Key Concepts

  • Letter recognition (uppercase and lowercase F)
  • Phonics (the /f/ sound)
  • Vocabulary development (F words)

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to identify the uppercase and lowercase letter F.
  • Students will be able to produce the /f/ sound.
  • Students will be able to identify and name at least three words that start with the letter F.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Greet students and introduce the letter of the day: F. Show a large, colorful letter F (both uppercase and lowercase). Ask if anyone knows the letter. Briefly discuss things they already know about the letter F or any words that start with F.
  • Video Time! (3 mins)
    Play the 'The Letter F Song' video by Bounce Patrol. Encourage students to sing along and do the actions.
  • Sounding out 'F' (5 mins)
    After the video, practice making the /f/ sound together. Explain how to make the sound (air passing between your teeth and lips). Have students practice saying the sound repeatedly. Play a quick game of 'Simon Says' using the /f/ sound (e.g., 'Simon Says make the /f/ sound').
  • F Word Exploration (7 mins)
    Review the F words from the video: frog, family, fire truck, fish, football. Show pictures of each item. Ask students if they can think of other words that start with F (e.g., flower, fan, food). Write the words on a whiteboard or chart paper, emphasizing the letter F.
  • F is for Fun Activity (10 mins)
    Distribute worksheets with a large letter F outline. Have students decorate the F with pictures or drawings of things that start with the letter F. Alternatively, provide construction paper, glue, and magazines for a collage activity focusing on F-related images.

Interactive Exercises

  • 'F' Sound Hunt
    Hide pictures of items, some starting with 'F' and some not, around the room. Have students search for the pictures and identify which ones start with the /f/ sound. When a picture is found, the student should say the word aloud and confirm if it begins with the target sound.
