I’m trying to assist a JTE make a juku lesson for elementary students, focusing on phonics.
I’ve only taught secondary school so no experience (or desire) to teach anything under 2nd year junior high school, but as a native speaker, seems she thinks I can help \~ so I’ll try.
I see samples of the text LET’S GO. Is that the text for Grade 1-6, so LET’S GO 1 is first grade and so on?
Or is there another series being used? Any links to some decent-ish short phonics lessons, starting at Ground 0 that are used in JP?
Also, at what grade/age are they taught simple weather (It is sunny, It is rainy) and weekdays and date to say “It is Monday, October 14.” I find 2nd year junior high can struggle on that, so perhaps that comes in grade 5 or 6?
Many thanks!
