Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Introduce target letter-sound for the week to learners. Have learners identify words beginning with the letter-sound for the week
Learners search for words with the letter sound at different position- beginning, middle and the ending sound. E.g. dada - the beginning sound is /d/ and /wind/ the sound is at the end. Learners practice the writing of the letter in the air, on other flat surfaces and write it boldly in their writing/exercise books. Read sentence strips to learners and have them identify words that begins with the letter-sound of under study. Have learners design the given letter using pebbles, shells, etc. and talk about their designs
