  One of the major ideas here when writing on the board, is that we need to be aware that whenever we're using the board to write down information, we should not be talking and whenever we are talking we should not be writing on the board.

At the moment my students are only at the stage of learning vocabulary, phonics, the alphabet, and simple sentences such as \"I like...\" \"I don't like...\" etc. When I teach them writing I utilize their listening skills the most to test their hearing and see if they can convert what they hear onto paper.
