Week 5, lesson 2 "b" grapheme cards - Phonics Phase 2 - Resource

During Week 5, Lesson 2 of Phonics Phase 2, a key resource used is the "b" grapheme cards. These cards are designed to help young learners recognise and pronounce the /b/ sound, an essential part of their phonetic development. The cards typically feature the letter 'b' in both uppercase and lowercase forms, allowing children to familiarise themselves with its appearance and sound. The lesson includes activities where students are encouraged to identify and circle images that begin with the /b/ sound, reinforcing their understanding of how the grapheme corresponds to the initial sound in words.

The accompanying worksheet for this lesson provides a hands-on opportunity for children to engage with the letter 'b'. They can practise writing the letter in its uppercase and lowercase forms, and by circling the correct images, they apply their phonics knowledge in a practical way. This activity not only aids in phonemic awareness but also enhances fine motor skills as children navigate the worksheet. Such resources are integral to phonics instruction, supporting the goal of building a strong foundation for reading and writing in the early years of education.
