English First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 10

Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. In this lesson, we will focus on the sounds of letters and how they combine to form words. For example, the sound 'ch' can be found in words like 'chair' and 'chocolate'. We will practice these sounds through listening exercises and word-building activities.

Let's take the sound 'sh'. We can build several words with this sound: 'ship', 'shoe', and 'shout'. We will write these words on the board and underline the 'sh' sound. Next, we will create a sentence using one of these words, such as 'The ship sails on the sea.' Notice how we use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.

Now, let's work together to create sentences using the words we built. I will say a word, and you will help me form a sentence. For example, if I say 'cat', you might say, 'The cat is sleeping.' Remember to use correct punctuation. After we create a few sentences together, I will ask you to share your own sentences with a partner.

For this activity, you will receive a list of phonetic sounds. Your task is to write down at least three words for each sound. After that, choose one word from each sound and write a sentence using that word. Make sure to check your sentences for correct punctuation and spacing before sharing them with the class.
