Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. Today, we will focus on the sounds of letters and how they form words. We will practice identifying the sounds of the letters 'b', 'l', and 's'. For example, the letter 'b' makes the sound /b/, as in 'bal' (ball). Understanding these sounds will help us read and write better.
Let's build some words together! If we take the sound /b/ and add 'a', we get 'ba'. Now, if we add 'l', we form the word 'bal'. Similarly, if we start with the sound /s/ and add 'a', we can create 'sa'. By combining these sounds, we can create words like 'bal', 'sal', and 'bla'. Let's write these words on the board and practice saying them aloud.
In groups, you will receive a set of letters: b, l, s, a, and e. Your task is to create as many words as possible using these letters. Remember to think about the sounds each letter makes. Once you have created your words, write them down on your paper. After 10 minutes, we will share our words with the class and discuss the meanings of any new words.
Now, you will work individually to create sentences using the words you built earlier. Choose three words and write a sentence for each. Make sure to use correct punctuation, such as capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. Once you finish, read your sentences to a partner and check if they understand your meaning.
