Alfabeto Ilustrado

Goal

To recognise and pronounce letters of the alphabet, and be able to teach at least one word in
Portuguese to others.

Learning outcomes Skills used

To identify: * Listening
* Speaking
* letters of the alphabet * Reading
Que letra é esta?
* combinations of letters, accents and
punctuation
Como se diz?/ Vamos dizer …/ Vamos escrever
* sounds associated with the letters.

Procedures

Individual, pair, group or class activity

In this activity, the class makes an alphabet frieze for display in the classroom. The finished
product not only acts as a constant reminder of the alphabet but also provides students with visual
examples of a variety of vocabulary.

Materials

* Letter template and mini-dictionary

* Magazines containing suitable pictures (for students who can't draw).

Steps

1. Allocate at least one word from the alphabet list to each student.
2. Students choose a word from the mini-dictionary. Instruct students to draw a picture that
depicts their word (it should fill all the space available for better visibility). If drawing is too
difficult for some students, provide them with magazines to cut out pictures.
3. Instruct students to write the word in Portuguese below the picture.
4. Working in pairs or small groups, students teach their word to others, using their picture as a
prop.
5. When they are confident, students teach their word to the whole class.
6. Lead class in other fun activities, such as charades or hangman, to reinforce the vocabulary on
the alphabet cards.

Follow up

* Before putting the alphabet frieze on display, students enjoy seeing their work used as
flashcards – fold the word behind the picture so only the picture is displayed, then ask the students
what the word is in Portuguese.
* Cover the word and see which group or individual can correctly pronounce the word, then ask
students to spell the word/s using the Portuguese alphabet.
* To practice correct pronunciation, students could create an alphabet rap.
* As the students are introduced to new vocabulary, the words and pictures on the frieze could
be changed.
