knowledge and or phonics did the teacher focus on?

During the teacher read “The Rainbow Fish”. She tried to

achieve many goals such as in concept print "title and cover", in
phonological awareness "letter F", and in letter knowledge "she
showed them how the letter F looks like".

2. What strategies/activities did the teacher use to help the students

understand the concept being taught?

The teacher does the activity relate to the story and the letter "F". One of
the learning centres the students make a letter "F" by using the playdough.
Also, in the math centre, the students have story events and they tried to order
it in a correct way (sequences). Also, in the focus group, the teacher takes
group by group to let the students draw the events of the story "part by part"

word families that were covered during the lesson? If they were, select
