    An Alphabet Lesson Plan for Preschoolers Using Dr. Seuss’s ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!

    Preschool Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Themes for Year-Round Learning / By Melissa Elizondo / Early Education Information for Teachers, Parents & Caregivers

    This lesson plan uses the all time favorite author, Dr Seuss, to teach phonemic awareness to preschool children. It also reinforces alphabet letter recognition. This would also be a great lesson to do with a partner class.

    Materials

    • Using Dr. Seuss's ABC Book to Teach an Alphabet Lesson

      Dr Seuss’s ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book

    • Chart Paper
    • Crayons/markers or paint
    • Pencils
    • Yarn or Ribbon

    Prior Knowledge

    Discuss the role of author and illustrator. Talk about what each one does.

    Sing the alphabet song. Talk about how letters make up words and how each letter has its own sound(s). Pick a letter like “t," and tell students what sound it makes. Then come up with a list of words that start with “t."

    Teach

    Read Dr Seuss’s ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!” to your students. You can also sing the book to the tune of the alphabet song. Discuss their favorite alphabet letters and illustrations.

    Procedure

    Explain to the students that they are going to become an illustrator. After you are finished, assign each student a letter. You can work with a partner class, or you can give each student two letters to do.

    Pass out the chart paper. Have students write their assigned alphabet letter at the top of the page in upper and lower case. Then, have your students think of two things that start with their assigned letter and draw them on the chart paper. You may have to help students brainstorm their items. Encourage them to look around the classroom for ideas.

    Have them write the letter again in upper and lower case at the bottom of the page. Then, have them color their illustrations. When everyone is finished, bind the book with yarn or ribbon.

    Assess

    Have students tell you the sound(s) of the letter that they have been assigned. See if they can remember one more letter sound.

    Extend

    Once everyone is finished, have a book launch party. Invite another class to come and listen to your handmade ABC book.

    Have students bring in a letter bag. Have them bring in items from home that start with the letter that they were assigned in the alphabet book and present it to the class.
