This lesson is designed to introduce learners to the basics of letter recognition and phonemic awareness. It aims to help students understand the connection between letters of the alphabet and their corresponding sounds, laying a foundation for reading and writing. Through engaging activities and interactive exercises, students will:

1. Recognize and Identify Letters: Learn to identify both uppercase and lowercase letters and associate each letter with its name.

2. Explore Letter Sounds: Develop an understanding of the sounds each letter makes, focusing on the beginning sounds of words (e.g., A = /æ/ as in apple, B = /b/ as in bat).

3. Build Letter-Sound Relationships: Understand how individual sounds correspond to letters, including consonant and vowel sounds.

4. Practice Blending Sounds into Words: Learn how to blend individual sounds to form simple CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words (e.g., cat, dog).

5. Create Simple Sentences: Practice constructing sentences using familiar words to enhance their understanding of how letters and sounds combine to form meaning.

By the end of this lesson, students will have a stronger foundation in the alphabet and phonics, enabling them to begin forming basic words and simple sentences, advancing their literacy skills.
