In the initial lesson of Week 5, students in the Phonics Phase 2 programme are introduced to a captivating activity called 'Caption Match'. This exercise is designed to enhance their understanding and recognition of the grapheme . As part of the resources provided, the lesson includes a worksheet that encourages young learners to identify and circle the grapheme within a selection of words. The aim is to help children become familiar with the appearance and sound of the grapheme, which is a crucial step in their phonics education journey.
The worksheet for Day 1 of Week 5 presents a simple yet effective task. Students are given a list of words including 'hug', 'hop', 'hit', and 'hack'. Their challenge is to carefully scan these words and circle the grapheme in each one. This activity not only reinforces their ability to recognize the sound but also supports their developing reading skills. The repeated grapheme at the top of the worksheet serves as a visual reminder, helping to imprint the shape and sound of the grapheme in the students' minds, thereby aiding in their phonetic development.
