2A. Vocabulary

Note on Plurals: Usually plural nouns end in “s” or “es,” but person changes to people. The plurals men, women, and children have irregular spelling and all end in “en” without an “s.”

1. Say the new words in a simple sentence: “This is a person” several times, while indicating the object or picture. Students just watch and listen. Be sure to use a natural speaking voice, and good rhythm and intonation.

2. Say the word and the article that goes with it several times, as you indicate the object. For example, say: a person, a person, a person. Have your students then repeat the word after you several times.

3. Say the word in the same sentence again. Have students repeat after you each time, “This is a person.”

4. Check students’ comprehension by asking direct questions. For example, What is this? Where’s the animal? Is this a child?

4A. Pronunciation - Sound and Spelling

1. Model: Say the sound several times while pointing to it. (For example, point to the “oo” and say /oo/ /oo/ /oo/. Then say the sound and quickly read the entire list, pointing to each item as you read it /oo/ look, good, book, woman). Students just watch and listen.

2. Repeat: Say the sound and each word several times, having students repeat each time after you in unison. Be sure to use your normal voice and rate of speed. Do one column at a time, top to bottom. Then read the sentences.

�3. Solo: Call on individuals to say a sound and its word group. Give lots of praise.

4. Challenge: Choose another sound from the lesson that is challenging for your particular students to pronounce. Use words from Parts 1 and 2 of the lesson, and from previous lessons to make a group of 3-5 words. You may repeat the same challenging sounds in several lessons. Students need a lot of practice on sounds that do not exist in their first language.
