Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. In this lesson, we will explore how different letters and combinations of letters create specific sounds. For example, the letter 'c' can sound like /k/ in 'cat' or /s/ in 'city'. Understanding these sounds helps us decode words when reading and improves our spelling when writing.
Let's take the sound /sh/. Words like 'ship', 'shout', and 'shiny' all start with this sound. We can build new words by adding different endings. For instance, if we take 'sh' and add 'e', we get 'she'. If we add 'o', we get 'show'. This shows how phonics helps us create new words by manipulating sounds.
Now, let's practice building sentences. Using the words 'cat', 'sat', and 'mat', we can create the sentence: 'The cat sat on the mat.' Notice how we use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end. Let's work together to create more sentences using different words. Remember to focus on spacing and punctuation.
For your independent practice, you will receive a list of phonetic sounds. Your task is to create as many words as you can using those sounds. After that, choose three words and write a sentence for each. Make sure to check your sentences for correct punctuation and spacing before submitting your work.

'Friend' is the correct spelling of the word.
Answer: /s/
