Learning
Objective:
Kindergarten
unit of study is Alphabet study. Within this unit there will be many learning
objectives, each objective would be used for each letter of the alphabet, since
this unit would be a yearlong unit in kindergarten.
Learning Objectives:
1.
The
students will be able to pronounce the letter name by sight of the letter.
2.
The
students will be able to give the phonemes for the letter.
3.
The
students will be able to write the letter, both uppercase and lowercase,
appropriately.
4.
The
students will be able to use their phonemic awareness to organize objects based
on the starting letter.
Learning
Objective 1
This learning
objective supports the Colorado Standard: Reading, writing, and communicating,
standard 2, content 3a, iv; Recognize and name all upper-
and lowercase letters of the alphabet (Colorado
Department of Education, 2011)
This learning objective was created using performance aspect
of creating an objective (Naz, 2009). The student must show the knowledge of
the name of the letter.
This learning objective is based on the knowledge level of
Bloom’s Taxonomy (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010). The students are to name the
letters, requiring the children to remember the letters, but are not requiring
deeper cognitive levels.
Learning Objective
2
This learning
objective supports the Colorado Standard: Reading, writing, and communicating,
standard 2, content 3d, i; Demonstrate basic knowledge of
letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary or most frequent sound
for each letter (Colorado Department of Education, 2011).
This learning objective was created using performance aspect
of creating an objective (Naz, 2009). The student must orally show the
knowledge of the sounds of the given letters.
This learning objective is based on the comprehension level
of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010). The students are demonstrating
their knowledge of the phonemes by identifying the sounds of each letter.
Learning
Objective 3
This learning
objective supports the Colorado Standard: Reading, writing, and communicating,
standard 3, content 2a, i; Print many upper- and lowercase
letters
(Colorado Department of
Education, 2011)
This learning objective was created using the product aspect
of creating an objective (Naz, 2009). The student must show the mechanics of
writing letters.
This learning objective is based on the application level of
Bloom’s Taxonomy (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010). The students are to apply their
knowledge of fine-motor skill mechanics, in producing letters.
Learning Objective
4
This learning
objective supports the Colorado Standard: Reading, writing, and communicating,
standard 1, content 3c; Identify words orally according
to shared beginning or ending sounds (Colorado
Department of Education, 2011).
This learning objective was created using both performance
and the product aspects of creating an objective (Naz, 2009). The student must
show the use of phonemic awareness as well as to show how it was used.
This learning objective is based on the application level of
Bloom’s Taxonomy (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010). The students are to apply their
knowledge of phonemic awareness and organize objects based off their phonemes.
