Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners create their own stories about the pictures in the Big book before it is read aloud to them. Stress on cleanliness words during the reading activity (e.g. neat, clean, tidy, clear, etc.). Learners come up with rules about how to take good care of books because books contain important information. Have learners draw clean classroom and talk about their drawing. Help learners sound out cleanliness words on word card and have them fill in the missing letters of selected ones written on the board. They can also have vocabulary games with cut out words and letters on cleanliness words. Have learners count and classify words by colour and length
