Week 3, lesson 3 Learn to segment words for spelling - Phonics Phase 2 - Presentation

In the third week's third lesson of Phonics Phase 2, young learners are introduced to the fundamental skill of segmenting words for spelling. The lesson begins with a revisit to the 'Sound Splat' activity, which serves as a warm-up to refresh students' memory of sounds they have previously learned. This engaging activity helps to prepare the children for the new concept they are about to explore. As the lesson progresses, the focus shifts to teaching the technique of breaking down words into individual sounds, an essential step in developing spelling proficiency.

During the 'TEACH' phase, the instructor demonstrates how to segment words, providing clear examples and guidance. The 'PRACTISE' part of the lesson involves hands-on activities where students can apply what they've learned, using mini whiteboards to work on segmenting words themselves. This practical application is crucial as it allows students to actively engage with the learning material, reinforcing the concept of segmenting through repetition and practice. The lesson concludes with a recap and an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the material covered, ensuring they leave the lesson with a solid grasp of how to segment words for spelling.
