Hearing, finding and tracing the letter n
Listening comes first on this n page: students check the petals of a Sound Flower whose pictures start with the n sound, such as nest and nose, and skip the snake and the cupcake. Then they hunt for two big N's and three little n's hidden in a hill scene with a moon and a house, ignoring a u on the roof and an h on the tree trunk, and write how many they found. Tracing N and n comes last, and the key describes both letters' strokes.

Teaching tips
1
Name the petal pictures before students start: the 9 tile is "nine" and the net is a goal net, which some children will call a goal. Snake has an n sound inside it but starts with s, so stress the first sound.
2
If a child's count is 6 or 7, they have circled the h on the tree trunk or the u on the roof. Use the key's tip: little n and little h both have one hump, but h has a tall stick.

Ways to adjust the Letter N page for different learners.
Support
Find the big N's first
- Hunt for the two big N's in the scene first, then the three little n's.
- Say each petal picture together, stretching the first sound: n-n-nest.
- Trace two of each letter instead of four.
On level
Teach as written
- All three sections in page order, with you naming the six petal pictures.
- Students check that their written total matches the number of letters they circled.
Extension
Find the look-alike letters
- Explain why the u on the roof is not an n.
- Draw a seventh n picture beside the flower and say its name.
Curriculum alignment.
Each one is checked against the official document. Where the resource covers only part of a standard, the note says so.
Australian Curriculum: English · Foundation
AC9EFLY11Name letters and know their sounds
Students find and name capital N and small n and pick out pictures that start with the n sound and circle every hidden N and n; it covers this one letter only, not all the letters of the alphabet.
AC9EFLY10Hear and isolate sounds in words
Students say each picture name and listen for whether it starts with the n sound, which practises picking out the first sound in a word; blending, segmenting and swapping sounds are not covered.
AC9EFLY08Form letters
Students trace and then write capital N and small n following the stroke directions; it practises these two letter shapes only.
