Lesson Plan

Name of Material: Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom, Book and Chart

Materials:

Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom book
Language Chart
Letter Cards
Picture Cards

Aims: The child will learn to recognize his name in print, as well as the other children in the class.

Ages: This particular item is for preschool children. It could be adapted to different age levels by changing the content of the cards which are used on the board. For early preschoolers just letters could be used on the chart. For older preschoolers words could be used to introduce words such as long vowel silent e words.

Presentation: I have a story about some alphabet friends who meet at the top of a coconut tree. Let’s read the story and meet those alphabet friends. After reading the story show the children pictures of themselves with their names on the cards. Tell them that we have a fun poem that we can read together and put each of their names on the chart.
