Writing
•
Show or draw an empty letter house.
•
Write a big P and a small p in the house. Be sure to show how to write the letters,
their position within the house, where to begin each line, and the proper direction to
draw them. Say:
•
Look at how big P starts in the roof… and goes into the house. Then starts again
in the roof.
And small p starts in the house… and goes into the basement. Then starts again
in the house.
Trace the big letter P on the board and have pupils write the letter with their finger in
the air or on their desks, then repeat with small letter p.
As you trace, say together with the pupils: The letter is P and the sound is /p/.
