I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Recognise the 26 letters of the English alphabet from A to Z.
    • Match uppercase letters with lowercase letters.
    • Spell simple names (Mai, Nam, An) by saying the name of each letter.
    • Understand that a letter's name (e.g. B /biː/) can differ from its sound in a word (e.g. /b/ in book).
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to letter names, say them aloud, read and match letters, and spell their own name.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the letter names A–Z, use the vocabulary alphabet, letter and spell correctly, and recognise the order of letters in the alphabet.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss sit quietly, repeat the alphabet on their own and check their own answers in Exercise 8 before sharing.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to spell names, take turns and give peer feedback using simple English phrases.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss work out missing letters and the correct order of letters in the alphabet, and create their own spelling of their name in a fun activity.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise the alphabet chant and spelling regularly, and do not give up when they make mistakes.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns in groups, take care of their letter cards and finish their group tasks on time.
  • Honesty: Ss check their answers honestly and report clearly when they are not sure of a letter.

II. Resources and materials

1. Teacher

  • Alphabet chart showing uppercase and lowercase letters A–Z (from the lesson)
  • Flashcards of the 26 letters (uppercase and lowercase)
  • Projector or board to show the examples Mai → M–A–I and Nam → N–A–M
  • Worksheet No. 1 (exercises 1–8 of the lesson, with answers for teacher's use)
  • Timer and small prizes (stickers)
  • NeoEdu online lesson: neoedu.vn/learn/3/english/starter-b-the-alphabet (lesson presentation, examples and interactive exercises)

2. Pupils

  • Student's book: Starter B
  • Set of letter cards A–Z (uppercase and lowercase)
  • Mini whiteboard and marker
  • Pencil and eraser

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Alphabet Chant

Aims

Ss get ready for the lesson and recall the order of the letters A–Z through a chant.

Content

Ss chant the alphabet from A to Z together with the teacher and with a slow-fast rhythm, then point to the letters on the alphabet chart.

Expected outcomes

Ss can chant the alphabet from A to Z in the right order and point to the letters on the chart.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T greets Ss and asks: 'Good morning, class! Are you ready to learn the alphabet?' T shows the alphabet chart and says: 'Let's chant the alphabet together.'

    Pupils

    Ss greet T: 'Good morning, teacher!' Ss look at the chart and listen to the instruction.

  2. Teacher

    T chants the alphabet slowly, letter by letter, pointing to each letter. Then T asks Ss to chant faster and then in a whisper.

    Pupils

    Ss chant the alphabet with T, following the chart. Ss point to each letter with their finger.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Which letter comes after C?' 'Which letter comes before H?'

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'D.' 'G.'

  4. Teacher

    T praises Ss and says: 'Great! Now we know the order of the alphabet. Let's learn more about the letters.'

    Pupils

    Ss clap their hands and get ready for the next activity.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 10 minutes

Look, Listen and Repeat: Uppercase and Lowercase Letters

Aims

Ss recognise the 26 letters, both uppercase and lowercase, and pronounce their names correctly.

Content

T presents the alphabet chart with uppercase and lowercase letters. T models the name of each letter, with focus on B (name /biː/) and explains that the name of a letter can differ from the sound in a word (book begins with /b/). Ss repeat in chorus, then in groups A–G, H–N, O–T, U–Z.

Expected outcomes

Ss can say the names of the letters A–Z and match uppercase letters with lowercase letters, for example A–a, B–b, M–m.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the alphabet chart and says: 'Look at the big letters and the small letters. Listen and repeat after me.'

    Pupils

    Ss look at the chart and listen carefully to T.

  2. Teacher

    T says each letter name (e.g. 'A', 'B', 'C') and asks Ss to repeat. T uses the flashcards and points to the letters. T models the letter B: 'B – /biː/. B is the name of the letter, but the sound in 'book' is /b/.'
    T divides the class into four groups: A–G, H–N, O–T, U–Z. Each group repeats its letters together. Then T puts the letters together and asks Ss to say the whole alphabet.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat each letter name in chorus, then in their groups. Ss repeat the letter B after T and notice the difference between its name and its sound in book.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Which letter is the lowercase of G?' (Ss answer: 'g'.) T shows the flashcards with the uppercase G and asks Ss to find the lowercase letter. T points out that lowercase l and uppercase I can look similar in some fonts, so we check the context.

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'g.' Ss look at the cards and point to the correct lowercase letter. Some Ss say: 'I and l look the same. We check the word.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'There are 26 letters from A to Z. Each letter has an uppercase and a lowercase form. The name of a letter is used for spelling, and the sound in a word can be different.' T asks Ss to read the key points aloud.

    Pupils

    Ss read the summary aloud in chorus and nod to show they understand.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Listen, Point and Say: Spelling Names

Aims

Ss learn how to spell simple names by saying the name of each letter in order.

Content

T models spelling the names Mai and Nam: Mai → M–A–I; Nam → N–A–M. Ss practise spelling in pairs. They spell the names of their classmates or the name An (A–N). T reminds Ss that uppercase letters can be used when they list letter names.

Expected outcomes

Ss can spell the names Mai, Nam and An in English and say each letter name clearly.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes Mai and Nam on the board and says: 'Look at the names. Listen and point to the letters as I spell.'

    Pupils

    Ss look at the board and listen to T.

  2. Teacher

    T spells: 'M–A–I. Mai.' and 'N–A–M. Nam.' T asks Ss to spell with T. Then T asks pairs to point to letter cards and spell the names: one student says the letters, the other points to the cards.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, point to the letter cards and say: 'M–A–I, Mai.' 'N–A–M, Nam.' Pairs take turns spelling Mai, Nam and An.

  3. Teacher

    T asks some pairs to spell in front of the class. T asks: 'How do you spell An?'

    Pupils

    Pairs stand up and spell: 'A–N, An.' Other Ss listen and check.

  4. Teacher

    T gives feedback and says: 'Well done! Remember: say the name of each letter in the right order when you spell.'

    Pupils

    Ss clap for their friends and repeat the spelling rule.

Activity 3: Practice · 7 minutes

Let's Play: Letter Matching and Missing Letters

Aims

Ss practise recognising letters, matching uppercase with lowercase letters, finding missing letters and ordering letters in the alphabet.

Content

Ss do Worksheet No. 1 in pairs (exercises 1–7). T reads Exercise 1 aloud (the letter names are heard, Ss choose the letter). Then Ss play a 'Missing Letter' game with the letter cards: T puts cards in a row and hides one, Ss say the missing letter.
Answers (for T's check):

  1. B (name /biː/).
  2. B (g is the lowercase of G).
  3. A–a; M–m; N–n; T–t.
  4. D (after C comes D).
  5. H → J → L → N.
  6. C (M–A–I).
  7. Z (Z is the last letter).
  8. (Individual task) Ss spell their own name or the name An and write three pairs of uppercase–lowercase letters, for example A–a, B–b, C–c. Teacher checks: correct order of letters (1 point), three matching pairs (1 point), letter names said clearly (1 point).

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet No. 1 with the correct answers: 1-B; 2-B; 3-A–a, M–m, N–n, T–t; 4-D; 5-H→J→L→N; 6-C (M–A–I); 7-Z; 8-spelling of own name or An with three uppercase–lowercase pairs.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T gives out Worksheet No. 1 and says: 'Work in pairs. Read the questions carefully. You have 5 minutes.' T explains the 'Missing Letter' game with the letter cards.

    Pupils

    Ss sit in pairs, read the worksheet and ask T if they do not understand the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around, helps pairs and checks their answers. T reads Exercise 1 aloud: 'Listen to the letter name and choose: A. D; B. B; C. P.'

    Pupils

    Ss listen and choose answer B. Pairs work on Exercises 2–8. In the Missing Letter game, Ss say: 'D' (after C) and 'Z' (after Y).

  3. Teacher

    T asks pairs to report answers: 'Exercise 3, please.' 'Exercise 5, please.' T checks answers with the class and corrects mistakes.

    Pupils

    Pairs report: 'A–a, M–m, N–n, T–t.' 'H, J, L, N.' Ss check their own answers and correct mistakes.

  4. Teacher

    T summarises and says: 'Good job! Now you know how to match letters, find the order and spell names.'

    Pupils

    Ss clap and write the correct answers on their worksheet.

Activity 4: Application · 5 minutes

Fun Corner: Spell Your Name and Wrap-up

Aims

Ss use the alphabet in a real-life task: spelling their own name and their friends' names, and review the lesson.

Content

Ss play a 'Spell and Guess' game in groups of four. One student spells his or her name with letter cards, and the others guess the name. Then T reviews the lesson with a quick quiz. At home, Ss spell their family members' names in English and practise the alphabet with the NeoEdu interactive exercises.

Expected outcomes

Ss can spell their own names and the names of their friends in English, and say the alphabet from A to Z.

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Now it's your turn. In your group, one student spells his or her name with letter cards. The others guess the name.'

    Pupils

    Ss form groups of four and listen to the game rules.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around and helps groups. T asks: 'How do you spell your name?' T encourages Ss to use the words spell and letter.

    Pupils

    Ss take turns spelling their names: 'L–I–N–H, Linh.' Other Ss guess: 'Linh!'

  3. Teacher

    T asks a few Ss to spell their names in front of the class. T asks the class: 'What is the last letter in the alphabet?' (Ss answer: 'Z.')

    Pupils

    Some Ss spell their names in front of the class. Ss answer: 'Z.'

  4. Teacher

    T praises the class and gives homework: 'Spell your family names at home and practise the NeoEdu exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/3/english/starter-b-the-alphabet.' T says goodbye: 'See you next lesson!'
