Name Cards Activity
If there are any students in the class whose names begin with ‘C’ follow the instructions
for the Name Cards Activity in Lesson 8, on page 21.
Note: If a student’s name begins with the soft sound of ‘C’, e.g. Cindy, explain that their
name does begin with the letter ‘C’ and that sometimes ‘C’ has a different sound that the
class will learn another time.
Letter Cards
• Open the Workbook to pages 41and 43.
• Have students carefully remove the ‘C’ and ‘c’ Letter Cards.
• Ask: What is the difference between the big ‘C’ and small ‘c’? (They look the same but
one is big and one is small.)
• Now tell students to take out all of the Letter Cards they have learned so far and to put
them on their tables matching the big and small letters i.e. ‘Cc’, ‘Oo’.
‘C’ Chant (track 18)
• Point to the letter ‘C’. Chant with the class and do the appropriate action: The letter
is ‘C’. The sound is /k/. The word is ‘cold’. (Make the ‘C’ with your left hand, standing
with your back to the class.)
• Repeat for the letters ‘Oo’ and ‘Kk’.
ABC Poster, Mural and Song
• Have a student point to the letters ‘Cc’ on the poster.
• Chant with the class: The letter is ‘C’. The sound is /k/. The word is ‘cold’. Do the
appropriate actions.
• Hold up the mural piece for ‘Cc’.
