English Resource Description
In the seventh week of the phonics programme, the first lesson introduces young learners to the "ear" trigraph, an essential component of Phonics Phase 3. The focus of this lesson is on letter formation and the recognition of the "ear" sound within words. A worksheet is provided to support the teaching of this phoneme, encouraging students to identify and circle the "ear" trigraph in a selection of words. The words presented are carefully chosen to help solidify the understanding of the sound and its appearance within different contexts.
The worksheet includes common words such as "hear" and "year," as well as words that may be less familiar to the students, like "beard" and "near." Additionally, there are repetitions of the "ear" trigraph for further reinforcement. This exercise not only aids in phonemic awareness but also in improving handwriting skills as children learn to form the letters that comprise the "ear" sound. The activity is designed to be both educational and engaging, ensuring that the students can confidently recognize and write the "ear" trigraph by the end of the lesson.
