Content:

Listening Skill:

1. Sound sequences: Listening to sounds in order. Example: Listen to “cat,” “dog,” “bat.” Which comes first?
2. Sound/word identification: Recognizing sounds and words. Example: What word starts with the sound “buh”?
3. Short-term auditory memory skills: Remembering sounds briefly. Example: Repeat the sounds “cup,” “bell,” “sun.”

Pre-Writing: Curves to the Left

• Learn to draw curves moving towards the left direction. Example: Draw a curve like this ↩️

Introduction to Letter Sound /e/:

• Identify and trace the letter “e” which sounds like “eh.” Example: Trace the letter “e” like this e
