What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Track the notes from left to right, identify each stave position, enter and clear letters, use hints when needed and build the complete word.
Use a clear teaching route
Begin with three-letter words, keep a familiar landmark note visible, and have pupils read every note aloud before entering the sequence.
