Hello! Welcome to Our Class
Lesson 7 of 7
10 min
Let's begin
Read this with a big person. Say every English word out loud.
Ishimwe sits at home with a big person. They say one line out loud, slowly.
At every word, Ishimwe claps one time on his knees.
Today you will hear the words inside a line. Then you will sing the ABC song.
A line you say is made of words. The words come one after the other.
Say the line slowly. Stop a little at every word. Clap one time for every word.
Good morning teacher.
Good - clap. Morning - clap. Teacher - clap.
That is 3 claps, so the line has 3 words.
Careful! Do not clap fast like a song. Good morning teacher is not 5 claps. Clap only when a new word starts.
Good night. Good - night. That is 2 words.
My name is Keza. My - name - is - Keza. That is 4 words.
I am fine, thank you. I - am - fine - thank - you. That is 5 words.
Little words count too. Is is a word. My is a word. Clap for them as well.
English has a song of letters. It is the ABC song.
Sing it all through, from the start to the end. Do not stop in the middle.
Today you only sing it. Later in the year you will learn the letters one at a time.
The ABC song. Sing it all through, from start to end.
A long one for the end of the week: English with Akili, in Kinyarwanda.
