Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify ending letters and the sounds they make.

Introduction

(3 minutes)
  • Write the lyrics to “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” on the board (It can be helpful to write this in small sections so as not to overwhelm students).
  • Call students together and sing the song. It can also be fun to sing along to a book with words and illustrations that match the lyrics, like Row, Row, Row Your Boat illustrated by Annie Kubler.

Beginning

  • Preview the words in the song prior to this lesson plan, as it may be unfamiliar for ELs.
  • Find a visual aid, such as a book or a video clip, to use while singing the song to faciliate deeper understanding of the lyrics.

Intermediate

  • Provide individual copies of the rhyme-along with illustrations to students to use as a reference.
