Name: The farm in spring

Date: October 29, 2010

Grade Level/Subject: 1st/Reading

Prerequisite Knowledge: How to spell high-frequency words by “stretching them out”

Approximate Time: 20 minutes

Student Objectives/Student Outcomes: Students will be able to transfer vocabulary from the story to
writing by memory.

Illinois State Standards:

1. Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or
lesson.
2. Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
3. Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.

Materials/Resources/Technology:
 The farm in spring by Jenny Giles
 White board
 Magnetic letters
 Worksheet

Implementation:

Time
5 minutes Opening of lesson:
Read aloud the title and the author’s name. Invite the child to look at the
illustration on the cover and describe what they see. Ask: What do you think is
going to happen in the story?

Tell the child a list of high-frequency words, such as can, see, with and little,
from the book. For each word, have the child use magnetic letters to spell it.
This not only previews the story’s vocabulary for the child, but it also allows
him to practice connecting letters with their corresponding sounds.

10 minutes Procedures:
Begin to walk through the book visually simply describing the illustrations on
each page. Make sure to use words that are present in the text when walking
through the book. This previews the vocabulary for the child.

Have the student read the book aloud. Remind them: If you are not sure of a
word as you’re reading, stretch it out or try to use the words around it to help
you figure out what it is.
Prompt for overall understanding. Possible prompts include the following:
 What type of animals did we count on the farm?
 How many animals in total did we count?

Pass out the worksheet. This worksheet will simply have approximately ten
blanks where the student can record the vocabulary words they remember
from the story. Make sure to not provide additional guidance. This is an
assessment tool to see if using the magnetic letters beforehand helped the
student remember any of the high-frequency words and how to spell them.

5 minutes Summary/Closing:
If time permits, have the student retell the story in their own words. Tell the
student: Great job today! I liked how you …

Student Assessment:
The primary form of assessment for this lesson is the worksheet. Another
alternative form of assessment is teacher observation during the
implementation of the lesson.
