Week 7, lesson 1 Phoneme "ear" and Grapheme "ear" - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

In the first lesson of Week 7 for Phonics Phase 3, young learners are introduced to the phoneme "ear" and its corresponding grapheme "ear". The lesson begins with a revisiting phase, possibly involving a 'Quickdash' activity to warm up and review previously learned sounds. This sets the stage for the new phoneme and grapheme, ensuring that students are ready to build upon their existing phonetic knowledge.

Following the introduction, the teaching phase likely includes interactive elements to help students learn the "ear" sound. As the lesson moves into the practice phase, activities are designed to reinforce the new phoneme and grapheme. One such activity could be 'Spot the Fake', which encourages students to differentiate between real and pseudo words containing the "ear" sound. The application phase of the lesson involves sentences that help students apply their understanding in context, such as "You can see with ears", "A year is wet", and "A man has a beard." By the end of the lesson, students should have a firmer grasp of the "ear" sound and be able to recognise and use the grapheme "ear" in both reading and writing contexts.
