Phonics is the method of teaching reading and writing by developing learners' awareness of sounds in words. Today, we will focus on the sounds of the letters 'm', 'a', and 't'. We will learn how to blend these sounds to form words like 'mat', 'tam', and 'at'. Understanding these sounds will help you read and write better.
Let's look at the letter sounds we have learned. When we say 'm', 'a', and 't', we can blend them together. For example, if we take 'm' and add 'a', we get 'ma'. Now, if we add 't', we create the word 'mat'. Let's practice this together by sounding out each letter and blending them to form the word.
Now that we have built some words, let's use them in sentences. I will write a sentence on the board: 'Die kat sit op die mat.' (The cat sits on the mat.) Let's read it together. Can anyone tell me what the sentence means? After discussing, I want you to create your own sentence using the words 'kat' and 'mat'. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.
For your independent practice, I want you to complete a worksheet where you will match pictures to the correct words we learned today. After that, write your own sentence using at least two of the words from our lesson. Make sure to check your punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud.

This is a direct translation of the sentence we practiced.

Both 'mat' and 'tam' can be formed using the letters we focused on.
