Graduation Stage

Materials to prepare

• Connect your computer to the classroom screen and speakers. Check sound before children arrive. Internet is needed.
• Preview the activity and writing sheets. Print enough for your group, prepare word cards and an exit check, and keep the teacher guide nearby. Cut cards and print the matching spaces at the same scale.
• Prepare word cards, pencils and book pages. An adult handles cutting and fastening. Play-sheet page 2 is the cover, page 3 is a word page, page 4 is optional and page 5 is a separate participation certificate. A loose page can be shared too.
• Keep the lesson slides ready if a video does not play. Read the English notes and model the action yourself.

3. 9–14 min

   3. Bubble Theater

4. 14–24 min

   4. Reading Warm-up

   Offer familiar cards: dad, dog, hat, sun, bus and top. Let each child choose one or two. Model read and book as whole words; their vowel pairs are not a test of previously taught single-letter sounds.

   Teaching notes

   Say

   Say read and book with me. Now try the word cards.

   Look for

   Listen for children reading a familiar word from its card.

   If difficult

   Read one whole word aloud and let children echo it.

5. 24–32 min

   5. My First Reading Book

   Use play-sheet pages 2 and 3 for a cover and one word page; page 4 is optional. Children draw and write or place a chosen word card. An adult fastens the left edge in page order. Keep the certificate separate.

   Teaching notes

   Say

   Let's finish your book. Complete one page at a time.

   Look for

   Watch for children completing the current page's task.

   Play the Celebration chant and model its words for children to follow.

   Teaching notes

   Say

   Let's chant and celebrate together.

   Look for

   Listen for children joining a familiar part of the chant.

   If difficult

   Model one short part slowly for children to repeat.

7. 37–43 min

   7. Presentation

   Let children show one word page to a partner or the teacher. Wait, then model if needed. Presenting to the whole class is optional; a child may point or read together.

   Teaching notes

   Say

   Show your book. Read one word or one page.

   Look for

   Listen for children reading a chosen word from their book.

   If difficult

   Read one chosen word together while the child presents the book.

8. 43–45 min

   8. Goodbye & Certificate

   Give the participation certificate separately from the book. Write the chosen word and any help on the teacher note; do not call it a reading-level certificate. Ask families to share one page at home.

   Teaching notes

   Say

   Read your book at home with your family. Great work, and goodbye!

   Look for

   Listen for children returning the goodbye.

   If difficult

   Show the book while explaining that children can share it at home.
