Teacher
T says: 'Let's count and say the letters together! Listen and repeat after me.' T shows number cards 1 to 5 one by one and models each word: one, two, three, four, five.
Pupils
Ss look at the cards, listen and repeat the words in chorus.
Teacher
T shows number cards 6 to 10, then letter cards A to F. T asks: 'What is this?' and points to card C.
Pupils
Ss answer in chorus: 'Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.' Then: 'C.' Some Ss may say 'see' for C; T models the letter name clearly.
Teacher
T praises the class and asks: 'Which number was the hardest to say?'
Pupils
Ss answer, for example: 'Eight' or 'Six'. Ss repeat the hard word once more.
