Spelling - or

The educational material provided outlines a series of interactive activities designed to help children learn about the 'or' sound in words. The lesson begins with a visual aid, where images representing words such as 'storm', 'horn', and 'cord' are displayed on yellow slides for the whiteboard. Teachers encourage students to identify the common sound in these words and practice sounding them out. The white slides contain printable activities that can be used as an alternative to exercise books. The lesson includes various exercises such as adding sound buttons, which are visual markers to help children decode the sounds within words, and a spelling game called 'Caterpillar game' to reinforce their learning.

Further activities encourage children to blend sounds to form words, use picture associations to remember spellings, and label images with the correct words. Students are also tasked with identifying hidden words in a letter grid, an activity that enhances their word recognition and spelling skills. Dictation exercises are included, where children fill in missing words in sentences, and a 'Spell check' segment where they write words dictated by the teacher to test their spelling accuracy. The lesson plan is designed to be engaging, with a variety of tasks such as 'Bingo' and 'Challenge cards' to cater to different learning styles and to ensure that the children can recognise, read, and spell words containing the 'or' sound effectively.
