●      Repeat with at least two or more students or until everyone can sound out the names

            Students Lesson (alone)

●      Students will then create on a construction paper their names and fold the paper into squares, enough for each letter of their name or draw lines on their poster board until they have enough boxes for their name

●      Then they will paste a picture that has the same letter as the letter in the box

●      Explain to students the process of folding the construction paper to have the top of the paper be the long side then fold into enough squares for their name
