MATERIAL OVERVIEW:

A set of wooden tablets showing the five vowels in blue and the twenty consonants in red.

PRESENTATION:

invite the child to go and wash their hands, then sit down at a table with them. (You can offer them a bowl filled with water in which to dip their fingers).
say a word to them, for example “tulip”, and ask them what they hear. “Tu”, “u”. “Would you like me to show you what shape the -u- has?”
take out the tablet showing the “u”, run your finger over the letter then say “u”. Invite the child to touch it too and to say “u”. Do it a second time then ask if they know other words with the “u” sound. It is important that the child associates the movement with the sound.
choose another word containing, for example, the “a” sound. Take out the “a” tablet and have the child touch it, ask them if they know other words, tell them some if they cannot find any.
have them touch the “u” again while saying “u”, then the “a” while saying “a”.
then ask the child what they would like to be shown, ask them to say a word. From this word, isolate the first consonant heard, for example the “t”. Take out the tablet and have the child touch the letter.
go back to the “u”, touch it, have the child touch it and say a word starting with “u”. Then go back to the “a”, touch it, have the child touch it and say a word starting with “a”. Do the same for the “t”.

Do a three-period lesson:

place the three letters on the table and ask the child to touch the “u”, the “a” and the “t”. move the letters then ask the child again to touch each letter. Then ask them to point to each of the letters. Mix them up and ask the same question again. Then point to a letter and ask its name. Proceed this way for all three.

Pair these letters with a small tray that you will have covered with golden adhesive. Cover it with very fine sand and invite the child to draw the letter.
