Final Sounds EYFS - PowerPoint

In an engaging English teaching resource tailored for early years foundation stage (EYFS) learners, the focus is on identifying and understanding final sounds in words. The PowerPoint presentation takes students through the concept of final sounds, which are the last sounds heard in a word. For instance, with the word 'dog', the final sound would be the consonant 'g'. The lesson is designed to help young learners practise recognising the letter that corresponds to this final sound, enhancing their phonemic awareness and spelling skills.

The resource includes a series of interactive activities where students are presented with words missing their final letters. They are encouraged to choose the correct letter from two given options to complete the word correctly. Examples of such exercises include filling in the blanks for words like 'cu_', 'be_', 'fo_', and 'pe_', with options such as 't' or 'p', 't' or 'd', and so on. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their understanding of final sounds but also makes the learning process enjoyable. After completing the PowerPoint activities, students are then prompted to solidify their learning by filling out worksheets that provide additional practice with this key phonetic concept.
