Pupils are introduced to the 26 letters of the English alphabet and their sounds. II) Pupils then practise verbal recognition of each letter and its corresponding exemplar words by pointing to the letter and pictures with their friends and identifying them. Writing Pupils learn the starting place and pencil movements required to write the alphabet and numbers 1 у 10 by first tracing and then copying them. Sight recognition of the unit exemplar words is also reinforced as pupils trace each letter in the context of the exemplar words.
