English First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 2

Today, we will focus on the sounds of the letters A, B, C, D, and E. Each letter has a unique sound that helps us form words. For example, the letter A sounds like 'ah' as in 'apple'. Let's practice saying these sounds together. Remember, the more we practice, the better we get at recognizing these sounds in words!

Let's look at the letter A. When we say 'A', we can think of words like 'ant', 'apple', and 'alligator'. Now, let's try the letter B. The sound for B is 'buh', and we can think of 'ball', 'bat', and 'bear'. I will say a letter, and you will help me come up with words that start with that letter. This will help us connect sounds to letters and words.

Now, let's have some fun with a sound hunt! I will call out a letter, and you will look around the classroom for objects that start with that letter. For example, if I say 'C', you might find a 'cup' or a 'cat'. Once you find an object, raise your hand and tell us what it is and the sound it starts with. This will help us learn to identify sounds in our environment.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw a picture of something that starts with the letters A, B, C, D, or E. After you finish your drawing, label it with the correct letter and sound. For example, if you draw an 'elephant', write 'E' next to it. This will help reinforce your understanding of letter sounds and their corresponding words.
