This is the Big Day, the very last letter, so make a big fuss! In English words, the letter q is always followed by a u, and the two letters together say kw; or you can think of the q as saying k, and the u as its deep sound (in pull). This works for getting the position of the lips etc. in the right place.

 

Have the pupil practice writing the letter q, u, i, l, and t, first, using the dot to dot guide above, then on lined paper.

 

Set out the alphabet card, and add q, making 26 letters.

 

Make the words quiz quick remind that the KW sound has the two letters QU.

 

Get the pupil to sound the sounds of the new words.

 

Choose Activities from the Contents page.

 

From now on you can use the Bingo game and the ‘Is It’ booklet or cards.

 

It sounds silly to say that if someone learns quickly, he will learn more quickly! But if too much time elapses (3‑4 days) between one lesson and the next, the learning fades. But beyond that, if someone learns quickly, he is aware of his progress and that is an incentive. If the learning is slow, the pupil is not aware of progress and feels he is just plodding on without getting anywhere. An hour a day for 10 days gives more progress than the same 10 hours spread over 20 days.
