Read at least 10 mono-syllabic words formed from letter-sounds learnt in previous weeks.
Write the syllables learnt in their exercise books, boldly and legibly, using correct letter formation.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

(Procedure for teaching letter sounds each week: (see K2 .1.1.1.5)
* Rapidly revise the letter sounds learnt so far.
* Teach learners to blend individual letter sound to form one syllabic words. Practice creating many mono-syllabic words putting together consonant and vowel sounds. E.g. Ma, va, ba.
* Use the Pupils blending process. Call two pupils to the front and give them a consonant and a vowel sound. Let them hold individual letter card separately and gradually and slowly move towards each other until they stand close to each other and put their letters together to read a syllable. Pupils practice more of this process to help them blend sounds easily.
* Learners make their own simple words and copy them into their books
