First, discover whether the student is unable to read these words because he doesn’t know the sounds represented by the letters or because he can’t blend those sounds together to make words, or both. One by one, print all 12 letters on the dry-erase board and ask the student to say the most common sound represented by each letter. The first 12 letters are: ‘b’, ‘a’, ‘c’, ‘t’, ‘i’, ‘s’, ‘m’,‘h’, ‘r’,‘o’, ‘p’, and ‘g’.  \n􀁸 If the student knows the most common sounds represented by all 12 letters, proceed to Lesson 2.  \nWHAT THIS LESSON TEACHES  \nThis lesson will give the student practice on the first 12 letters until he knows them all thoroughly and automatically.  \nTEACHING THE LESSON  \nSpend a maximum of five minutes on each activity, making an effort to keep the sessions varied and fast-paced.  \n􀀗  FLASHCARDS Go through the deck of 12 Simple Code flashcards and ask the student to say the sound represented by the letter on each card. He should not be expected to be able to read the words on the flashcards, just know the most common sound represented by each letter. If the student finds it hard to remember the sounds of these letters, try to devise ways to attach them to the Velcro in his brain. For example, the letter ‘b’ looks like a bat with a ball beside it. The letter‘s’ looks like a wiggly snake and makes a hissing sound. The letter ‘o’ looks like someone’s mouth just before the doctor sticks a tongue depressor into it and asks him to say “ahhhh”. Perhaps his name contains some of the sounds. You might want to increase your student’s motivation by using a progress graph.  \n􀁵  TREASURE HUNT Lay the 12 flashcards along a path through your house and challenge the student to follow the trail to the end where he will find a small treat, such as a nickel. To advance, he must say the sound for each card. Extra interest can be added by hiding a Froot Loop under some of the flashcards.  \n􀀗  FLASHCARDS Ask the student’s father or older sibling to practise the sounds with him for a few minutes.  \n􀁵  BINGO Use the 12 flashcard letters and Pages 2 and 3 of the Bingo file.  \n􀀇  LETTER FORMATION Ask the student to print the 12 letters, upper-and lower-case, saying their sounds out loud as he prints the corresponding letter. The letters should always travel from top to bottom and from left to right.  \n􀀗  FLASHCARDS Ask the student to become the teach","cbCais46zaDZGEyA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais46zaDZGEyA","pdf",550791,42,"English","# Lesson 1 The first 12 Simple Code letters\n## Who needs this lesson\n## What this lesson teaches\n## Teaching the lesson\n## Testing mastery\n# Lesson 2 Blending of 12 Sounds\n## Who needs this lesson\n## What this lesson teaches\n## Teaching the lesson","[{\"question\":\"How is Lesson 1 for students who cannot read the diagnostic words determined?\",\"answer\":\"First, determine whether the student lacks knowledge of the letter sounds, cannot blend those sounds into words, or both, based on the inability to read the five words on the first line of Part 1.\"},{\"question\":\"What activities are used to practice the first 12 Simple Code letters in Lesson 1?\",\"answer\":\"Lesson 1 uses flashcards, a treasure hunt, father/older sibling practice, bingo, letter formation with upper- and lower-case, and a role-reversal activity where the student teaches the sounds.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after the student masters the first 12 sounds in Lesson 1?\",\"answer\":\"The teacher prints a set of test words (mit, sog, bic, rab, hap).
