AC9EFLY11 · letters and common sounds
Learning focus: I can name upper- and lower-case letters and say their most common sounds.
Model it: Letter name and sound: M m → /m/ as in mat S s → /s/ as in sun T t → /t/ as in tap
Ask the learner: What is the main idea of letters and common sounds?
Look for: The learner can I can name upper- and lower-case letters and say their most common sounds in a fresh example and explain the evidence or reasoning without copying the model.
If they are stuck: If the learner guesses or repeats a rule without evidence, return to the concrete or visual model and ask them to explain what each part shows.
