Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 25

Letter Yy

Subject: English | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford

Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "Yy". Learners look at the big capital "Y" and small "y", say the sound /y/, and look at a kitchen picture of a big ball of yarn and a smiling pot of yoghurt on the table. They name the labelled pictures, yo-yo and yacht, and the yarn and yoghurt in the scene. On the second day they trace and write "Yy", capital first, then small, circle the pictures that begin with /y/, and colour the yacht. All talk is oral and playful.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Point to 'Yy' and say the sound /y/.
  • Name three things that begin with the sound /y/.
  • Trace and write 'Yy', capital first, then small.

Key Vocabulary

  • yo-yo
  • yacht
  • yarn
  • yoghurt
  • yak (page 68)
  • yellow

Speech-Bubble Sentence

  • "There is yarn and yoghurt on the table."

Note for the Teacher

  • The book prints the sentence as "There are yarn and yoghurt on the table." Yarn and yoghurt are "uncountable" words here, so the correct sentence is "There is yarn and yoghurt on the table." Say it this way with learners
  • The hairy animal on page 68 is a yak. Name it "yak" for learners

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 67
  • A real yo-yo
  • A ball of yarn (wool), a plastic comb and some tiny pieces of tissue paper
  • Picture cards (or the book pictures) of yo-yo, yacht, yarn, yoghurt
  • Yellow playdough
  • A tablet or screen for a short clip of a yacht sailing

Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit the learners in a circle and sing a hello song together
  • Draw a big "Y" in the air with your finger. Learners copy you
  • Say the sound /y/, as at the start of yes and yo-yo
  • Nod your head and say "/y/ /y/ yes!" together three times

Meet the Letter (4 minutes)

  • Open page 67 and point to the big "Yy"
  • Say: "This is big Y. This is small y." Learners point and repeat
  • Show that small "y" has a tail that hangs down

Look and Say (8 minutes)

  • Point to the yo-yo and say "yo-yo". Learners repeat. Show a real yo-yo going up and down
  • Point to the yacht and say "yacht". Learners repeat
  • Point to the big picture. Point to the ball of yarn and say "yarn". Learners repeat
  • Point to the smiling pot with blueberries on top and say "yoghurt". Learners repeat
  • Read the sentence: "There is yarn and yoghurt on the table." Learners echo it
  • Ask: "What is sticking out of the yarn?" (knitting needles)

Little Explorers (5 minutes)

  • Rub a plastic comb on a piece of yarn many times
  • Hold the comb over tiny pieces of paper
  • Watch the paper jump up towards the comb!
  • Say "yarn, /y/ /y/ yarn"

Little Innovators (4 minutes)

  • Play a short clip of a yacht sailing
  • Ask: "What pushes the yacht forward when it has no engine?" (the wind in the sails)
  • Learners blow on their hands to be the wind and say "yacht"

Little Builders (3 minutes)

  • Give out yellow playdough. Say "yellow, /y/ /y/ yellow"
  • Help each learner make one thing they like
  • Each learner tells the class what it is

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Ask: "What sound does yo-yo start with?" Learners say /y/
  • Move a hand up and down like a yo-yo and say goodbye

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy learners point to pictures instead of saying words; say the word with them
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to find all four /y/ things on the page without help

Day 2: Trace and Write (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 67-68
  • Pencils
  • Crayons
  • A ball of yarn and a flat paper circle

Warm-Up (4 minutes)

  • Show page 67 again. Point and say: yo-yo, yacht, yarn, yoghurt
  • Say the sentence together: "There is yarn and yoghurt on the table."
  • Nod and say /y/ three times

Little Thinkers (5 minutes)

  • Hold up a ball of yarn and a paper circle
  • Ask: "Which one will roll? Why will the other one not roll?"
  • Lay the paper circle flat on the table and give both a push
  • Talk about it: the ball is round all over, so it rolls; the flat paper circle just slides or stays still

Finger Tracing (4 minutes)

  • Open page 68 and point to the big outline "Yy"
  • Show the stroke for capital "Y": start at the top on the left and slant down to the middle. Start at the top on the right and slant down to the middle. Then go straight down to the bottom line
  • Show small "y": start at the top, go down and curve round, go back up, then go straight down below the line and curl the tail
  • Learners run a finger over the big "Y", then the small "y"

Trace and Write (8 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils and check the grip
  • Row 1: point to the black "Yy" at the start. Trace the dotted pairs, capital "Y" first, then small "y"
  • Row 2: trace the dotted pairs on your own. Check that the tail of small "y" goes below the line
  • Bottom row: confident learners write "Yy" on their own, capital first
  • Praise every try: "What a lovely long tail!"

Circle the /y/ Pictures (4 minutes)

  • Point to the pictures at the bottom of page 68 one by one and name them: yak, train, aeroplane, yo-yo
  • Ask: "Does it begin with /y/?" Learners circle each /y/ picture
  • Answers: the yak and the yo-yo are circled. The train begins with /t/ and the aeroplane begins with /ai/

Little Artists (4 minutes)

  • Colour the yacht at the top of page 68
  • As they work, ask: "What is this?" Learners say "yacht"

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Say /y/ one last time and draw "Y" and "y" in the air

Differentiation

  • Support: Hold the learner's hand for the first two pairs; use a thick crayon
  • Extension: Ask learners to think of one more /y/ thing they know (for example yellow)

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Guide learners to trace and write Yy, starting with a capital letter first, followed by a small letter.
