Phonics is the method of teaching reading by correlating sounds with letters or groups of letters. In Sepedi, we will focus on the sounds of vowels and consonants. For example, the letter 'a' makes the sound /a/, and the letter 'b' makes the sound /b/. Understanding these sounds will help us build words and sentences.
Let's take the sounds /m/, /a/, and /t/. When we combine these sounds, we can form the word 'mat'. We can also change the first sound to /c/ to make the word 'cat'. This shows how changing one sound can create a new word. We will practice this with more examples, such as /s/, /u/, and /n/ to make 'sun'.
In groups, learners will be given a set of phonetic sounds. They will work together to create as many words as possible using those sounds. For instance, if they have /p/, /e/, and /n/, they can create 'pen', 'nep', and 'pe'. Afterward, each group will share their words with the class, and we will discuss the meanings and use them in sentences.
Learners will individually write three sentences using the words they built during the group activity. They must remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if they used the word 'mat', they could write, 'The cat sits on the mat.' After writing, they will read their sentences aloud to a partner for feedback.
