In considering what to teach in my Language Arts lesson plan, I chose the picture book, The Napping House by Audrey Wood. There are numerous options of what I can teach that correspond with this book. For example, rhyming words, syllables, beginning sounds, ending sounds, vowel sounds, and phoneme manipulations are among the options that I can teach to my first graders that relate to The Napping House.
This particular children's book is a cumulative story, much like The House that Jack Built. Kids love this book and I am looking forward to incorporating it into my lesson.
I am not entirely sure which concept I am going to teach my first graders to accompany the book. I would like to pick two areas from the options I listed above to cover in my lesson plan. As of now, I have decided that I would like to teach beginning sounds and vowel sounds. However, phoneme manipulations is another option that I am interested in teaching. In these important concepts, I will pick words from the story, as well as other words that the students are familiar with for the activities. I will then ask the children to help me find other words that have the same beginning sounds and vowel sounds as the words we found in the story.
In choosing this particular lesson plan and picture book, I wanted to pick a story that would be fun for the students and also would get them excited about participating in the lesson. I think I have chosen a great book and lesson and am very excited about teaching it!

Ashleigh I love that book The Napping House!! It was one of my favorites when I was younger and I had forgotten all about it until I read your post :) I'm sure it will work really well in your lesson and I bet the kids will think it's funny too!
It's awesome that you have such a good start on your lesson plan. Even though it makes me feel a little behind, good luck with the rest of your planning :)
