HOW TO TEACH FIRST YEAR ESL
|
IM A NEW TEACHER IN MY FIRSY YEAR. TEACHING THE ABC LETTERS.
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: WHEN YOU TEACH A NEW LETTER AND YOU WRITE ON THE BOARD WORDS THAT BEGIN WITH THE LETTER- DO YOU TELL THE CHILDREN TO WRITE THE WHOLE WORD ( E.G. DOG) IN THEIR NOTEBOOKS OR JUST TELL THEM THAT DOG BEGIN WITH D .
THANK YOU! |

Dear Etibenben
When I introduce new sounds of the alphabet.... I emphasize the sound (initial sound - d as in dog) and then let the children copy the words from the board (or do other activities such as cut and paste words to match the pictures) A good idea is to write all the "ds" in red (eg.) dog, duck, dam, dust.
Enjoy your first year of teaching.
Kind regards
Joey
