Spelling - ee

The educational material provided focuses on teaching children the 'ee' sound through a series of engaging activities. Yellow slides are designed for display on the whiteboard, while white slides serve as printable activity sheets. The lesson starts with a discussion of images that include words such as 'feet', 'bee', and 'sheep', encouraging children to identify and sound out the common 'ee' sound. The teacher then leads the class in blending and pronouncing words that contain this sound, reinforcing their phonetic skills.

Subsequent activities involve identifying the two letters that make the 'ee' sound and associating words with corresponding pictures to cement learning. Children are then challenged to read aloud words containing the 'ee' sound and to use sound buttons—dots for single sounds and dashes for combined sounds—to break down the phonetics of the words. Activities range from word creation and labelling pictures to finding hidden words within a letter grid. The lesson also includes a 'Spell Check' where children practise spelling words out loud and a 'Caterpillar Game' to reinforce their spelling in a fun, interactive manner. The lesson plan concludes with various printable activities, including bingo and challenge cards, to further engage students in learning the 'ee' sound.
