HW could be to go through both pages with a parents, older sibling, granny and get a signature at the bottom of page 4 to say this has been done.

a These words are the phonic hooks to embed the sound/written associations in the learners’ long-term memories. We use physical gestures, the picture and the sound of the words to fix the letter sounds of Spanish as the first step in learning the language. We will go through the gestures all together before we do this lesson! NB: on the SOW most of the words, if nouns, are presented with the indefnite article (as we will start with un/una before going on to el/la) BUT where it is just more logical to say ‘the’ I have put the definite article in – so el universo is an example of that. Please check on the SOW for the articles I’ve used. We are not focusing on the article in these few lessons, so they will be learning these passively for the moment. araña

They can either listen to the word you say (in this case the name of 6 Mr Men) and try first to write down what they hear and then cross off the squares OR they can use the squares straightaway to build the words up. The answers are on the next slide and then there is a further slide with the pictures again for them to reinforce further by saying the names, either in pairs or whole class. 6.
