Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Have learners sing an alphabet song. - Introduce consonant blends and digraphs, one at a time and have learners form words out of them and use them in sentences. Note: An important thing to remember is that a digraph is made of two letters, although the letters spell a sound e.g. bl, br, ch, ck, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gh, gl - Use the same procedure to teach vowel digraphs e. g. ai, ee, ea, ie, ei, oo, oe, oo, ue, oi, au
