Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. In this lesson, 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 begin with these letters. For example, the letter 's' makes the sound /s/, and we can think of words like 'sun' and 'sand'.
Let's build some words together! Using the letters we learned, we can create the words 'sat', 'pat', and 'sip'. I will write these words on the board. Now, let's break them down: 's' + 'a' + 't' = 'sat'. Can anyone tell me what sound 'p' makes? Yes, it makes the /p/ sound! Now, who can help me build the word 'pat'?
Now that we have built some words, let's put them into sentences. I will write a sentence on the board: 'The cat sat on the mat.' Let's read it together. What do you notice about the sentence? Yes, it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. Now, I want you to work with a partner to create your own sentence using the words 'cat', 'pat', and 'sat'. Remember to use correct punctuation!
For independent practice, I want each of you to choose three words from our phonics lesson today. Write them down and then create a sentence for each word. Make sure to check your sentences for correct punctuation and spacing. Once you are done, share your sentences with a classmate and read them aloud to each other.
