Part 3: Reading

• Give trainees copies of handout 2A.
• Place your own copy on the overhead projector (or use the facilitator cue cards provided).
• While holding the prop in one hand (or touching or pointing to the prop), state and point to the sentence on the overhead (or show the cue card).

For example:

• Touch the table you are using and say, Jes et Nunuk.
• Point to the first sentence on the overhead (or show the cue card) and say, Jes et Nunuk.
• Have the trainees repeat the word.
• Repeat until all the sentences are complete.

Follow-up: Dialogue Reading

• Introduce what a dialogue is and let trainees know that this is a way for them to practice the vocabulary and structures in pairs.
• Show overhead, Dialogue for the Arepelalese lesson.
• Put the trainees in pairs and assign them an "A" or "B."
• Have them read the dialogue in pairs.
• Trainees will switch roles and read the dialogue again.

Part 4: Writing

• Give trainees copies of handout 3A.
• Give the trainees a few minutes to write out the four words requested.
• Give feedback as necessary.

Other considerations:

• Keep your hand signals consistent throughout the process.

Part 5: Debriefing

• Point out to trainees that the "Arepelese lesson" started with listening and speaking. The words, in their printed form, were not introduced until later in the lesson. First the trainees got to see the picture and hear the word. Then, the trainees were given an opportunity to read and write the word.
• Tell trainees that the lesson not only focused on learning sight words (decoding the symbols) but also on understanding how they were used in simple statements and questions.
