Phonics Phase 2, Set 1 - s, a, t, p - Animated PowerPoint with worksheets teaching unit - PowerPoint

The Phonics Phase 2, Set 1 teaching unit is a comprehensive resource designed to introduce young learners to the foundational sounds of the English language. This set focuses on the letters 's', 'a', 't', and 'p', providing an animated PowerPoint presentation complemented by a variety of worksheets to reinforce learning. The materials encourage pupils to engage with the sounds through visual and auditory stimuli. For example, they will watch videos explaining how each sound is associated with its corresponding letter, practise pronouncing the sounds out loud, and use their finger to trace the letters in the air, enhancing their fine motor skills and letter recognition.

The teaching unit also includes interactive activities where students identify objects that start with each sound and think of words containing these sounds, such as 'snake', 'sandwich', 'snowman', 'star', 'ghost', 'bus', 'postman' for the /s/ sound, and similarly for the others. Worksheets provided allow children to practise writing the letters and colour pictures that contain the target sounds. Additionally, there are exercises where children listen to their teacher say a sound or read a word aloud, then find the corresponding letters or sounds from a selection, fostering their ability to blend sounds into words. This resource is ideal for building a strong phonetic foundation, crucial for reading and spelling proficiency in the English language.
