Today, we will explore the sounds of letters and how they come together to form words. Phonics is important because it helps us read and write better. We will listen to the sounds of different letters and practice saying them out loud. For example, the letter 'b' makes the sound /b/, and when we add 'a' to it, we can make the word 'ba'.
Let's look at some examples of how to build words. If we take the sounds /m/, /a/, and /t/, we can blend them together to form the word 'mat'. We can also change the first sound to /c/ to make 'cat'. This shows how changing one sound can create a new word. Let's practice this with other sounds like /s/, /p/, and /h/.
Now, let's work together to create sentences using the words we built. For example, if we have the words 'cat' and 'mat', we can say, 'The cat is on the mat.' I will write this on the board, and you can help me add punctuation at the end. Remember, every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
It's your turn to practice! I want you to choose three words from our phonics lesson today and write a sentence for each word. Make sure to use correct punctuation. After you finish writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud. This will help you practice your speaking skills too!
