Week 6, Ship-Shape Letters activity - Phonics Phase 2 - Worksheet

The "Ship-Shape Letters" activity is an engaging worksheet designed to help young learners practice their letter recognition and association skills. In this exercise, children are encouraged to draw objects that begin with each letter, or grapheme, presented. The worksheet lists several letters from the alphabet such as 'm', 'd', 'g', and 'o', and provides space for the child to illustrate their understanding of the sound each letter makes by drawing a corresponding item. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their phonics learning from Phase 2 but also allows them to express their creativity while solidifying their grasp of initial letter sounds.

In the "Letters Lost at Sea" activity, children are tasked with a phonics rescue mission. The worksheet presents a series of incomplete words where the final grapheme is missing, and it's up to the young learners to fill in the blanks with the correct letters. The choices are provided on an illustration of a boat, adding a thematic touch to the exercise. Words like 'an_', 'ba_', 'do_', and 'ca_' are waiting to be completed. This activity is designed to develop the children's ability to identify and understand ending sounds in simple words, further enhancing their phonics knowledge from the Phase 2 curriculum.
