Week 5 lesson 4 "or" - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

In the fourth lesson of Week 5, focused on Phonics Phase 3, the target sound is "or". The lesson is structured to progress through stages of introduction, revisiting previous knowledge, teaching, practice, and application, culminating in the consolidation of learning. Initially, students are introduced to the "or" sound and then revisit tricky words they have previously encountered to ensure retention and understanding. This quick revision sets the stage for the new learning to take place.

During the teaching phase, students are presented with the "or" sound in various contexts to grasp its usage. Practicing the sound involves interactive activities such as determining whether statements are true or false, which helps to reinforce the day's lesson. Example sentences like "A fork gets torn", "A fort is cool", and "I was born" provide a practical application of the "or" sound within simple sentences. The application continues with questions prompting students to think about the attributes of objects or concepts associated with the "or" sound, such as "Is a torch bright?", "Is corn red?", and "Is a fork sharp?". These exercises encourage students to apply their phonics knowledge in a meaningful context. The lesson concludes with a return to the menu, signalling the end of the session and the completion of the learning objectives for the "or" sound.
