Primary Focus of Lesson Foundational Skills • Students will orally segment words with two or three phonemes. • Students will provide the corresponding sound when presented with the following lowercase letters: ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘c’, ‘g’, ‘f’, ‘v’, ‘s’, ‘h’, ‘i’, ‘a’, ‘o’. • Students will listen to spoken words with the /z/ sound and identify whether the sound is heard in the initial or final position. • Students will write the spelling ‘z’ to represent /z/. • Students will distinguish between spoken minimal pair words with /z/ and /s/ in either the initial or final position by indicating which spelling, ‘z’ or ‘s’, is heard in each word. • Students will substitute individual sound/spellings in simple CVC words to make and read new words; focus on /z/ > ‘z’ and /s/ > ‘s’. • Students will accurately write the following lowercase letters: ‘a’, ‘o’, ‘m’, ‘t’, ‘s’, ‘c’.
