Instruction
C. Choose a childrens book that is appropriate for a specific grade level (kindergarten, first, second, or third grade), taking into consideration the specific needs, interests, and reading levels of the students in the class.
1. Justify (suggested length of 12 pages) why the childrens book you selected is appropriate for the lesson being taught.
D. Using the book you selected as an anchor, design three lesson plans (using the attached WGU Lesson Plan Format) to teach the following reading/literacy skills for a specific grade level, kindergarten, first, second, or third grade:
1. Word recognition, phonics, or concepts of print (your choice)
2. Phonological or phonemic awareness (your choice)
3. Oral reading fluency
Note: If your state does not have oral reading fluency standards for the grade level you have chosen, you may select to design a lesson plan on vocabulary or comprehension skills.
E. Incorporate a technology component into the lesson plan for the lesson you will teach.
