Letters: Cc, plus review of Aa and Bb

Vocabulary: cat, cup, car, computer

Sight words: an, it, is

New in this lesson: First sight words, first full sentences, and tracing practice

Letter C follows the same routine as Lesson 1, then the lesson does something new. Students move from single words to phrases like an ant and a cat, then to complete sentences: It is a car. It is an apple. This is where students stop identifying letters and start reading. The last free lesson in the level.

Learning objectives

By the end of this lesson, students can:

  • Recognize C and say its sound
  • Read the sight words an, it and is
  • Read a full sentence such as It is a car

Activities in this lesson:

  • Warm up: Hello, Hi, How are you, I’m good, I’m great
  • Sort uppercase from lowercase for C
  • Say the sound, then a song built around that sound
  • Let’s Learn and Match: connect each word to its picture
  • Find the words: spot the target words among others
  • Chant the words together
