Reading Mini-Lessons

I saw Hattie's room with the color words on her ceiling. So, I decided to put the alphebet, upper case and lower case letters on the ceiling in my room (using only a small area of the ceiling). The kindergarteners lay on the floor. Then I turn off the lights and shine a flashlight up on the letter that I want them to learn. As a class, they have to say the name of the letter, the sound of the letter, and whether the letter is upper case or lowere case. Then I pick a few students to tell me a word that begins with that letter. We usually say several letters. The letters are different colors, so you could also use this to help the students learn the colors. Learning the alphebet while laying on the floor is so much fun and I enjoy teaching this way too.
