Today, we will explore the sounds of Tshivenda letters and how they combine to form words. Phonics is the foundation of reading and writing. We will practice identifying the sounds of different letters and how they can be blended together. For example, the letter 'b' makes a 'buh' sound, and when combined with 'a', it forms the word 'ba'.
Let's look at some examples of how to build words. If we take the sounds 'm', 'a', and 'n', we can blend them to form the word 'man'. Similarly, if we take 't', 'e', and 'n', we can create the word 'ten'. Notice how each sound contributes to the final word. We will practice this with more examples on the board.
In groups, you will receive a set of letters. Your task is to create as many words as possible using those letters. For instance, if you have 's', 'a', and 't', you can form 'sat' and 'as'. After 10 minutes, each group will share their words with the class. Remember to pronounce each word clearly and check your spelling.
Now it's time to write! Using the words you created in your group, choose three words and write a sentence for each. Make sure to use correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. For example, if you wrote 'man', you could say, 'The man is happy.' After writing, pair up with a classmate and read your sentences to each other.

The letter 'k' makes the 'kuh' sound.
Answer: hat

Answer: The dog is barking.

Answer: Question mark
A question mark is used at the end of a question to indicate it is an inquiry.

Answer: a
The first letter of 'apple' is 'a'.
Answer: The cat is sleeping.
This sentence has a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end, making it correct.
Answer: cat, hat
Both 'cat' and 'hat' rhyme with 'bat' because they have the same ending sound.
