Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

(Procedure for teaching letter sounds each week)
*
Rapidly revise the letter sounds learnt so far.
*
Introduce a tongue twister or a rhyme in which the sound for the week is. Say it two times and let learners identify the target sound in the tongue twister or rhyme.
*
Introduce the letter by writing the capital (Upper case) and the Lowercase boldly on the Chalkboard/ white board.
*
Point to the letter, Capital first and then lower case and say the sound 3 times and have the learners also repeat
*
Introduce the key word in which we can find the letter-sound.
*
With the use of word cards, have learners show the position of the letter-sound learnt in words, beginning, initial and ending.
*
Writing: Teacher models writing the letter in the air, have learners take turns with you writing in the air and then on their friends back, on their arms.
*
Learners finally write the letter sound and its key word in their exercise book.
