."
• "During our Phonics Story Time, I will read a book that has words about dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, or PJ Masks. I will pause at some words and ask you to tell me the sound they start with."
• "Great job today! You did an amazing job learning about phonics with dinosaurs, trains, books, trucks, and PJ Masks. Keep practicing and listening for the beginning sounds of words!"
