Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

* Give learners a set of words with same beginning letter sounds and ask them to identify the letter sound, e.g. Bag, ball, bat, let learners circle the beginning letter sound,
* Ask them to delete the beginning letter sounds in some common words and replace it with another sound and see the new word they get. E.g. Letter sound /b/ and /t/ and /c/ to replace /s/ in soil. We get words like {boil, toil, coil, etc.
* Give them easier words to practise e.g. delete b from .bat and replace with [f, s,m,c,] Prepare a word wall (word chart) for the classroom with familiar words
