Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 23
Letter Ww
Subject: English | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the letter "Ww". Learners look at the big capital "W" and small "w", say the sound /w/, and look at a beach picture of a wolf cub and a whale enjoying the weather. They name the labelled pictures, well and watch, and find more /w/ things in the scene: the wolf, the whale and the watermelon. On the second day they trace and write "Ww", capital first, then small, circle the pictures that begin with /w/, and colour the watermelon. All talk is oral and playful.
