• Whiteboard or paper
• Dry erase marker or pen

No prior knowledge or preparation is required for this lesson.

Activities

1. Warm-up: Sing the Alphabet Song together.
2. Show the alphabet flashcards one by one, out of order. Ask the student to identify each letter as you show them.
3. Write a jumbled sequence of 5 letters on the whiteboard or paper. Ask the student to rearrange the letters to form a word. Provide guidance and support as needed.
4. Repeat step 3 with different jumbled sequences of letters, gradually increasing the difficulty.
5. Play a game of "Letter Scramble": Write a word on the whiteboard or paper, but scramble the letters. The student needs to unscramble the letters and identify the word.
