The document outlines a 55-minute phonics lesson for grade 1 students focusing on the letters a, b, c, and d. Students will listen to a podcast on the target letters, try singing the alphabet song, and pronounce each letter sound. An interactive PowerPoint presentation will have students identify pictures that match letter sounds. Students will then rotate through five activity centers - one for each letter - that involve matching worksheets, drawing pictures for letter sounds, and a final evaluation sheet. The lesson aims to help students learn to pronounce the sounds of the letters a, b, c, and d.
