Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Introduce the letter for the week, e.g. the lower case of the vowel /a/
Write it boldly on the whiteboard or chalkboard. Introduce a key word in which they can find the letter of the week. The word should be related to a disease from the environment such as malaria, cholera, etc. Read the word and let learners repeat it three times after you. Hold letter cards of different names and words for learners to identify the letter 'a' in it. Ask learners who have the two letters /b/ and /a/ in their names to stand and mention their names.
