  • 1Recall the names and sounds of individual letters in common Ghanaian words
  • 2Display the word 'YAM' on the board. Ask learners: What letter does this word start with? What sound does it make? Learners call out the letter name and sound chorally
  • CONNECTING LETTER SOUNDS TO BUILD WORDS
  • 1Write the word 'CAT' on the board. Point to each letter and say its sound aloud: /c/ /a/ /t/. Then blend the sounds together smoothly: 'cat'. Ask: Which animal is this? Repeat with 'BAT' and 'MAT' using the same blending method. Learners repeat the blended word after you each time
  • 2Give each learner an exercise book and dictate three simple words one at a time: 'PAN', 'RUN', 'SIT'. As you pronounce each word slowly, learners write the letters they hear in their exercise book. After each word, ask a volunteer to read back what they wrote aloud, and the class confirms if the spelling matches the word you said
  • 3Struggling learners: work with you individually to segment and write just 'PAN' and 'RUN' using the textbook letter chart as reference.
  • 1Textbook
  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Manila card
  • 4Dictionary
  • 5Reading materials (simple CVC word lists)
  • 1Display the words 'DOG', 'LOG', 'FOG' on Manila cards in sequence. Point to each word and ask learners to blend the sounds aloud together: /d/ /o/ /g/ → 'dog'. Repeat for each word and ask: What do all these words have in common? (They rhyme; they end with the same sounds.)
  • 2Learners hold up fingers 1–5 to show confidence: 1 finger = I need more help blending sounds, 5 fingers = I can blend sounds easily. Use responses to note who needs extra support in the next lesson
Exercise
  • 1Dictate the word 'SUN' slowly, sound by sound. Learners write the word in their exercise book. Ask: Can you point to each letter and say its sound? Then blend the sounds together and read the whole word aloud to your partner
