Week 1, lesson 5 Onsets All Aboard activity - Phonics Phase 2 - Worksheet

In this phonics worksheet designed for early readers, the task is to connect images to their corresponding initial sounds, known as onsets. This activity is part of Week 1, Day 5 of the Phonics Phase 2 curriculum. The worksheet presents a selection of graphemes, which are the written representation of a sound in a word. The graphemes featured are 'p', 's', 't', and 'a'. Children are encouraged to look at various images provided on the worksheet and draw lines to match each picture with the grapheme that represents the first sound of the word depicted by the image.

The exercise is a fun and interactive way for students to strengthen their understanding of how letters and sounds correlate, which is a fundamental aspect of learning to read and write. By identifying the initial sounds of words and linking them to the correct graphemes, children develop their phonemic awareness. This foundational skill is crucial for literacy and helps to build a solid base for further phonics education. The worksheet is part of the 'All Aboard Phonics' programme, which is designed to guide children through the early stages of reading development.
