New volunteer tutors can be intimidated by the task of creating a lesson plan for an adult basic literacy student. While the term “lesson plan” seems formal, it is actually a flexible tool to help the tutor organize lessons for the student.<\/p>\n

There are two keys to successful lesson planning. The first is that lesson plans should center on the student\u2019s goals. The second is that the lesson plan should meet the student at his current skill level as determined by formal and informal assessments of the student\u2019s reading and writing.<\/p>\n

These two keys are then used to determine objectives, create activities and choose materials for the lesson. These will be discussed under new or in-progress<\/strong> work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the flow of the lesson plan there are 6 basic components as shown on the Sample Blank Lesson Plan<\/a>. Tutors may add to it or modify it in any way to make it easier to plan lessons for the student.<\/p>\n

Review the homework<\/h2>\n

It’s important to do this with the student. He has worked hard to complete the assignment. By reviewing it together, it shows that the tutor respects the student\u2019s time and effort.<\/p>\n

Review the previous lesson<\/h2>\n

This refreshes the student\u2019s memory and gives the tutor an opportunity to re-teach forgotten or misunderstood activities. In order for lessons to be stored in long-term memory they must be reviewed several times.<\/p>\n

New or in-progress work<\/h2>\n

This is the core of the lesson plan. I like to think of this as circular process as the objectives, activities and materials influence each other. An objective<\/strong> is a statement of what the student is to achieve<\/em>. It is measurable. One to three objectives per lesson is reasonable. Activity<\/strong> creation is the time for the tutor to be resourceful and use imaginative employing activities to meet the student\u2019s goals.\u00a0 Activities could be Language Experience Stories, Duet Reading, Story Mapping, Word Slides, Brainstorming, or Editing Punctuation. The possibilities are endless. Materials<\/strong> should be chosen because they relate to the student\u2019s goals. Magazines, the internet and junior nonfiction and fiction are excellent resources.
