Today, we will learn about phonics, which helps us understand the sounds that letters make. We will focus on the sounds of the letters 'b', 'm', and 't'. For example, the letter 'b' makes the sound /b/, 'm' makes the sound /m/, and 't' makes the sound /t/. We will practice these sounds together and learn how to blend them to form words.
Let’s take the sounds we learned: /b/, /m/, and /t/. We can combine these sounds to create words. For example, if we take /b/ and add /a/, we get 'ba'. If we add /m/ to /a/, we get 'ma'. Now, let’s try to combine /t/ with /a/ to make 'ta'. Can anyone think of other words that start with these sounds? Let's write them on the board.
Now that we have some words, let’s use them in sentences. I will write a sentence on the board: 'Bana ba ja borai.' (The children eat porridge.) Let’s break it down. What does 'bana' mean? (children) What about 'ja'? (eat) And 'borai'? (porridge) Now, I want you to create your own sentence using the words we practiced. Remember to use correct punctuation at the end of your sentence.
For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences using the words we learned today. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if they can understand your sentences. This will help you practice your reading and speaking skills.
