| This stage consists of four phases: |
- Activity added |
|
|
| 1 - “I am going to introduce two sounds /p/ and /v/, tell me what is the difference between them? Which one is thin and which one is thick?” |
|
|
|
| 2 - “Next, you will hear a sequence of three sounds, after hearing them, repeat the sequence in order and write the letters corresponding to that sequence. Example: FFG - VVP”. |
|
|
|
| 3 - “I will introduce two more sounds /b/ and /f/, tell me what is the difference between them? Which one is thin and which one is thick?” |
|
|
|
| 4 - “Again, you will hear a sequence of three sounds, but now two new sounds will be inserted. After hearing them repeat the sequence in order and write the letters corresponding to this sequence. Example: BPF or VFP”. |
|
| Session 3 - change in an activity |
