Testing Their Pronunciation

After teaching, it's crucial to test their pronunciation to ensure they're learning correctly. Here’s how you can do it:

• Repetition: Have them repeat each letter and number after you. Listen closely to their pronunciation and correct them gently if they make mistakes.
• Games and Songs: Use educational games and songs that focus on the alphabet and numbers. This can make learning fun and help reinforce their pronunciation.
• Flashcards: Show them flashcards with letters and numbers, and ask them to say each one out loud. This visual aid can help them associate sounds with symbols.
• Interactive Apps: Utilize educational apps designed for learning letters and numbers. Many apps have built-in pronunciation checks and can be a great supplement to your teaching.
