The Name lessons (games or activities) included in this unit are scripted. They are written in a format that can be easily taught by the teacher or readily handed off to a parent volunteer or a classroom aide with complete confidence that objectives of the lesson will be reached.
Children who are in the early stages of literacy development are well served if they are familiarized with the letters that make up their own name. This will not only provide an important link between speech and print, it will help them attend to sequencing, orientation and details within the construction of a word.
The lessons at the beginning of this unit will draw attention to and provide practice with writing and reading their own names. Repetitive practice will not only allow students to master proper handwriting conventions, but will establish a word-meaning connection.
The next lessons will expand the benefits gained from practice with one's own name as mentioned above to include the names of classmates. An extended skill will be recognizing the uppercase letter at the beginning of names and categorizing those names together. This will serve as the beginnings for practice in alphabetical order and dictionary skills.
Table of Contents:
Water Cap Names: Ordering letters in names and transferring knowledge.
Name Puzzles: Building familiarity with alphabet letters and their function when spelling one's own name.
Name Cheer: (A variation of Name Puzzles): Identifying and sequencing the letters in names.
Shave a Name: Using correct handwriting technique to write names.
Rainbow Names: Spelling and writing names.
The "Nameapillar": Ordering letters in names.
Trace A Name: Tracing names using correct letter formation.
Name Fishing: Reading the names of classmates, then sorting according to beginning capital letter.
Name Dictionary: Alphabetizing classmates' names.
Names: A Guided Reading Book
Name Fun: Ten Additional Name Conquering Ideas
