Week 5 lesson 5 Spelling two-syllable words - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

In the fifth lesson of Week 5, the focus is on spelling two-syllable words, an important aspect of Phonics Phase 3. The lesson begins with an introduction where students revisit the cardinal directions: north, east, south, and west. This serves as a warm-up to get students thinking about words they are already familiar with and to prepare them for the new content they will learn. The lesson's structure is designed to build upon the students' existing knowledge and gradually introduce more complex spelling patterns.

During the teaching segment, the concept of syllables is broken down for the students. They are taught to recognize and pronounce syllables by separating words into smaller, more manageable parts, such as 'syll-a-ble' and 'soun-der'. This technique aids in understanding how to spell longer words. Students then get the chance to apply this knowledge during the practice activity, where they use mini whiteboards to work on spelling new two-syllable words. The application of their learning continues with an activity that involves using the words in phrases and drawing, which helps to reinforce their understanding in a fun and interactive way. The lesson concludes with a review of what has been learned before students are dismissed.
