Presentation

The lesson presentation is done step by step. The class teacher or subject teacher does the following

1. Introduce the list of words and explain that these are important words that they will encounter in their everyday lives. Then go over each word individually, sounding it out and breaking it down into syllables to help the pupils understand how to pronounce and spell it.
2. To further reinforce the spelling of each word, the teacher might have the pupils write each word several times on a worksheet or use flashcards to quiz them on the spelling. The class teacher might also incorporate interactive activities, such as word games or word searches, to make the learning process more engaging and enjoyable for the pupils.
3. In addition to reinforcing the spelling of each word, the teacher would also focus on teaching the meanings of the words and how to use them in context. To do this, I would provide examples of each word in a sentence and encourage the pupils to come up with their own sentences using the words.
