Begin the lesson by explaining what phonics is and why it is important for reading and writing. Use simple language to describe how sounds are connected to letters. For example, the letter 'b' makes the sound /b/. Show the learners how to blend sounds together to form words. Use examples like 'kat' (cat) and 'hond' (dog) to illustrate how different sounds combine to create meaningful words.
Demonstrate how to build words using phonics. Start with the sound /m/ and ask the learners to think of words that start with this sound, such as 'man', 'muis' (mouse), and 'melk' (milk). Write these words on the board. Next, show how to change the beginning sound to create new words, for example, changing 'man' to 'kan' (can) by replacing /m/ with /k/. This will help learners understand how changing sounds can create different words.
Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of letter cards. Ask them to create as many words as they can using the letters provided. Encourage them to say the sounds out loud as they build the words. After 10 minutes, have each group share their words with the class. Discuss the meanings of any new words they created and ensure they use correct spacing and punctuation when writing them down.
Ask learners to write three sentences using the words they built during the group activity. Remind them to use correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. For example, if they used the word 'kat', they could write, 'Die kat is op die mat.' (The cat is on the mat.) After they finish, have them read their sentences to a partner, focusing on pronunciation and clarity.
