General notes:

- Speed: For this level, speed is really important. Speed will be decided based on student age, the younger
the slower. Speed will also depend on students’ characteristics.
- TPR: Using TPR is really important to motivate the student and using puppets, flashcards as required will
help to motivate the student.
- Pronunciation: For ESL student, correcting pronunciation is really important and teachers should correct
during the class.
- The teacher should appraise the student or correct positively frequently.
- If the student cannot answer, the teacher can mouth then say out loud to help.
- If the student cannot concentrate, the teacher can use TPR.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PHONICS SLIDES: Please remember that spelling and phonics are different. The
letter A is spelled EI, but its phonic is /a/. To spell cat, we say kei-ei-tee, but to sound out cat, we say k-a-t.
Spelling helps students write, while phonics helps students read. We are teaching phonics here.

above 8 years old only when solving a quiz. For writing activities, please ask the student to write on a sheet
of paper or a board.
