Teacher guides the students to spell each sound in the word. Teacher asks for the first sound heard when you say hunting . Students give the sound. The teacher then asks the students what letter makes that sound. As the students say the letter for the sound, the teacher writes the letter on the chalkboard and the students write the letter in their word book until the word is spelled.
Students then draw a picture to correspond to the word.
This practice develops letter and sound recognition. Teacher puts the students' pictures into a slideshow presentation using a program such as Kid Pix or Power Point. Each student tells a sentence about his picture as the slide is played. If you don't know how to do this, ask the computer teacher. It is not too complicated and the students will learn to recognize the word on each slide, plus remember facts about Indian life from viewing their slideshow over and over.
