Alphabet

Hello again boys and girls. You have been working with the alphabet on classroom and the follow sheet will help you to remind how to say some of your favorite word, such as apple, elephant, island (pronounced without s, don't forget this), and some more. Enjoy reading these words and repeating them aloud. Then write some of them.
Now sing this song:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G
H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P
Q - R - S - T - U and V,
W - X - Y and Z
Now I know my A - B - C's
Next time won't you sing with me?

Level: 4th course of Primary School

Teachers: Children have learnt to pronunce different words and they can discriminate some sounds but it's important to them to learnt the English alphabet once and for all. In book texts suitables for this lever you are going to find diferent activities to work English alphabet, but I want to share this sheet where students can associate an alphabet letter to a word. Because some of students can't still distinguish very well the phonetic symbols, they are not written on the sheet, and your help in pronunciation it will be necesary in order they can link the different words to the sound as you pronounce them. In this activity we are practing Listening and Reading. After that, one idea could be you let them to work in couples and, meanwhile one of the students is reading a word the other try to write down in a paper, making a small competition. We are practising in this activity Speaking and Writing The student who has written more word correcly is the winner. Make this with few words because they would get bored of the activity.

One an excellent idea is use the book Dr. Seuss's ABC. This is a good book for lower levels but it's also very useful for this 4 th Primary level. In this book, student have to read different rhymes of the letter they are pronouncing. I see you one example in the following picture:
