4. New Learning and Practice

1. Sing “Phonic song2 ”
2. Introduce the letters with flashcards

1) I gather everyone  around  so they are close –  sit on the floor. So I can easily pass cards back and forth with them.

2) I hold up an alphabet letter flashcard so all students can see it.

3) Chorus the letter 3 to 5 times. Then I ask each student individually to say the letter.

4) I teach the sound of the letter (e.g. "A is for 'apple' ). Chorus again and check individually.

5)Double-sided flashcards with the letter on one side and a picture on the other are great for this. (e.g.

"What's this?" (elicit "A"). "And A is for...?" (elicit "ah"). "And 'ah' is for ... (turning the card over) "apple!". We Chorus the word and  I check individually

6)I  do a final check:

Teacher: What's this? (holding up the 'A' flashcard)

Students: 'A'

T: And 'A' is for...?

Ss: 'ah'

T: And 'ah' is for...?

Ss: 'Apple! '

7) Then move onto the next letter.

     IV. Doing a different of activities to practice the letters

• Give and give back: I give the letter flashcard to a student and get him/her to say the letter, sound and picture before pass back . Then  I do the same with some other students.

• Pick it up: I put the flashcard on the floor and ask individual students to pick it up, say the name, sound and picture and then give me back .

• Write on the board: I teach write each letter,  I give a chalk / marker pen to a student and ask him/her to write the letter onto the board . 

• Magic Finger: I hold the flashcard letter up in front of each student and let them trace the letter on the card with their 'magic' finger. I  and students can then use their magic fingers to trace the letter on all sorts of fun places. For example, "Draw 'P' on your hand. Now on the floor. Now on your partner's back. Now on your cheek. Now on the wall. Now on your foot" etc.

      • Find It: Hold up a letter flashcard and the students search around the room for an object beginning with that letter. (e.g. A - apple, B - ball, C - cat).

5. Writing

As students are doing the worksheets,  I circulate and ask individual students questions about the letters (what is this letter? “A”, What sound is it? “ah”. And what is the picture? “An apple”.)

• Before the students begin printing, I model each letter print showing the directions of the letter strokes.

• When printing letters, I get students to call out each letter as they write it.

• The students write letter sets in different colors and I allow students to draw little pictures on their printing sheets.
