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.
Tests
for each objective:
1. The test for this objective will be a
one-on-one auditory test with an adult. The adult will have flash cards, a
sheet of paper with a variety of letters, or an alphabet chart to assess the
child.
The adult will say, “What is the name of this
letter (point to a letter)?

When this sheet of paper is on the table,
the objective is to see if the child can pronounce the letter name by the sight
of the letter.
The test is to go through these sheets,
which combined will have all 26 letters both uppercase and lowercase letter, to
evaluate if a child knows the name of the letter by sight.
2. The test for this objective will be a
multiple-choice test. (The sounds that are underlined will be given by an
adult, and not written on the test itself)

3. The test for this objective will be a
two-part test. The first part is an essay test.
Pick a letter of the alphabet. Using the
alphabet picture cards of the letter, write a story at least three sentences
long using at least three of the cards. Make sure to give your character a name
starting with your letter of the alphabet.
Example: Letter is Jj. Cards are jaguar,
jump, jump rope, jelly, jungle, jam, and jeans.
There was a jaguar was named Jordan. One
day, Jordan jumped over a jar of jam. He tripped and had jam all over his
jeans. Mom called Jordan over to the jeep to drive him home to clean his jeans.
Teacher notes: Each student will have
their own letter of the alphabet. Have the students underline the words they
use from the cards. They will be graded on spelling their words from the
picture cards correctly, having a story that makes sense, and being able to
write their letter correctly (both capital for the name, and lowercase for the
words from the picture cards). The story must be three sentences long and the
story contains at least three picture cards.
The second part of this test, since these
kids are in kindergarten and their writing skills are still being worked on,
they must come to a teacher and read their story to the teacher. The teacher
should take exact dictation of their story, writing each word under the word
they are reading.
4. The test for this objective is going to
be a matching test.
Match the picture to the beginning sound
of the picture. Each picture should be used once.
Example:
Aa -----------------

6.
Tt
Another
test item for this objective would be a similar item as above, but in column
form. Having columns of the letters and a wider variety of pictures allows for
a clearer cut view of knowledge of the beginning phonemes paired with a letter.
Cut
out the pictures, say the picture aloud, and glue them under the letter that
has the same beginning sound. Each picture should be used once.
