Full teaching script
  1. Today: Sounds and letters. Our goal: Hear and say the first sound in words.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Every word starts with a sound. Say 'sun' slowly — sss-un. That first sss is the letter s. We listen first, then we look at the letter shape, then we write it in the air.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Find five things in the room and say the sound each one starts with.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
