Content:

Introduction to the Lesson and Its Relevance (5 minutes): Begin by explaining to the students why learning to write four-letter words is important. You can say, “Today, we will continue learning about four-letter words. These are words with only four letters in them. It’s important to know these words because they help us describe things around us better. Think about the words ‘ball,’ ‘kite,’ and ‘tree.’ These are all four-letter words that help us talk about things we see every day.”

Identification of Four-Letter Words (15 minutes): Start by displaying a few flashcards with four-letter words, such as ‘ball,’ ‘kite,’ and ‘tree.’ Ask the students to look at the flashcards and say the words aloud. Provide clear examples of how these words are used in sentences. For example, for ‘ball,’ you can say, “A ball is round and bounces. We use it to play games.” Encourage students to repeat after you and pay attention to the number of letters in these words.

Mentioning Objects with Four-Letter Words (15 minutes): Show pictures of objects with four-letter names, such as a ‘ball,’ ‘kite,’ and ‘tree.’ Ask the students to mention the objects based on what they see in the pictures and provide the corresponding four-letter words. For instance, point to a picture of a tree and say, “What is this? It’s a ___.” Allow students to fill in the blank with “tree.” Encourage them to repeat and continue with other objects.

Constructing Sentences to Describe Objects (15 minutes): After identifying and mentioning objects with four-letter words, guide the students in constructing simple sentences to describe these objects. For example, show a picture of a kite and say, “Let’s make a sentence. What can we say about the kite? We can say, ‘The kite is colorful and flies in the sky.’ Can you try that?” Encourage students to create their sentences, using the four-letter words they’ve learned.
