Week 4 lesson 4 "igh" - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

In the fourth lesson of Week 4, focusing on Phonics Phase 3, students are introduced to the "igh" sound. The lesson is structured to provide a comprehensive learning experience, beginning with an introduction to the sound and its relevance in word formation. The lesson then transitions to a revisiting phase, where students participate in a 'Quickdash' activity designed to reinforce their recognition of tricky words they have encountered before.

As the lesson progresses, the 'TEACH' section provides a more in-depth exploration of the "igh" sound, preparing students for the 'PRACTISE' activities that follow. During these exercises, students are encouraged to think critically about where the "igh" sound fits within different words. They are given the opportunity to use mini whiteboards for hands-on work, which aids in consolidating their understanding of the sound. The lesson concludes with an 'APPLY' section where students demonstrate their grasp of the "igh" sound in a practical context, ensuring they can recognise and use it confidently in their reading and writing. The final part of the lesson serves as a wrap-up, allowing students to reflect on what they have learned before they exit back to the main menu.
