Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. In this lesson, we will explore how different sounds can be combined to form words. We will focus on common phonetic patterns such as 'sh', 'ch', and 'th'. Understanding these patterns will help you read and write more effectively.
Let's take the sound 'sh'. When we add different letters to it, we can create words like 'shout', 'shoes', and 'shark'. Notice how the 'sh' sound stays the same, but the letters that follow change the meaning of the word. Now, let's try the sound 'ch'. What words can we come up with? Examples include 'chair', 'chocolate', and 'chop'.
Now that we have built some words, let's use them in sentences. For example, 'The shark swims in the ocean.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Let's work together to create sentences using the words we built. I will write a word on the board, and you will help me form a sentence using that word.
For your independent practice, I want you to choose three words from our phonics list today. Write each word in a sentence, making sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, read your sentences to a partner. This will help you practice your speaking skills as well!
