Learning Objectives

Indicator: K2.1.3.1.5 - Begin to learn and Identify individual letter-sound of the alphabet in key words related to the theme and write the letters and key words legibly in their books.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Say the letter sound for the week correctly and identify it when they hear it in a tongue twister or rhyme about body care.
Match the letter sound to its capital (upper case) and small (lower case) form when shown on the board or on a card.
Trace and write the capital and small form of the letter in the air, on a friend’s back, on their arm, and finally in their exercise book.
Identify at least two key words related to personal hygiene that begin with the letter sound and say them aloud.
Write the letter and one key word legibly in their exercise books, using correct starting points and forming the letter in the right direction.

Context within the sequence: This lesson continues from the previous weeks where learners identified letters in their names (Indicator K2.1.3.1.4) and described how to care for their bodies (Indicator K2.1.3.1.1). It prepares learners for the next lesson where they will draw and colour hygiene items and copy their functions (Indicator K2.1.3.1.6).
