Prep for Teachers

Prior to the lesson:

Review the /b/ sound with students.
Gather all materials: pencils, crayons, and Activity Sheets.
Check equipment: TV, VCR, and computer.

Bookmark the Web sites: Combinosounds: Concentration and Combinosounds: Flashcards.
Make a copy of Activity Sheet 1 for each student. Make enough copies of the Response Sheet so you have one to grade each student on for the Assessment.
Preview the video to familiarize yourself with the pausing points. Cue the video to the first segment.
When using media, provide the students with a Focus for Media Interaction, a specific task to complete and/or information to identify during or after viewing of video segments, Web sites, or multimedia elements.

Introductory Activity

Step 1: Introduce the /b/ phoneme to the students in isolation. Model to the students the b technique by putting the lips together and blowing five times each.

Step 2: Model and have the students produce the sound simultaneously with you in isolation five times each.

Step 3: Introduce the /b/ phoneme in syllables (ex.be). Model to the students how to produce the sound.

Step 4: Model and have the students simultaneously produce the /b/ sound.

Step 5: Introduce words with the /b/ sound in the initial position and model to the students how to produce the words (ex. boy).

Step 6: With the students simultaneously produce the /b/ sound in the initial position of words.

Learning Activities

Step 1: Insert Letter TV, Lesson 1: "The Consonant B," into your VCR. Provide your students with a Focus for Media Interaction by telling them to listen for the /b/ sound. START the tape at the beginning of Lesson 1 on the /b/ sound. The lesson is five minutes long.

Step 2: PAUSE the tape at the Letter Music break. Ask the students to produce the /b/ sound in words such as bee and boy.

Step 3: Provide the students with a Focus for Media Interaction, asking them to listen for more words beginning with the /b/ sound. RESUME playing the tape up to the next Letter Music Break.

Step 4: STOP tape at the end of Lesson 1. Provide the students with a Focus for Media Interaction, by asking them each to name one /b/ word they heard on the video.

Step 5: Have computer set to Combinosounds: Concentration. Explain to the students that the Web site will increase their production of /b/ words along with other sounds such as p, m, h, and w. Provide your students with a Focus for Media Interaction by having the students repeat the words after you read them from the computer screen.

Step 6: Have computer set to Combinosounds: Flashcards. Explain that the Web site will target correct production of the /b/ sound and other phonemes. Provide your students with a Focus for Media Interaction by having them repeat the words after you read them from the computer screen.

Culminating Activity

Step 1: Have the students stand up and you call out words containing the /b/ sound. When the children hear a word with the /b/ sound, they are to clap one time.

Step 2: Distribute the /b/ sound activity sheet (Activity Sheet 1). Read the words out loud to the students and allow them to color all pictures beginning with the /b/ sound.

Assessment

Ask each student to produce the /b/ sound individually in isolation, syllables and the initial position of words with teacher models. Record how each student does on his/her Response Sheet (Activity Sheet 2).

Cross-Curricular Extensions

Language Arts: Have the students use the /b/ sound to recognize familiar words while reading.

Math: Have the children count out loud each time the /b/ sound is produced. This will increase their one to one correspondence with numbers.

Spelling: Have the students use words with the /b/ sound to make a word wall list.

Community Connections

Let students look in their classrooms at their sight words and identify any words with the /b/ sound.
Let students listen to their parents and teacher and see how many times in a day they produce a word with the /b/ sound.
