Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Have learners sing Alphabet song and point to the letters in the classroom. E.g. ABCD -F-G... Write some words on the board or manila cards, assist learners say the words slowly stretching them using a rubber band and have learners count the sounds they hear in the word. Repeat the activity with the names of some objects in the classroom and have learners say each of the words slowly, stretching them to hear the individual sounds, and count them. Highlight the sounds learners will be able to identify and assist learners to select the letter(s) that represent the sounds. Using phonics game, assist learners to replace different sound/letter at the beginning of some selected words to create new words e.g. /pin/ /sin/, /tin/, /bin/, /fin/etc. /tan/, /man/, /pan/, /fan/, etc. Have leaners count the number of words they can create and represent their answer visually arranging bottle tops, empty cans, cut out shapes, etc. or board illustrations with different colours of chalk or markers. Repeat these activities with different objects.
