Display the Phonics cards around the room. Sing the alphabet song with students. Children can follow along, pointing
to each letter as they hear it.
Encourage the children to sing with you.
Sing the song together as many times as you wish, first slowly and then more quickly.

Lead-in


Hand out the Phonics cards. Say or sing the alphabet together with the class. As each child hears the letter on her
card, she holds up the card. Repeat with different children holding cards.

1 Look at the alphabet.




Hold up the page and point to the letters Aa, Bb, Cc, etc.
Point out to children that the first letter in each pair is uppercase, and the second letter in the pair is lowercase.
Have children follow along and point to each letter as you say the alphabet with the class.

Stand up, sit down




Hold up the Phonics cards one at a time, starting with Aa. Point out the uppercase and lowercase letters again.
As you hold up each card, read the letter twice, once for the uppercase letter and once for the lowercase letter as you
point to each one, for example, A - a, B - b, C - c.

Have children stand up tall on their toes or jump when they hear the first (uppercase) letter, and then sit or crouch
down low when they hear the second (lowercase) letter.

Order the letters






Hand out the Phonics cards to 26 different students. Read each letter, one at a time, as you hand out the cards. Point
out to children that the alphabet is always read in the same order.
Call out the letter A. The child holding the Aa card comes to the front (or turns around at her desk to face the rest of
the class).
Continue with the remaining letters. Be sure that as children come to the front, they stand in the correct alphabetical
order.
Starting with A, have the children hold up their cards and read their letters, as you go through the alphabet in order.
Repeat with different children holding cards.

2 Connect the letters Aa–Zz. Who’s blowing the bubbles?

Have children look at the letters in the picture of the girl. Ask Are the letters uppercase or lowercase? (lowercase).
Have children look at the letters in the picture of the boy. Ask Are the letters uppercase or lowercase? (uppercase).
Tell children they are going to connect the letters in each picture.
Remind children that the alphabet always starts with the letter A and goes in the same order. Have children tell you
what letter comes after the letter a (b, c, etc.)
Hand out crayons. Have children work individually to connect the letters in the correct order in the pictures.
Once children have connected all the letters, ask Who is blowing the bubbles? (Rosy and Tim).

3 Point and say the letter names you know.





Hold up the page and focus children’s attention on the letters in the large box.
Point to a letter, for example Gg. Ask children what the letters are. Repeat with other letters in random order.
Have children work with a partner, taking turns pointing to and saying the letters they know.
When children have finished, go through all the letters again as a class.

Worksheet 1: Unscramble the letters







Hand out a set of letters, one for each pair of children.
Tell them to make sure to shuffle the letters so that they are in random order.
Tell children they must unscramble the letters and place them face up on their desks in the correct order.
Monitor and help children as needed.
If children finish early, they can color the letters.

4 Say the letter names. What is your name? Find and circle the beginning letter in your name.









Hold up the page and focus children’s attention on the letters in the large circle.
Write the name Rosy on the board. Remind children that Rosy is the girl in the picture on the previous page. Ask
children what letter is at the beginning of Rosy’s name (R).
Circle the R in Rosy on the board. Then point to the R on your page and circle it with your finger.
Ask children Does a name begin with an uppercase letter or lowercase letter? (uppercase).
Repeat with the name Tim.
Have children work individually to find the letter on the page that is the beginning letter in their names. Have them
circle that letter.
Monitor and help children as needed.
For an added challenge, have children ask a partner what the first letter is in his or her name. Children can circle that

letter on the page too. Continue the game as long as you wish.

Weather report: Ask the class about today's weather.
Song: Play a warm-up song.
Warmer: What doesn’t fit?







Draw two simple faces, one with a smile and one with a frown, some distance apart on the board.
Put a set of Flashcards on the board under the face with the smile. Include one “odd” word from another set, for
example, cat, dog, elephant, and farm.
Point to each card one at a time and say the word for the class to repeat in chorus.
Ask the class Which card doesn’t fit? Take away the odd card from the board and place it under the face with the
frown.
Repeat with different cards. This time ask a child to identify the card that doesn’t fit for the class.
Repeat as many times as you wish with different word sets. Possible word groups are: colors, classroom items, and

words that start with B, C, etc.

Lead-in: Simon says…







Ask children to stand at their desks.
Explain that you are going to give instructions, in Vietnamese as needed. If the instruction begins with the words
Simon says . . . , children must do as you say. If not, they should stand still and wait for the next instruction. Any child
who gets this wrong is out of the game and has to sit down.
Give an instruction that is relevant to the values of respectful playing, e.g., Simon says . . . whisper quietly; Simon
says . . . walk quietly forward and back; Simon says . . . smile at your neighbor.
Intermittently insert an instruction that is not preceded by Simon says . . . and does not support the idea of respectful
playing, for example, . . . stomp your feet loudly.
Continue the game until there is one winner left standing, or a group of winners if you prefer.
