Development
Activity 1
· Write a few sentences on the board (ensure the words are in the student’ vocabulary
· Read them once with proper stress and intonation, pausing after each sentence, such as
o This is a fat cat.
o Amana has a dog.
o He is a boy.
· Ask students to repeat each sentence after you.
· Ask them to read these sentences on their own in the same order in which they are written.
· Point at any sentence on the board and ask students to read it.
· Remind the students that words combine to make a sentence.
· Remove one word from the sentence and ask the students, ‘Does the sentence make sense now?’
· Jumble up the sentences e.g. Cat is this a.
· Now ask the students does it make sense? (Refer back to the definition of the sentence)
· Ask them to open the textbook and identify the pattern of sentences, it begins with a capital letter and ends on a full stop.
· Each sentence has a verb in it.
Activity 2

I. This is an apple.
II. I drink milk.
III. He reads a book.
· Tell them that we show this stop by putting a little dot, called a full stop.
· Write sentences with correct capitalization of first letter of the sentence and a full stop at the end for students to see.
Activity 3
· Write sentences on the board without capitalizing the first letter of the sentence and a full stop at its end.
