Differentiation

For pupils who find it challenging, the teacher will provide individual attention, use more visual aids like larger letter cards, and encourage peer support. For advanced pupils, the teacher will ask them to form simple words using the learned letters or identify letters in short Yoruba sentences.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Teachers should ensure active participation from all pupils, especially during pronunciation drills. Use positive reinforcement to encourage pupils. Regularly check pupils’ notebooks for writing practice. The use of clear and audible pronunciation is very important for this lesson.
