Children begin by observing the picture on each page and identifying the corresponding word. The word is then spoken aloud to reinforce pronunciation and phonemic awareness. Learners trace the provided letters to practice correct handwriting formation, followed by writing the word independently on the designated line. The final step involves completing the spelling by filling in the three letter boxes. This consistent routine supports literacy development while maintaining an engaging and confidence-building learning experience.
