Product description
From the author
Introduce or review English letter names, then practise spelling words and names aloud. The presentation also includes a radio-alphabet reference, common names with IPA pronunciation, personal titles and guided name-spelling dialogues.
The PowerPoint Show file has 32 slides, including the licence slide. Model the dialogues, then let partners substitute their own names. Pacing can be adjusted to the group’s experience.
The file contains native text, but the included licence prohibits editing; follow those terms when using the supplied presentation.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Pronounce and recite the English letter-name alphabet.
Use the radio/telephone alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...) to spell words clearly aloud.
Select the appropriate personal title (Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms.) based on context.
Teaching tips
Model the guided-practice dialogues aloud with a student before pairing students to practice with each other.
Introduce the radio alphabet only after the standard letter-name alphabet is secure, since the lesson builds from one to the other.
Use the printed IPA pronunciations for the common names section as a pronunciation-checking reference rather than expecting students to read IPA independently unless they have prior exposure to it.
Skills covered
Alphabet pronunciation — students recite and pronounce the letters of the English alphabet correctly.
Radio alphabet spelling — students use words like Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie to spell out words unambiguously aloud.
Title usage — students select Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms. appropriately when addressing someone by their last name.
Good to know
