Curriculum Planning
Planning Your Curriculum
✦ Step back and get an overview of the school year’s schedule of activities.
✦ Create loose timelines and set your learning goals.
✦ Remember that your main objective, which is to foster learning, supersedes the importance of watching the clock. You must balance the two priorities of sticking to the schedule and honoring your learning goals.
Before School Starts
✦ Examine the learning competencies in your Restructured Basic Education Curriculum (RBEC).
✦ Look at the number of units in your textbooks or curriculum materials and determine how much time to allow for each unit over the course of the year.
✦ Count the number of chapters within each unit, merging those units that are identical, and determine how much time you can spend on each. Project the dates when you will probably begin a new chapter in the first unit.
✦ Determine how much time to allot for the lessons that will cover the contents.
✦ Jot down the learning activities you will plan within a sample day and within a sample week.
At the End of the First Week
✦ After the first few days of school, you may feelbetter able to estimate the length of time needed to complete the activities in your lesson plans. Assess whether you can stay on target given the time you allocated for each chapter.
✦ Factor in daily activities and special events as you prepare for each new week. Record in your plan book any upcoming school activities or other interruptions you should anticipate.
At the End of the First Unit
✦ Assess the effectiveness of your timeline again. Map out the chapters for the entire semester and the start dates in your plan book.
At the End of the First Semester
✦ Complete the process for the remainder of the year, noting down the start dates for each chapter.
✦ You could team up with a co-teacher to develop the schedule; you could discuss weight priorities, and check which of the competencies have not been sufficiently covered and which ones have been over studied.

SPELLING GAMES FOR CHILDREN
The ability to spell well is a sign of literacy. Spelling is a skill of constructing words rather than memorizing them. A good speller predicts how a word is spelled based on knowledge of what is probable in English. Sadly, spelling is one of the most neglected subjects of study.
Spelling instruction is reinforced through activities that:
A worthwhile spelling program includes the following characteristics:
Immediate reinforcement, specifically self-correction, is essential. In fact, self-correction is the single greatest factor in learning to spell.
Enhancing spelling instruction with games sparks students’ interest. Although games do not involve real-world reading and writing, they serve to focus the players’ attention on the structure of words. This, in turn, helps to create visual images of the words, which students will then use as they read and write. Playing games fosters a positive attitude towards spelling, which is critical to improving spelling skills.

The Stages of Preparing Your Letter
Structure your letter around the following:
1. Greeting
III. Writing the Letter
Writing your letter should be easy as ABC: Accurate, Brief, and Clear.
1. Accurate
Make sure you have the correct number of copies.

Writing the letters A to Z may seem difficult to teach among preschool children, but with constant practice and with the correct teaching strategy, this skill will soon be easily assimilated. An effective teacher must include engaging, multisensory activities to help children learn to recognize and write each letter from A to Z correctly—and with ease and fun!
With creative, engaging, hands-on activities, children will easily remember the shape of each letter as they develop into writers and readers.
How Children Learn Letter Formation
Teaching to All Learning Styles
Working with Learning Challenges
Disabilities that Affect Letter Formation
Letter-practice Procedures
The following steps are a guide to introducing children to each letter of the alphabet:
Commonly Confused Letter Pairs
Children recognize letters by visually analyzing the shape and orientation of each letter. However, with so many similarities between letters, it is common even for grade-schoolers to confuse certain letters.
Use the following visual and auditory hints to help children discriminate between these letter pairs:
A vs. O Like an apple, A has a stem. Like an orange, O does not.
B vs. D Have the children hold their hands in front of them and form a B with their left hand and a D with their right. Have them move their hands together and help them see the “bed.”
B vs. H B has a ball that bounces; H has two legs that hop.
C vs. O C’s mouth is open to eat a cookie. O is closed, like the shape of an orange.
D vs. P D has a tail that stays above water, like a duck. P has a round peso and a tail that goes down, reaching down to put a peso in your pocket.
P vs. Q P comes right before Q in the alphabet; so the bat comes before the ball on P, and the bat comes after the ball on Q.
V vs. Y Y is just like V, but it has a piece of yarn hanging down.
C vs. G C is wide open, but G has a little Gate, or Garage, at its opening.
I vs. J J looks like I, but the bottom part of J Jumps up a little.
M vs. W M looks like two Mountains. W looks like Waves in the Water.
P vs. R P and R look the same, but R has a Ramp on which you can Race down.
U vs. V U is the cUp; V is the Vase.
Alphabet Activities
Index Cards
Index cards are a great resource for letter-recognition activities. Make and laminate a set of 26 cards, one for each letter.
Skywriting
Ask one child to stand with his or her back to the group. Have the child trace a large letter in the air with his or her finger while his or her classmates try to guess the letter. Invite the children to take turns “skywriting” letters.
Mystery Bag Guessing Game
Here’s a fun way to introduce each letter. Write the letter on a smooth piece of paper using plain school glue. When the glue dries, put the paper in a “mystery bag.” Have the children put their hands in the bag to feel the paper with their fingers and have them try to guess the letter.
Letter-by-letter Activities
Duck Walk
Children form the letter Dd with their bodies and distinguish between upper-and lowercase letters.
Jumping Jack J’s
Children respond physically to the shapes of letters and rapidly discriminate between similar letters.
Karate Kicks
Children use their whole bodies to form the letter Kk.
The L’s are Lost
Children examine the classroom environment for the lines of an L.
