ENGLISH ALPHABET -  26 LETTERS.

Chapter 1.
CAPITAL LETTERS= A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
SMALL LETTERS=  a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.

Capital letters and small letters together=
A=a; B=b; C=c; D=d; E=e; F=f; H=h; I=i; J=j; K=k; L=l; M=m; N=n; O=o; P=p; Q=q; R=r; S=s; T=t; U=u; V=v; W=w;  X=x; Y=y;  Z=z

Lesson One:
Simple learning and writing exercise. The writing exercise could be done  for one Alphabet for one lesson each day, this  could be fun to all students. Ask pupils to write one page on different capital letters, for example =
1) Capital letters:
A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A  (students must write one whole page)

B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B (write one whole page)

C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C (write one whole page)
Ask students to write till the letter Z.

2)Small letters:
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a (write one whole page)

b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b (write one whole page)

c c c c c c c c c cc c c c  c c c c c c c cc c c c c (write one whole page)
Ask students to write till the letter z.

Teachers must let the students know the different Capital Letters and Small Letters. It is easy for students to remember the Alphabet with the simple tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, just in the lovely tune we hear often.

Writing both Capital Letters and Small letters together. IN this way the said exercise would gives pupils better understanding.

CAPITAL LETTERS= A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
SMALL LETTERS=  a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.

After completing the said exercises Teachers could later on show students to write both the capital letter and the small letters as example here: 
A a, A a, A a, A a, A a, A a, A a, A a, A a  (write one whole page)
B b, B b. B b, B b, B b, B b, B b, B b,       (write one whole page)
Ask students to write till Z z.

Lesson Two.
Teaching and writing different letters for students to remember different Alphabet from A till Z.

The song Twinkle Little Star made into Alphabet goes like this shown here--                                                                                                                                                      
Twinkle twinkle little star =  A B C D E F G                                                                                                                                                                                                            How I wonder what you are =  H I J K L M N O P                                                                                                                                                                                                      Up above the world so high =  Q R S T U V                                                                                                                                                                                                            Like a diamond in the sky =  W X Y Z.
This simple Song should be sang as often as it can and it will be fun for the whole class to sing together. Try it often enough and Teachers will soon find out how much children love to sing and how far they will improved. By far Students who are willing and able to sing well are most apt to improve in study better than the average. They all love to sing.  

Please note: Teachers must keep special attention to students who are weak and slow at learning. Teachers must repeated the same lesson over and over again. IT could take sometimes before all students could memorize the Alphabet intelligently. Normally as always seen  it could take the whole year, but  on the whole it is better for them because they will remember the Alphabet. Do not rush on things and let them slowly learn the lesson. It takes time and efforts by both teachers and students.
Let Students memorize the Alphabet by the singing the  tune = Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star; together with Students, asked them to sing often at home
Asked them to sing at home too with their parents.

Lesson 3.
Learning, writing and remembering.
Teaching students to remember names especially their own names.
Teachers could begin asking each student their names, for example for a boy named Peter.
Teachers must let students  say simple words by teaching them to say their own names.
For example for a boy named Peter, a Teacher must asked Peter to say his name. This is a simple process to let students  remember words.
My name is Peter.

Teacher must ask students to say their names loudly. For example "My name is Peter".
This example is a good way to let students  remember simple words.  Other words that would tell about each student should be taught by talking to them and let them talk back to Teachers. In this way each student will easily know about themselves.

 For example : "My name is Peter. I am a boy. I am 3 years old." 

Or example for a girl : " My name is Mary. I am a girl. I am 3 years old."

These three sentences are good enough for students to remember their own names, age and gender. In this way each student would recognize themselves, and also about  their friends and other people.
In truth these few words are like teaching Students to talk about themselves. This is a beginning of conversation and the opening method for Students in a simple form. Furthermore it is easy to remember these three sentences.
Teachers could give more meaning to students if they have pictures of boys and girls and to tell them who they are. Another way to make them understand who they are and whether they are boys or girls are by  the clothes they are wearing. Other things are much easier for Teachers to find the simple way about their students.
Why is it important for Teachers to let their Students know who they are? The answer is that often enough children would recognise and know about themselves, where they lived (their home addresses) and who are their parents. In simple terms teachers are making them learn something about their parents, their schools and where they lived. This would help them a lot,  many times this learning and remembering methods are among the best taught in Schools. 
The simple pronoun of the words My, I could be changeable to other pronoun namely he or her, and him and her.
For example :
His name is Henry. He is a boy. He is 5 years old.

Her name is Julia. She is a girl. She is 3 yeras old.
Children could easily rmember those whom they know to be their sisters, broters and especially their parents. So we need to choose those who are very well known nand closed to them rather than a stranger. Try them all out and Teachers will be surprised how clever they are and this could help them in their remembering familiar names of people they know and things they loved.

Lesson 4
Playing Games =  remember things.

Children  love to play games and to enjoy themselves with lots of toys and playthings. This is correct way of recognizing each children like and dislike of their toys.  They do not  care what are the  toys that are given to them except that which that interest them especially the more colourful ones.
Choice of toys:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Dolls, animal-toys, games toys etc. Let each children recognize the different toys and let them choose which are their favourites.
Give the direct names for each toy they love and tell them  the different names of each toy. For example for a toy cat = This is a toy cat.                                            
In this way children would know each names for each toy which is very interesting for them. 
For example :This is a dog. This is a boy. This is a girl.  
The differnt gender could slowly be introduced for Students such as the different of names, dresses and so forth. the main focus is to make them understand themselves, and of their own parents, relatives and especially their friends. The impact would be very stimulatimg and Children would love to discover who are they by themselves. This would give self confidence and they would be very proud of themselves once they could recognize who they really are.
Play the simple name games of Boy or Girl : John is a boy, Janet is a girl. etc

Lesson 5.

Writing names and numbers.
Another good example of teaching Students to be able to spell their names is a must. Each Student need only to spell their names and and to write them on their exercise book.
