Week 4 lesson 1 "ai" - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

The lesson plan for Week 4, Lesson 1, is focused on the "ai" sound as part of the Phonics Phase 3 curriculum. The lesson is structured into several clear stages to ensure a comprehensive learning experience for the students. It begins with an introduction to the "ai" sound, where the students are familiarised with the sound and its representation in words. The structure of the lesson allows for a smooth flow from one activity to the next, with prompts to return to the menu after each section, ensuring a focused and organised teaching approach.

After the initial introduction, the lesson moves on to the 'Revisit' stage with a 'Quickdash' activity, designed to recap and reinforce previously learnt sounds. This is followed by the 'Teach' phase where the new sound is presented in more depth. In the 'Practise' section, students engage with the "ai" sound through various exercises, enhancing their ability to recognise and use the sound in words. The 'Apply' stage then encourages students to use the "ai" sound within phrases, and offers an opportunity for them to demonstrate their understanding by drawing. The lesson concludes with a clear end, signalling to both the teacher and the students that the session's objectives have been met and it's time to wrap up.
