Week 4, lesson 1 Phoneme "k" Grapheme "ck" - Phonics Phase 2 - Lesson plan

Week 4, lesson 1 of the Phonics Phase 2 curriculum introduces the phoneme "k" and its corresponding grapheme "ck". This lesson is a fundamental part of early reading and writing development, focusing on helping young learners to recognise and pronounce the "k" sound at the end of words. The lesson plan is designed to ensure that students can identify the "ck" grapheme as a representation of the "k" sound, which is commonly found in the English language. Through interactive activities and guided practice, children will become familiar with this sound-spelling correspondence, which is crucial for their phonemic awareness and literacy skills.

Dedicated activities in the lesson will include listening for the "k" sound in spoken words, practising writing the "ck" grapheme, and reading words that contain this particular spelling pattern. The aim is to build confidence and accuracy in using the "ck" grapheme when both reading and spelling words. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to correctly associate the "ck" grapheme with the "k" phoneme and apply this knowledge to their reading and writing. This foundational skill sets the stage for further phonics learning and is an essential component of a child's early educational journey.
