「I Can Read My ABCs: インタラクティブで楽しい方法でアルファベットを学ぼう!」

This is a class that begins by the teacher showing the letter of the alphabet, and having students repeat each letter after the teacher. Students will learn by repetition, recognition, and by auditory and tactile stimulation by touching and circling the letters (e.g. differentiating uppercase from lowercase). Students will be able to use interactive functions of Zoom, such as drawing, writing, and using the whiteboard. To build language skills and introduce fun activities, the teacher will have two exercises: 

1) Having students repeat six words that start with the letter.  
2) The teacher reads the rhyming sentence related to the picture and letter being taught. 

The wrap-up for the lesson is done by the teacher showing the letter and asking students to repeat it and give a word that starts with the letter.  This is for reinforcement and understanding. Each class is 30 minutes, and students will meet twice per week for 3 weeks. There will also be exercise in-between where students will fill in the blanks for the alphabet letters covered at a certain point.
