Challenge strong pupils (or a strong class) to write the whole word "job," by sounding
out the phonemes of the word together.

Say: Find and color the big letters J green. Color the small letters j yellow.
•
Reveal to check answers.

The Letter Vv
•
•
Teach the new vocabulary using the flashcards.
Present the cards and say the words: video, vet, van.
Have pupils repeat the words.
Ask: What sound do you hear at the beginning of the words? (Elicit: /v/)
Show the letter Vv flashcard and say: The letter is V and the sound is /v/.
•
Have the pupils repeat.
Say: Look at your name cards. Does anyone's name begin with the letter V?
Writing
•
Show or draw an empty letter house.
•
Write a big V and a small v 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 V starts in the roof… goes into the house… and then again into
the roof.
And small v stays in the house.
Trace the big letter V on the board and have pupils write the letter with their finger in
the air or on their desks, then repeat with small letter v.
As you trace, say together with the pupils: The letter is V and the sound is /v/.
