First Grade Elementary: Reading and Listening Class Plan

Listening and Reading Primary One
1. Predict events using pictures in a children’s narrative.
2. Recognise and read the sound ‘og’ in a children’s narrative.
3. Listen for a sustained period to a children’s narrative.

The teacher gathers the students to come to the front of the classroom and introduces the book.

The teacher and students will first discuss the cover of the book.

The teacher then reveals and read the title, followed by the author and illustrator.
Good morning class, today we will be exploring a new story!
Are you ready?
Cover
Looking at the cover, what can you see?
Where have you seen this animal?
What is the animal doing?
What do you think this story is about?
The title is Frog on a log. Why do you think they named the story that?

First Reading:
For each page of the book, the teacher and students will discuss pictures from the book and then the teacher will read the text.
The teacher encourages students to make predictions based on the pictures from the book.
The teacher would stop at the points of the story where predictions were made and using text of the story, the teacher will ask students if the predictions they made were correct.
The teacher may want to take note of some words (bog, log, jog, fog, trot, grinning, foolish, agog) found in the book which might be unfamiliar to some students.
The teacher may choose to pause at these words and check students’ understanding of word. The teacher then guides students to discover the meaning of the word through pictorial cues or clues from text.
Second Reading:
After the first reading, the teacher does a second reading where he/she invites the students to read the story.

...class activity will be carried out; the teacher divides students into groups of five. Each group is given a set of pictures (Appendix B) from the story and a story map (Appendix A).

Within their groups, students retell the story using picture cards in the right sequence and use it to fill up their story map. Students can fill up their story maps using simple drawings or words.

Each group then share and present their story maps to the class. Alright class, I want you to get into groups of five.
Each group will be given a set of picture cards and a story map.

Each member of the group is to take turns using the cards to retell the story to the rest of the members of the group.

Together as a group, I would like you to fill up the story map given.

I will be walking around, so do ask me if you have any questions.
