Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognise all twenty-six letters of the alphabet in both upper and lower case

  • Link each letter to a first Portuguese noun and its English meaning

  • Notice that every Portuguese noun carries a definite article, a or o, and that the article changes with the noun

Teaching tips

  • Read the article aloud with the noun every time — a casa, not casa — since the whole point of printing them is that gender is learned with the word rather than after it

  • Print on card stock at 11 by 14 with the printer set to Actual Size, and run a test print first, as the poster's own guidance recommends

  • The English gloss sits directly beneath each Portuguese word, so covering the lower line turns the display into a quick recall check

Skills covered

  • Alphabet recognition — every letter appears in upper and lower case, Aa through Zz, on one page.

  • First Portuguese vocabulary — twenty-six illustrated nouns are introduced with pictures and English glosses, covering objects, animals and activities.

  • Bilingual word matching — the Portuguese word and its English translation are stacked under each illustration, letting a learner move between the two languages on sight.
