spelling - ph

The lesson plan is designed to help children identify and use the 'ph' sound, which is often found in English words. The plan includes various interactive activities displayed on yellow slides for the whiteboard and white slides for printed activities. It begins with discussing pictures of objects like microphones and dolphins, and asking children to sound out the words to identify the common 'ph' sound. This is followed by the teacher sounding out words with the 'ph' sound, such as 'phase' and 'phonics', and children are encouraged to blend and say each word out loud.

Further activities include discussing which two letters make the 'ph' sound and showing corresponding pictures and words. Words are displayed for children to read, and they are then asked to add sound buttons, dots, and dashes to indicate single or combined letter sounds during Activity 1. In Activity 2, children are challenged to make words with the 'ph' sound within a minute, and in Activity 3, they label pictures with 'ph' words. The lesson also includes a spelling caterpillar game where children spell 'ph' words, a spell check, and various printable activities to reinforce learning. Additionally, flash cards and bingo games are used to make the learning process engaging, and challenge cards are provided for further practice.
