Candidate’s Name: Gitel Itzkowitz
Grade Level: K-1
Title of the lesson: Sight words
Length of the lesson: 1-2 class periods
Central focus of the lesson
This phonics lesson focuses on
the continuation of learning sight words, which are really important if we
want our students to understand what they’re reading properly. Sight words
help with the flow of a sentence and have to be taught very early on in a
student’s literacy education for them to make any sense of what they’re
reading.
Key questions:
●
Students should be able to recognize, spell, write an
additional 8 sight words being taught
●
Do students understand the role sight words play in a
sentence and passage and how they help with the passage flow
|
Knowledge of students to inform teaching:
●
Students should already have basic phonemic
awareness, letters and alphabets and letter-sound correspondence to help with
sounding out some words.
●
Students have already been introduced to concept of
sight words, words we can’t actually picture and are incorporated into all of
our readings.

Will review previously learned sight words on Word
Wall and use in correct context
2.
Will read, write and recognize 8 new sight words and
use in correct context
3.
Will complete 2 technology-based activities
successfully to review sight words lessons
|
Formal and informal assessment
Students will
be assessed on sight word recognition through Bingo game participation and
completion and will be assessed on using sight words in correct context
through computer-based activities. Students will have to participate, follow
instructions and construct sight words that will be placed on Word wall. They
will write these words on Bingo board and these will be handed in after to
evaluate individual student’s performance.
|
Instructional procedure:
●
First, students will review connect of sight words
and review sight words already learned that is placed on Word wall. Practice
using them in sentences.
●
Introduce 8 new sight words (refer to vocabulary )
and write out on sentence strips , including example of usage in a sentence
context. And place on Word Wall so students can reference. Reread through
choral reading and review words once more.
●
Introduce Bingo game and hand out Bingo boards (don’t
have to be more than 3 x 3). Implement all words on sight words Word Wall in
game so will be proper review. Help students who have difficulty writing in
words and make sure they understand they can reference back to Word Wall for
any assistance.
●
Call out words until there is a winner of game.
Collect Bingo boards for evaluation.
●
Have students prepare to play computer –based
activities. Review instructions and adjust levels accordingly for every
student before they play the games. Be available to assist any student who
may need any extra assistance and instruction if necessary.
●
Once activities are completed, initiate follow-up
discussion and review and have student share thoughts on games and
activities.
●
Accommodations and modifications: ELLs/struggling readers:
Visual and technology-integrated activities that have diferent levels so they
can be modified accordingly

Reflection
This lesson on sight words incorporated
different types of learning strategies, from choral reading, to using a Word
Wall, to technology integration and gaming. I feel this supports learning for
the class as a whole as there is various methods of learning that can cater
to diverse types of learning, from visual to auditory to verbal learners. The
Bingo game is very engrossing and makes students very aware of the words they
are writing and the Word Wall is a great reference for all students,
especially those who may need a little extra review such as ESL students. Technology
based learning is usually more visual and allows for modifications so that
the learning will be accessible and appropriate for all learners, for example
the games have different levels and visual and auditory can be adjusted and
the games can be accessed from almost anywhere. I feel improvements using technology
and games such as Bingo only motivates students further and gets them actively
involved in hands-on learning so they can actually use the sight words in context
and recognize them, not just read of words listed by a the teacher. When students
are engrossed and motivated to learn, actual chances of learning and comprehension
are definitely greater.
