=====Unit 1 - Isolation and introduction to sounds=====
+
Activity - For the words already introduced, the teacher will introduce the sounds the mouth makes when saying the words. To begin with, restrict it to beginning sounds.
+
+
"What is the sound your mouth makes when you say book?". The students may be able to say "b"
+
+
Here the local language should not be used. While children can listen and speak multiple languages, reading multiple script symbols is not to be encouraged.
+
+
Again the pictures of the words can be projected and students can work in pairs/ groups to say the sounds.
+
+
The teacher can record these and play for the class; this can be a peer assessment activity also.
+
=====Unit 2 - Showing the connection between sounds and script=====
+
Self learning, learners can browse through the letters and hear the sounds and register
+
=====Activities / processes (assessment)=====
+
#Self assessment - Quiz oneself - identify and utter the sound on seeing the letter.
+
#Hearing the sound and writing the letter
