Lesson 3: Letter Formation
– Teach the children how to write each letter by demonstrating the correct stroke order and direction.
– Have them practice tracing the letters on worksheets or using sand, clay, or finger paint.
– Use sensory activities, such as forming letters with playdough or tracing letters on textured surfaces, to make learning more engaging.
Lesson 4: Letter Sounds
– Introduce the letter sounds alongside the letter recognition activities.
– Use visual aids like pictures and objects that start with each letter sound to reinforce the connection between letters and their sounds.
– Practice sounding out simple words by blending the sounds of the letters together.
Lesson 5: Letter Review and Reinforcement
– Review previously taught letters and their sounds using various games and activities.
– Provide worksheets or coloring pages that focus on writing and identifying letters.
