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.
