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 /b/ can be found in words like 'bat', 'ball', and 'bubble'. Understanding these sounds helps us read and write more effectively.
Let’s take the sound /ch/. We can build words like 'chair', 'chocolate', and 'chicken'. Notice how the /ch/ sound appears at the beginning of each word. Now, let’s try to think of more words that start with /ch/. Write them down and we will share them with the class.
Now that we have built some words, let’s use them in sentences. For example, 'The chicken is in the chair.' I will write this on the board. Pay attention to the punctuation at the end of the sentence. Let’s practice together by creating our own sentences using the words we built earlier. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end.
For your independent practice, I want you to choose five words from our phonics list and write a sentence for each. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other. This will help you practice your speaking skills as well.
