Preschool and Kindergarten Lesson Plans and Themes That Help Boost Early Reading Success in Your Young Learners

Included in the "Early Learning Solutions" program is a total of 22 themes and 6 seasonal mini-themes. Each theme includes 2-4 related emergent readers used to help teach beginning reading skills, a total of 80 emergent readers. Many of the readers have been professionally illustrated by cartoonist Ralph Hagen.

Sample Pages from the Free Friendship Theme

Using these readers as a shared reading experience will provide you with a powerful tool to teach beginning reading skills. The reader "A Retelling of the Kissing Hand" would be used after reading the book. The story line is simple and repetitive, allowing the children to read (pretend read) independently after it has been introduced during shared reading time. A sample page is found in the link below. This reader is found in your FREE Friendship theme.

Kindergarten and Preschool Lesson Plans and Themes that Help You Connect With Literature

Many of the themes have related literature selections and follow-up activities. For example, after reading the "The Kissing Hand" the reader found in your free sample Friendship theme, would be used to model the reading process. A sample page from the reader is found in the link above.

Theme Units That Offer You Over 150 Templates to Complete Your Craft Projects

The template to the right would be used as a follow-up craft activity to reading the book "The Kissing Hand" and corresponding emergent reader. This is an example of how the lesson plans have been carefully designed to integrate the different learning strands.

Preschool and Kindergarten Writing Lesson Plans and Activities

Each theme unit provides writing activity suggestions. An example of this can be found in your free sample theme unit. Throughout the theme, discussions will take place on being a good friend. After shared writing time, the children would complete the writing/craft project displayed on the left. The children write (or an an adult assistant) what is a good friend is. The chart used during shared writing time would be used as a guide.

Preschool and Kindergarten Lesson Plans That Help You Teach the Alphabet and Related Sounds Effectively

Using picture mnemonics has proven to be an effective way for children to learn the alphabet and their related sounds. The children would be introduced to the letter "'Oo" for "octopus" and its related sound after reading the emergent reader "Ollie Octopus Explores the Sea" and singing the related song from the Alpha Tunes CD. The picture mnemonic craft activity displayed on the right would be completed after to help reinforce the sound/symbol relationship. This activity is found in the "Ocean" theme unit.

Resources That Help Integrate Your Math Lesson Plans - Lesson on Shapes

After reading the book "The Little Engine That Could' by Watty Piper the children could be introduced to various shapes used to complete the math/craft activity displayed to the left (the little engine). The templates to complete the craft are included in the membership. This would be taught in conjunction with using the "Transportation" theme unit.

Connection to Music

The song "Jellyfish Jiggle" song would be used in the Ocean theme to introduce the letter "Jj". It would be used in conjunction with the emergent reader "Exploring the Sea with Ollie Octopus" which introduces the letter "Jj" within its story context. The song is from the "Kinderplans Alpha Tunes" CD.

Kindergarten and Preschool Lesson Plans that Provide You With Center Suggestions - Learning Games

Each theme provides suggestions for center ideas. Each month we are adding games that can be played to learn a new skill. One of the games is outlined below:

Learning Games - Zoo Theme

Game for the Younger Children - The children would roll the die and move the chosen game player accordingly. They would say the name of the zoo animal they landed on and mark this off on the game board chart. The first person to complete the game board chart would be the winner. This game is great for counting and identifying zoo animals.

Games for Older Children - The children would use a different game board chart. They must mark off the letter-sound the picture begins with.

Lesson Plans that Help Meet The Curriculum

Countless hours have been spent to ensure the resources cover the majority of the Kindergarten curriculum for a full-teaching year. Kindergarten expectations were carefully looked at when developing the materials. If you are a Preschool teacher, you can easily modify the materials to provide an outstanding program for your children. This would reflect positively in your favor!

I just want to say I have finished your 4 weekly plan on community helpers and cannot describe how elated I am with your lesson plans. I work in England and the phonics programme is a lot more demanding and full one here, but I use all your other phonics for my lower ability group. I use all your emergent readers and made a doctor's surgery using your photocopiables.
I just want to thank you immensely for hours of planning saved by your plans.
Thanks a million.

I have finally got around to spending time going through my various resources - and I do have many. Yours is perhaps the best I have, definately glad I came across your site as it has great resources and ideas. It is different in that it has been organized carefully and thoughtfully to simplify each theme into a 'book' with easy access to instructions. There does not seem to be endless writing - just resources and how to use them.

Thank you so much for your time in putting all your ideas together to create this amazing site and to all those who helped.
