English First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 1

Today, we will learn about the letters A, B, and C. Each letter has its own sound, and we will practice saying these sounds together. The letter A sounds like 'ah', the letter B sounds like 'buh', and the letter C sounds like 'kuh'. Let's repeat these sounds a few times to get familiar with them.

Let's look at some pictures. Here is a picture of an apple. What sound does apple start with? Yes, it starts with the letter A, which sounds like 'ah'. Now, here is a picture of a ball. What sound does ball start with? Correct, it starts with the letter B, which sounds like 'buh'. Lastly, we have a cat. What sound does cat start with? Right, it starts with the letter C, which sounds like 'kuh'.

Now, let's play a game! I will say a word, and you will tell me which letter it starts with. For example, if I say 'ant', you will say 'A'. If I say 'bat', you will say 'B'. If I say 'car', you will say 'C'. Let's do this together, and I will help you if you need it!

For your independent practice, you will receive a worksheet with pictures of different objects. Your task is to match each picture to the correct letter: A, B, or C. Draw a line from the picture to the letter it starts with. Remember to say the sound of the letter as you work!
