Support As you read Cat Has a Cake , stop at each word that begins with the letter Cc . Have children say /k/ and the word that begins with Cc . Repeat with Dinosaurs Can and the letter Dd . Some children will benefit from tracing letters in trays of salt or sand. Support Have children talk about what they see in the picture. Invite them to say what each person is doing. Then, ask them if they think one person is letting the other person use or have something.
OR
Challenge For a challenge, after reading each story, ask children try to recall all the words that begin with the target sound and letter. Then invite children to name any other words they know that begin with that letter and sound. Challenge Encourage children to participate in peer-to-peer conversations about sharing, with each child taking two turns in the conversation. Remind children that while one person is talking, the other is listening.
Modifications Modifications
Multilingual Learners Some words have only one sound difference between them (for example, “dip” and “deep.”) Knowing beforehand that some minimal pairs may be difficult for a specific language group will guide you in giving more support to those children who need help. Attention Support Children who struggle to maintain attention may need reminders about the sound they are listening for. Before reading each page in the alphabet books, take a moment to remind children what sound they are listening for. Preschoolers need to learn how to sustain attention during classroom activities. You can encourage attention by repeating the questions for each card and asking children to repeat the question. Improving children’s receptive vocabulary (listening comprehension) will help Multilingual Learners Young children are, in many ways, better at learning a new language than adults. Parents, for example, may be afraid that they will say something in English incorrectly. Young children, on the other hand, are less inhibited and willing to take risks. Create a stress-free environment in which children enjoy trying out new words, one where their home language and English are both celebrated. Focus Attention them sustain attention. Try and increase children’s vocabulary each week, using new vocabulary every day and providing safe opportunities to use those words on their own.
