Objective: Correct joining of a short, Rupert the White Sheep letter to a Pippa the Rabbit letter
Lesson plan:
In small groups, seated at a table each child has a Write and Wipe Board and a suitable pen. The teacher has the illustrated Rupert the White Sheep and Pippa the Rabbit letter cards.
1. Keeping the two card sets separate, lay Rupert the White Sheep and Pippa the Rabbit letter cards face down. Ask two children to pick a card each to select two letters to join, e.g. n to g.
2. Demonstrate on your Write and Wipe Board how to join n to g. Remind the children not to lift their pens when writing.
3. Ask two new children to pick a card and repeat the process above until all the letters have been attempted.
