Introduction
Students will identify the letters, "A" and "T." Explain why it is important to learn how to spell words.
Instruction
Explain how to "stretch" words to spell them. Students will follow these steps: 1) Think of a word. 2) Say the word slowly. 3) Listen for each sound. 4) Say a letter for a sound.
Students will drag each letter in the words, "cap," "fan," and "bat" and stretch each phoneme as they drag. They will also sound out the word, "pin" by writing in the beginning, middle, and ending sounds. They will do this with the words, "box," "car," "mask," and "sled." Next, students will complete CVC word by writing in the missing letter(s). Then, they will listen to the speaker say a word and spell it below.

Students will respond to ten short-answer questions that involving listening to a speaker and spelling the words they hear.

- Why is it important to know how to spell words?
