In my internship, I did not have an opportunity to teach alphabet for the first grade pupils. It upset me very much. But to my luck I found this lesson plan. It is a very interesting lesson plan. After reading it, I can say that I have learned new methods of teaching alphabet .

Hi I need professional advice. I'm going to open an institution for young kids, but I have no experience how to teach them English as second language. Id there any teacher who can help me in this regard? Where should I start my curriculum?
