Kindergarten Scenario
Objective:
This lesson teaches the students how to recognize the lower case equivalent of the corresponding upper case letter.
Materials Needed:
• The class will be divided into groups of two or three and the following sets of cards created for each team:
• 4×6 index cards with all of the uppercase letters of the alphabet written on them, one letter per card
• 4×6 index cards with all of the lowercase letters of the alphabet written on them, one letter per card
• A large chart on the wall with the alphabet visible to the children
Procedure:
• Review the alphabet on the wall chart with the students
• Point out the uppercase and lowercase character for each letter
• Write each letter on the board for emphasis
• Divide the class into groups of two or three depending on the overall class size
• Give each team a set of the uppercase cards and a set of the lowercase cards
• First have the teams sort their uppercase cards according to the order of the alphabet as shown on the wall chart
• Next have the teams sort their lowercase cards according to the order of the alphabet
• Finally have the teams combine the cards and sort them according to the alphabet with the uppercase letter first then the lowercase letter
• Walk around the class and observe the work to make sure each team understands the instructions and are able to match the wall chart with their cards
• A key to learning is the ability to combine the lowercase letter correctly with the uppercase letter
