Week 1, lesson 3 Letter formation - "v" - Phonics Phase 3 - Worksheet

During Week 1, Day 3 of the phonics programme, children are introduced to the letter formation of the lowercase "v" as part of their learning in Phase 3 phonics. The worksheet provided is a practical tool for reinforcing the understanding of the /v/ phoneme. Children are tasked with identifying and circling words that begin with the /v/ sound. The worksheet presents a list of words, including 'jog', 'van', 'vet', and 'jet', among which the children need to discern and highlight those starting with the targeted phoneme. This exercise not only helps with letter recognition but also with the development of phonemic awareness, a crucial skill in early reading development.

The worksheet also offers an opportunity for handwriting practice, with multiple instances of the lowercase "v" printed on it, inviting the children to trace and form the letter correctly. This activity is designed to help students become familiar with the shape and formation of "v", ensuring they gain confidence in their writing skills. The worksheet is a part of the comprehensive resources provided in the "All Aboard Phonics - Phase 3 Teacher Manual", which equips educators with the necessary tools to deliver effective phonics instruction and support children in their journey to becoming proficient readers and writers.
