This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for Kindergarten ELA in Reading Foundational Skills.

 Students will play an L blend matching activity with Nearpod during stations as a review for Reading Horizons L blends lesson as a Transfer activity for Core 4. 

In this lesson, students engage in independent literacy centers to become proficient in completing activities about the stories they read. Although this lesson uses Seven Blind Mice as an example, the framework is adaptable to almost any text.

In this lesson, students will use a popular children's song that contains several high-frequency vocabulary words to assist in recognizing, reading, writing, and using the words in several contexts. Students sing the song repeatedly, while following along with a picture book that contains the lyrics and illustrations. They are then encouraged to participate in several hands-on activities to reinforce learning of the vocabulary words.

1.Click on the activity below.2.Say the name of each picture.3.Listen to the beginning sound.4.Write the letter that the picture starts with on the line. You may also use the text box to type the letter.5.Record yourself saying the name of each picture and what sound and letter it starts with.

In this interactive, students will make a word ending in -at that matches the picture by replacing the first consonant of the word.

In this interactive, students will make a word ending in -en that matches the picture by replacing the first consonant of the word.

In this interactive activity, students will practice phonemic awareness, learn letter names, and practice letter sounds. They will choose the appropriate letter to create a CVC word.

This document provides a description of what each standard means a student will know, understand and be able to do. The "unpacking" of the standards done in this document is an effort to answer a simple question, "What does this standard mean that a student must know and be able to do?" and to ensure the description is helpful, specific and comprehensive for educators.

In this lesson, students become familiar with the short /u/ sound as they listen to Taro Yashima’s Caldecott Honor-winning book, Umbrella. Prereading activities build vocabulary and comprehension skills, a read-aloud introduces students to the sounds of the story, and concluding exercises allow students to apply their understanding of phonic elements in other contexts.

In this lesson, a combination of children's literature, learning centers, and activities focus on learning about the letter m. Students will learn about phonics by participating in an integrated array of activities, including reading, writing, mathematics, music, art, and technology.

In this lesson, students will use a weekly poem to explore meaning, sentence structure, rhyming words, sight words, vocabulary, and print concepts. After studying the poem, students are given a copy of the poem to illustrate and share their understanding. All of the poems explored are then compiled into a poetry portfolio for students to take home and share with their families. To further connect home to school, a family poetry project is suggested.

In this activity, students will use the recording tool to record themselves reading a word and counting how many syllables it has. Then, students will use the text tool to type how many syllables the given word has. 

In this lesson, students identify rhyming words in a story. Then, they will create cards to be used in a simple game where students are challenged to think of as many rhyming words to an original word as they can.

This resource is a lesson plan on rhymes which includes rhyming cards and a match-up puzzle.

 Students will participate in small groups to program their BeeBot to find 2 letter S blends, 3 letter S blends, S blend slides, S blend words, reading them and/or marking them to reinforce Reading Horizons foundational skills found within Chapter 2 for Kindergarten. Teacher will place BeeBot cards under the mat (can differentiate # of cards depending on level)Students draw a card to determine the number of (letters, slides, words) they’ll program.Students who are not programming can read the letters, slides, words.Students who are not programming can also sort the cards that are placed under the mat and add to the recording sheet.  After sorting, students can also mark the words. 

Students will Scratch off the Yellow to find Rhyming words. When they find a match they will drag the word to the matching rhyming word. Once you have completed that you will record yourself reading the pair words.

This lesson is for grades PreK-K on literacy. At Home Learning Lessons are a partnership between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, PBS North Carolina, and the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Each lesson contains a video instructional lesson, a PDF lesson plan with a transcript, and a PDF file of extension activities.

In this lesson, students read words found on everyday objects and use them to identify individual letters. They then create captions for an electronic book with preselected logos and illustrations. Finally, they create an original little book choosing their own logos, captions, and images.

In this lesson, students listen as the book Madeline is read aloud. Students use the text and illustrations to understand the story. They will also identify the rhyming words used in the book. After reading the book, students will make their own rhyming book and illustrate it.
