Week 2, lesson 1 Letter formation - "I" - Phonics Phase 2 - Worksheet

In the second week's first phonics lesson, aimed at children in the early stages of reading, the focus is on the letter formation of the grapheme "I". The lesson forms part of the Phase 2 phonics curriculum and includes a worksheet designed to help children practice writing the letter "I" in both uppercase and lowercase forms. The worksheet provides a series of "I" and "i" letters for the children to trace, ensuring they gain confidence in forming the letter correctly and consistently.

The worksheet also incorporates a fun and interactive activity where children are tasked with identifying and circling the "i" grapheme within a set of words. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of the grapheme "i" but also aids in developing their word recognition skills. The words provided for this exercise are simple and phonetically decodable, such as "sit" and "pip", which aligns with the learning objectives of Phonics Phase 2. By engaging with these exercises, children are encouraged to develop their fine motor skills and phonemic awareness, both of which are fundamental to their reading and writing development.
