Theoretical Perspective:

·      Students need to learn and be able to recognize their vowels in order to better their reading. Vowels and simple words are important for children’s capability to read successfully.

Procedure/Step-by-step:

·      Explain and demonstrate the activity (Placed in “sub” folder on desk, website link already on computer desktop)

·      Split class into groups. (One to website, one to worksheet)

·      Each group will have 20 minutes in the center

·      Switch groups

·      Evaluate and go over worksheets

Closure:

·      Going over all of the activities that we did in class

Adaptations:

·      Since already in groups, have a designated child be the student helper with any child that needs help or every activity

Homework:

·      If the worksheet from the center isn’t finished in class, finish it at home

·      Send home the link to website and have children share at home

Evaluation:

A)

·      Students will be able to sort and recognize vowels A, E, and O.  (Walk around and check each student as they are on the website)

·      Sort and discover the vowel in a word. (Worksheet will evaluate how each student will do)

B)

·      Students will not be able to follow or understand the website

·      Students could get distracted on the computers and not stay on task.
