Phonemic Awareness
Materials: Picture cards, phonemic awareness worksheet
• Say the word bat and emphasize the /b/ sound: /b/ /at/. Have students listen for the
/b/ sound at the beginning of the word as you repeat it. Then have them say the word.
• Tell students you are going to say some words. Some of the words begin with /b/ and
other words do not. Tell them they should say /b/ whenever they hear the /b/ sound at
the beginning of a word. Say the following words one at a time, allowing time for student
response: sun, bike, boy, tuna, door, big, balloon, ant, bug.
• Say the word knob, emphasizing the /b/ sound, and ask students what sound they hear at
the end. Tell them that sometimes they can hear the /b/ sound at the end of words. Say
the following words one at a time, and ask students to say /b/ whenever they hear /b/ at
the end of a word: cub, glass, cup, lab, run, job.
• Mix up the picture cards and place them in a pocket chart or along the chalkboard ledge
as you name each one. Ask individual students to help you sort the pictures according to
those that start with the /b/ sound and those that end with the /b/ sound.
• Play I Spy. Look around the room to find things whose names start/end with the /b/
sound, such as ball, basket, box, broom, book, blocks, and knob. Give clues until students
identify the item which begins/ends with the /b/ sound.
• Give students the phonemic awareness worksheet for extra practice.

Introduce the Sound/Symbol Relationship for Bb /b/

read the word with you.
• Have a volunteer come up and point to the letter in the word ball that stands for the
/b/ sound.
• Write the following silly sentence on the board: Ruby Babbit rubbed and scrubbed Bob’s
elbow with a bristly brush until he grumbled and begged her to stop. Read it to students and
have them listen for words with /b/.
• Have volunteers underline or circle each word in which they hear a /b/ sound.
• Read the sentence again, emphasizing the /b/ sound. Track each word with your finger.

Cumulative Review/Practice Sounds
Materials: Decodable student word cards, game board, place markers, die
• Line up the decodable student word cards in the pocket chart or along the chalkboard
ledge. Tell students that they have already learned the sounds to say these words. Point
to each word and read it with students. Then have individual students read the words. If
students have difficulty reading a word, model how to blend the sounds to sound it out.
• Have students take turns sorting the cards into groups according to the beginning sound.
Repeat, having students sort the words according to the final sound and the patterns of
sound within the words. Students can also sort the words according to those that begin
or end with /b/ and those that don’t.
• If time allows, give groups of students a set of the decodable student word cards, a copy
of the game board, place markers, and a die. Have students take turns throwing the die,
turning over a card to read it, and moving along the game board the number of spaces
indicated on the die if the word is read correctly.

and read quickly. Hold up the high-frequency word card she and read the word. Have

LESSON 17 Letter Bb /b/ continued
Read the Decodable Book
Materials: Decodable book Big Bad Bat
• Show students the cover of the book. Have them read the title with you as you run your
finger under each word. Ask students what they see in the picture and what they think
the story might be about.
• Turn to page 3 and ask students to count the words that start with /b/ (7).
• Have students tell what is happening on page 4. Say: Mem got a toy. Which word on this
page do you think says toy? Point to the word and have students repeat it with you. Ask
students what sound toy starts with.
• Turn to page 8 and ask the students what Mem and Bob are doing. Remind them that
another word for dance is bop.
• Give students their books. Read the first page together as you model how to sound out
decodable words and read high-frequency words quickly. If you think students are able
to read the book on their own, have them continue reading the book independently. If
you think students need more support, continue to read the book with them.
• After reading the book, ask volunteers to read their favorite sentences in the book.
Have them tell you what the bat did with the toy.
