Phonics is the relationship between sounds and their spellings. In this lesson, we will explore how different sounds can be represented by letters and combinations of letters. For example, the sound /sh/ can be found in words like 'ship' and 'fish'. Understanding these sounds helps us read and spell words correctly.
Let's take the root word 'play'. By adding different prefixes and suffixes, we can create new words: 'replay', 'playful', and 'player'. Notice how the meaning changes with each addition. This exercise shows how understanding phonics can help us expand our vocabulary and use words in different contexts.
In pairs, students will create sentences using the words we built earlier. For example, using 'playful', a sentence could be: 'The playful puppy chased the ball.' Students will focus on using correct punctuation, such as capital letters at the beginning of sentences and full stops at the end. After writing, pairs will read their sentences aloud to the class.
Students will complete a worksheet that includes a phonics section where they identify sounds in given words and a word-building section where they create new words from a list of root words. They will also write three sentences using at least one of the new words they created, ensuring correct punctuation and spacing.
Answer: /ch/
'ch' represents the /ch/ sound as in 'chair'.
Answer: -ing
A suffix is added to the end of a word, and '-ing' is an example.
Answer: The child was very happy.
A correct sentence should include the word 'happy' and proper punctuation.
Answer: happy
The root word is 'happy', while 'un-' is a prefix and '-ness' is a suffix.
Answer: Again or back.
'Re-' indicates doing something again, as in 'redo'.
Answer: I like to read books.
The sentence should end with a full stop to be correctly punctuated.

'Th' in 'this' represents the voiced /th/ sound.
Answer: shoe, fish.
Both 'shoe' and 'fish' contain the /sh/ sound.
