Discriminating Letters

Objective: Identify matching letters out of sets of letters.

Materials:
    Copies of the worksheet for each student.

Class Arrangement:
    Large or small group or individual.

Procedure:
        Hand out sheets.
        Lay overhead transparency on machine with everything covered except the
        first line of letters.

        Instruct the students to circle the letters to the right that are like
        the letter to the left. Demonstrate by circling the letters "a". Have
        the students circle the letters on their individual worksheets.

        Reveal the next line on the overhead transparency. Have students mark
        that line on their worksheet, then circle the appropriate letters on the
        overhead so they can check their work.

        Repeat #4 until students understand the task, then allow them to
        complete their worksheets.

        Uncover the entire overhead and mark the correct responses. Allow the
        student to check their work. Circulate and give assistance to those that
        need it.
