1. Cut out all the 10 shapes of metal insets on tough chart paper and
make creative designs of all levels as describes in the book. Paste
the inset papers carrying your designs on your assignment.
Q2. Explain how word building is, introduced to children using movable
alphabet and alphabet boxes at pink, blue and green levels LARGE
MOVABLE ALPHBETS (LMA):
Exercise-1:
Material:
A large box with 28 compartments, one for each letter of the
alphabet and
two extra which can be used for the dots of the 'i's" and "j's."
Stiff cutout of letters made of plastic.
Vowels are blue and consonants are red.
Script letters are to familiarize the child to print.
Presentation:
The teacher spreads a mat on the floor. She invites 3 to 4 children.
She opens the
box of large movable alphabets. She put the lid under the box. She
allow the
children to observe the alphabets for a minute. In order to
familiarize them with
the material, she pronounces alphabets by sound. "Can someone
find ‘a’?" "Put 'e'
on the mat." "Find 'g.'" Each time the teacher calls a letter, all the
children start
looking for it until someone finds it and place it on the mat. She
repeats this
exercise for all the alphabets make sure all the children participate.
Exercise-2: Word building with Large Movable Alphabet
Material:
Green felt mat.
Box of large movable alphabets.
Basket with objects whose names are three lettered.
A notebook for tracing the words.
A pencil and a clipboard.
Presentation:
The teacher Spread the mat and place all the material with help of
children on it.
She takes an object from the basket for example a car. If the child
identify the name
of the object, she places it on the mat. She then asks the child about
the first sound
produced by taking its name like “c” in car. She stresses on the first
sound until the
child identifies it. She then ask the child to get the alphabet from the
LMA box. She
repeat the same exercise with all the alphabets in the word and
places them in
front of that object. She then do this for all the objects in the basket
so the child
learn to make words by hearing the sounds. She allow the child to
practice on his
own. She then instruct the child to trace each word in the notebook.
PINK LEVEL WORD WORK:
At this level, word activities involve three-lettered CVC (consonant-
vowelconsonant) and two lettered phonetic words. All the alphabets
used in this level
should give their basic sound.
Exercise-1:
Material:
LMA box, pink color-coded boxes, objects having three lettered
names, a mat, small
writing booklet and pencil.
Presentation:
The teacher places the LMA box and objects on the mat. She takes
out the objects
one by one pronounces their names, takes out the required
alphabets and
construct the words. She involves the child by asking the sounds of
letters and allow
them to spell the words. After all the words are, built the child is,
asked to trace
them in his notebook.
Exercise-2:
Material:
Material is same as for exercise 1. Only pictures are, used instead of
objects.
Presentation:
This exercise is same as exercise 1 except the teacher uses pictures
instead of
objects.
Pink level blending (beginning phonetic readingExercise-1:
Material:
Pink color-coded box, containing objects having three lettered
names. Words
including middle level graphemes can be included such as ball, moon
etc. name
cards of all the objects printed on light pink paper card or laminated

name cards one by
one, placing them in front of the child, pronouncing individual letters

repeated or mixture
of three lettered words.
Presentation:
The teacher places the lists in front of the child. She asks him to
blends the sounds
of each alphabet silently and speak the whole word loudly.
Exercise-6:
Material:

contains a threelettered word on one side. A tray, small writing
booklet and a pencil.
Presentation:
At first, the teacher opens the booklet and turn the pages one by

child to read the words on each page. Then she invites the child to
hold the bookletand turn the pages himself. She then encourage the
child to write words he has
read.
Exercise-7:
Material:

After the child successfully completes the pink and blue level he is,
introduced to
the green level, which includes phonograms. In this level, phonetic
words with one
phonogram are used. For example, while teaching the phonogram
“sh” the teacher
uses brush, shell, shrub, fish etc. Rarely used phonograms are
introduced to the
child when he comes across them therefore no special material is
needed.

corresponding picture. The child can always refer to the lid for the
phonogram
during the exercise.

List of green cards containing words where the phonogram is in red
and rest of the
alphabets are in black. A picture of one word is, placed beside its
name card at the
top of the list.
Presentation:
The teacher introduces the phonogram to the child. She then tells
the sound of the
phonogram in the picture and first word as a clue. She asks the child

rest of the words pronouncing the phonogram and copy the words
on a paper. Exercise-3:

An envelope, containing list of graphemes representing one sound.
Presentation:
The teacher shows the envelope to the child and tells him that all the
letters sound
the same. She then takes out the list and asks him to read. She then
encourages
him to read all the lists.
Exercise 4:

Strips with pictures on one side and sentences with words containing
phonogram
on the other.

The teacher shows the strips to the child and encourages him to read
them loudly.
Exercise 5:
Material:
Separate booklets for every phonogram written on their cover.
Presentation:
Shows booklets to the child one at a time introduce him to the
phonogram and ask
the child to read the words inside the booklet.
Green level segmentation Exercise:

thephonogram box and asks the child to construct the word for that
picture using the
alphabets. She ask the child to use red color alphabets for the
