Method: ask each child if they can say which is the first letter of their name. Encourage the children to
pronounce their name and think about the first sound. The teacher can try to change the first sound and
assess whether the children can make the difference between the sound the teacher says and the actual
first sound of their name.
Key questions: 1. Can you tell me your name?
2. (to a child whose name is Susan) - Ok, Musan, so what is the first sound in your name? (wait for the
children to notice the difference between the real name and the made up name)
