Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. Today, we will focus on the sounds of the letters 's', 'a', 't', 'p', and 'i'. We will practice saying these sounds and identifying words that start with these letters. For example, the letter 's' makes the sound /s/, and words like 'sun', 'sand', and 'sit' begin with this sound.
Let's build some words together! If I say the sound /s/, can you think of a word that starts with that sound? (Students respond with words like 'sun' or 'sand'). Now, let's try to build a word using the sounds /s/, /a/, and /t/. When we blend these sounds together, we get the word 'sat'. Let's write it on the board: s-a-t. Notice how we space the letters correctly!
Now, let's create a sentence using the words we built. If we have the word 'sat', we can say, 'The cat sat.' Let's write this sentence together. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. (Write on the board: 'The cat sat.'). Can anyone tell me why we need a capital letter at the beginning? (Students respond). Great! It's because every sentence starts with a capital letter.
It's your turn! I want you to think of three words that start with the sounds /p/, /i/, and /t/. Write them down on your paper. After that, use at least two of those words to create a sentence. Remember to check your punctuation and spacing. Once you're done, share your sentence with a partner and read it aloud!
Answer: /s/
The letter 's' makes the sound /s/, as in 'sun'.
Answer: pat
The word 'pat' starts with the /p/ sound.
Answer: The cat is sleeping.
A correct sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

The first letter of 'sat' is 's'.
Answer: bat
The word 'bat' starts with the sound /b/, not /a/.
Answer: igloo
The word 'igloo' starts with the sound /i/.
Answer: One
You can make the word 'sat' with those sounds.
