INTRODUCTION

Start with A is a reproducible book designed to introduce learners to the alphabet

and guide them toward reading and writing. Each chapter is four pages long, and

follows a similar pattern.

The first feature of Start With A is each unit concentrates on a particular letter of the

alphabet. There are 26 units in the book: A to Z. Each unit presents ten vocabulary

words. Words often used in teaching the alphabet were chosen. The letter in focus

may appear anywhere in the vocabulary word (e.g. For the letter A: arm, hat,

banana, etc.). The vocabulary words are introduced by ten clearly labeled

illustrations. Immediately, the learners can begin to associate the printed word with

the pictures in preparation for meeting many of these words in their reading texts.

The first task for you and your students is to study the drawings and their associated

words. It is strongly recommended that you allow your students to hear each word

repeated several times, and allow your students a chance to say the words out loud.

You may decide to spell each word for your students. After studying the tendrawings, the students then circle all the examples of the letter in focus for that unit.

Start With A gives students ample opportunity to print the letters they are learning.

In the first printing exercise the learners are guided in the formation of the letters by

shadow letters and numbered strokes.

Their next opportunity is a cloze exercise. Here the students are given vocabulary

words from the unit and they need only fill in the blanks with the letter in focus for that

lesson.

From there, the learners practice, with shadow letters and numbered strokes, writing

whole words from the unit.

Finally, in another exercise, the students are given a chance to print the letters

without shadow letters or numbered strokes. It is hoped that with this amount of

exposure and practice, learning will be both enjoyable and effective.

Other exercises include a matching the word with the picture exercise.

For working with sounds, in another exercise the learners are presented with several

of the illustrations from the unit. The students are asked to identify those that begin

with the letter in focus. This should help them to associate the letter with the sound or

sounds in some cases.

A more challenging part of Start With A is a Tic-Tac-Toe exercise. This task gives the

learners a chance to apply their cognitive skills in identifying three related items on a

Tic-Tac-Toe grid. The grid contains nine words and the students must decide which

three have the most in common. You should read the words aloud to your students,

and make sure they know the meaning of each word. If the learners need help with

a particular puzzle, there is a clue printed upside down below each grid.



Another feature of Start With A is a connect the dots drawing at the end of

each unit. Rather than use numbers, the learners are given a playful

opportunity to follow the letters of the alphabet in their proper order to complete the

picture.

With Start With A, repetition and discovery work hand in hand as the learners

acquire new and valuable knowledge.

Enjoy!
