This activity enables CPs to experience the sounds of letters A-Z in a fun and non-threatening manner. It is an example of a creative drill.
Activity 2 Modeling of 44 sounds (10 mins)
ProcedureAssociating the sounds with the phonetic symbols:1. Distribute Appendix 1 and get CPs to be ready with a coloured pencil each and KSSR year 1 English Language Text Book and Module Book 1.2. Go through the vowel sounds first (both short and long vowels), then the diphthongs and the consonants (both voiced and voiceless). 3. Tell CPs to colour the symbol not the picture.4. Discuss about short vowels and long vowels.5. Tell CPs that this category of sound (a combination of two vowels sound is called the diphthong. 6. Explain to CPs that: Voiced consonants use the voice. An easy test is by putting your finger on your throat. If you feel a vibration the consonant is voiced. Voiceless consonants do not use the voice. Once again, you can test if a consonant is voiceless by putting your finger on your throat. You will feel no vibration in your throat, just a short explosion of air as you pronounce.
