Look at the pictures with the kids, say:

---

Can you show me the beginning of the train? Can you show me the end of the train? Where is the middle of the train?

---

The next picture is about a line of people, at a bus stop. Look. This lady is at the beginning of the line[point]. Who's at the end? Can you find somebody in the middle of the line?

---

Now we've got a line of traffic waiting at the lights. Can you show me what's at the beginning of the line? What's at the end? And what's in the middle?

---

Here's a boy going along the road. There's a row of houses with numbers 1,2,3,4,5. Which house is at the end of the road? Which house is at the beginning of the road? Which house is in the middle?

不知為何, 無法新增另一張圖卡,所以我把另一張圖卡放在相簿裏.以上的活動是在引導孩子beginning/middle/ending 的觀念,根據我的經驗,大部份的孩子都很容易了解首尾音,但是中間音的概念對很多孩子來說有些挑戰.

以上的活動用很簡易的方法帶入phonics的基本觀念,至於要怎麼進入英語的結構,請看續集...haha
