Teaching letter discrimination to 3rd grade Chinese students

[haopengyou]

I am teaching grade 3 Chinese students. I gave them a dictation this morning - only requiring them to write down the letters as I spell them, and not to know how to spell words - and find a number of common problems with all of them. For example, "m" and "n" - half of the students do not hear the difference. "g" and "j" are also difficult for them. "b" and "p" and "e" - all having the same sound.

Any suggestions for helping them? I think this problem is going to haunt them unless it is corrected.

This may not help directly but you can find lists of minimal pairs on EnglishClub. For example, this page lists final m and n:

Do you mean pronunciation of the alphabet (/ei/ for A, /bi:/ for B etc)? If so, these other resources on TEFL.net's sister site might also help:
