Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. Today, we will learn how to identify sounds in words and how to blend these sounds to form new words. For example, the sounds /c/, /a/, and /t/ can be blended to form the word 'cat'. We will also explore how changing one sound can create a new word, such as changing the /c/ in 'cat' to /h/ to make 'hat'.
Let's practice building words together. I will say a sound, and you will help me find the letters that match. For instance, if I say /s/, /n/, /a/, what word can we make? Yes, 'snack'! Now, let's try another one. If I say /b/, /a/, /t/, what word do we have? Correct, it's 'bat'. Remember, we can change the first sound to make new words, like 'cat' or 'hat'.
Now, let's work on constructing sentences. I will give you a few words, and you will help me make a sentence. For example, if I say 'dog', 'runs', and 'fast', how can we put these together? That's right! We can say, 'The dog runs fast.' Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Let's try another one together: 'cat', 'sits', 'on', 'mat'. What sentence can we create?
It's your turn to practice! I want you to write three sentences using the words: 'bird', 'flies', 'high'. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, read your sentences to a partner. This will help you practice your reading skills as well. Remember to check your work for any mistakes!
Answer: /b/
The letter 'b' makes the /b/ sound, as in 'bat'.
Answer: sat
The sounds /s/, /a/, /t/ blend together to form the word 'sat'.
Answer: The dog barks.
A correct sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
Answer: /k/
The first sound in 'cat' is /k/, as in 'kite'.
Answer: cat
Changing the /b/ in 'bat' to /c/ gives us 'cat'.
Answer: The cat is sleeping.
A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.
Answer: Full stop.
A full stop indicates the end of a sentence.
