Letter Learning Lesson
Letter Learning Lesson
DURING READING
BACKGROUND Ojective: Identify the name, sound, and
form of capital and lowercase Cc.
Exemplar Word coconut Letter Chant capital C, lowercase c, /k/, coconut About the Letter The book is about Cora whose name starts with a hard c sound, /k/, as does coconut. There are several hard c words in the book most of which are followed by a vowel. One exception is crack. Words that start with the letter Cc may have different sounds, too, including /s/ when c is followed by e, i, or y.
Target Words in the Text Cora, coconut, can, cat, car, cool, cut, cook, crack Decodable Words will, can, it, gets,
BEFORE READING
Cc
(5–7 MINUTES)
First Read / Read Aloud Say: Listen to find out why Cora wants a coconut. Read the story all the way through, pausing only to show the pictures on each page. After reading, ask: Why does Cora want a coconut? (to eat it; to make coconut cookies)
Second Read / Read Along Pass out books to a small group of children. Say: This time, pay attention to every word you hear and see that starts with Cc.

(3–5 MINUTES)
Warm Up with Phonemic Awareness Say the sound: /k/. Ask the children to say it with you. Then do a quick activity to have children listen for beginning sounds. Say: If you hear the /k/ sound at the beginning of the word, put your thumb up: cat, monkey, goat, collards, cut. Introduce the Letter Name and Form the Letter Show the cover. Have children find the capital C in the title. Read the title, pointing to C in Cora and Coconut to model that C at the start of these words stands for the /k/ sound. Read aloud the introduction (up to p. 3). Trace capital C and lowercase c together (see p. X for letter formation guidance). ELL Scaffold Language Point out the word can has two different meanings. Children may know can means “be able to.” Show p. 5 as an example of how can is used to describe a metal container. Talk about kinds of cans children may know, such as a paint can and a can of soup.
Set the Purpose Point to the coconut picture. Remind children that a coconut is a fruit that grows on trees. Have children say the word with you: coconut. Say: Whenever you hear the word coconut, think of the /k/ sound that stands for c. Tell children that you are going to read the book two times. The first time, children will listen to the story. The second time, children will go back to each page for letter learning.
Multimodal Learning
Props or Pictures Bring in objects or print out pictures of words that start with Cc from the story: can, cat, car, cane. Label each. Ask children to take turns completing the sentence orally: Cora tries to get the coconut with a _______.
Children listen as you read. Children can make a C shape with their left hand every time they hear or see a Cc word. Stop on each page to invite children to find words they hear and see that begin with Cc. Use these prompts as models. Say: p.6: I notice a word with lowercase c on this page. Can you point to it? This word rhymes with man. Read it with me. (can)
p.10: here are two Cc words on this page. One has a lowercase c and one has a capital C. Point to the words. Now, say them with me. (Cool, coconut) p.13–14: Find two words that start with c on these pages. Say them with me. (cut, cook)
Developing Readers Children read as much of the story as they can on their own. Children can search for words that begin with capital C and lowercase c as they read. Invite volunteers to read Cc words they know. Use these prompts as models. Say: p.4: How many times do you hear the /k/ sound in coconut? (two) Have children find c twice in the word, noting both the beginning and middle sounds.
AFTER READING
p.6: There’s a word on this page that ends with an and starts with a /k/ sound. What is it? (can) p.8: The c word on this page looks like can but has a different sound after /k/. Is that sound like far or like bake? (far) Read the word. (car) p.13–14: There are two things that the characters do with the coconut. Both start with /k/. What are they? (cut, cook)
(3–5 MINUTES)
Recall and Respond Review the Letter Learning questions on p. 15 of the student book. Invite children to look back to answer them. Talk about all the words that start with Cc. in the words and pictures.
