Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

(Procedure for teaching letter sounds each week: (see K2 .1.1.1.5)
* Rapidly revise the letter sounds learnt so far.
* Revise previous week's lesson on blending of two individual sounds to make one syllabic word as done the previous week using pupils blending game.
* Teach learners to blend monosyllabic words to form two syllabic words such as Ko-fi, gogo, te-do(tedo), to-lo(tolo), ba-ba (baba) A- ma.
* Use Pupil blending process as found in K2. 6.3.1.4 to teach blending of two syllabic words. Call to the front and give one- syllabic word each to 2 learners. Upon prompting, let them practise creating many mono-syllabic words by gradually moving towards each other sounding out the single syllabic words separately until they come together, put the two syllables together and sound them as one word. Call on many other learners to practise putting
together two monosyllabic words to become one word. {Ko+ fi=kofi, a+fi =afi. Ma+ma =Mama}.
