say the name of the sound and sing the song of it. Then he must put
the card on the floor.
To introduce the new sound, the teacher will tell a story and use the
new words that start with the sound. Then she will introduce the letter
and sound. For example, “On a hot and sunny day I wore my hat and
went to the farm to ride a horse. When I went there I saw the horse
and a hen too. I ride a horse with a help of the man. The horse was
running so fast, fast and fast! And I pulled the hard rope and stopped
the horse. My hand was hurting me and my heart was beating so
fast. I felt so hungry and then I eat my honey which was in my
handbag. Suddenly, I remembered that I had to do my homework.
And then I went back to my home and wrote the homework.
Ask children to guess what is the new sound? Then the teacher will
introduce the new letter and sound h. Focus on the sound and sing
song of sounds h. Ask children to write h in the air, on the mat and on
their peers back. Show the children flashcards of sound h and talk
about them to relate in with real life.
Demonstrate the activities to the children and explain the learning
opportunities that are available to them in the learning centers.
