Starter Unit 1 Hello Section 2 Pronunciation
Content analysis
What
This unit centers on the sounds of the 26 English letters. In Activity 1, students listen to a recording while looking at pictures, then identify and name letters on a computer keyboard. Activity 2 involves grouping letters with identical vowel sounds (e.g., A, J, K share the sound /e /). Activity 3 introduces abbreviations formed by the initials of words, and students complete an image-text matching task to link these abbreviations with their meanings. Activity 4 encourages students to sing the classic Alphabet Song to learn or review letter sounds.
Why
Activity 1 uses the familiar computer keyboard to arouse interest, helping students associate letters with real-life tools. Activity 2 fosters phonemic awareness by demonstrating how letters share vowel sounds (e.g., B, C, D all have the sound /i /). Activity 3 aims to teach the meaning and pronunciation of abbreviations. Activity 4 makes learning enjoyable and memorable through music.
How
Employ listening, speaking, and singing to engage students actively, involving their eyes, ears, and voices. First, students identify letters on a keyboard to build basic familiarity. Then, they learn the sounds of all 26 letters and group them by shared vowel sounds (such as A, J, K) to grasp pronunciation patterns. Next, they match letter-based abbreviations to pictures and meanings, strengthening the connection between letters and real-life applications. Finally, they sing the Alphabet Song to enhance fun and participation in learning!
Learning Objectives

Procedures
Teaching Activities Learning Activities Purposes
Step 1 Lead in Play a game: What’s missing In the game, students quickly shout the missing letters in familiar words. To guide students to practice and correct letter sounds through fun games.
Step 2 Listen and find the letters 1. Look and think Lead students to look at the keyboard carefully and ask: What order are the 26 letters in 2. Listen and locate Read some letters aloud and ask students to find them on the keyboard. (Activity 1) 3. Ask and answer Guide students to practice finding letters on the keyboard in pairs. Students learn the different parts of a keyboard: letter keys, number keys and function keys. Students observe a computer keyboard and identify the order of the 26 English letters. Students listen to and find letters on the keyboard as quickly as possible. Pair Work: One student says a random letter; the other finds it on the keyboard image and responds, then switches roles. SA: Where is C SB: C is here. Where is G SA: G is here. To guide students to study the computer keyboard, thereby mastering the pronunciation of all 26 letters and practicing writing uppercase letters. To encourage students to practice accurate pronunciation and quick recognition of all 26 letters.
Step 3 Listen and find sound patterns 1. Identify the sounds in letters Ask students the following questions. (1) How many sounds does the letter“C”have (2) What sounds does it have 2. Show how to pronounce vowels Write the vowel symbols (e.g., /e /, /i /) from Activity 2 on the blackboard and guide students to practice their accurate pronunciation. 3. Sort letters by vowel sounds (1) Listen and repeat ( Activity 2) (2) Play a game Pick up a letter card, ask students to say its sound and group the letter cards by shared vowels. (3) Ask and answer Ask students: Which letters have the sound /e/ Which letters have the same sound as the letter “K” Students practice breaking down letter sounds. (1) It has two sounds. (2) It has /s/ and /i:/. Students practice pronouncing in groups to master the pronunciation of vowels. After hearing the recording, students read the 26 letters aloud by grouping them with shared vowel sounds. Students match letters to their vowel sounds on the board and stick them below the correct symbol. Students work in pairs: Think about the questions and find rules. To guide students to break down letter sounds into parts, thereby helping them read and remember words more effectively. To help students group letters with shared vowel sounds, laying a foundation for learning pronunciation rules. To guide students to sort letters according to vowel sounds and read them aloud as a group. To guide students to group letters by shared vowel sounds, and help them discover pronunciation rules, thereby strengthening their phonemic awareness.
Step 4 Listen and find abbreviations (Activity 3) 1. Look and talk Ask students: What’s in each picture 2. Listen and match 3. Learn the meanings of abbreviations 4. Read the abbreviations aloud. Students look at the pictures and discuss in groups what they represent. Students match the abbreviations to pictures.
Students learn about the Chinese meanings of the abbreviations. Students pronounce the abbreviations correctly and loudly. To guide students to learn letters through abbreviations, encourage them to link letters with real-life situations, making learning interactive and fun.
Step 5 Listen and sing: ABC Song Play the video of ABC Song and ask students to sing along with it. Students sing along the song and try to remember letter sounds and shapes. To have students sing and learn letters through fun video actions.
Step 6 Homework Must-do Find three examples of the usage of alphabetical order in real life. Choose-to-do Find three examples of abbreviations in real life. Write them down or take pictures. To guide students to seek out real-life examples of things arranged in alphabetical order or numbered lists. To broaden students’ horizons and spark their interest in learning through engaging topics and real-world connections.
