Week 7, lesson 2 Phoneme "air" and Grapheme "air" - Phonics Phase 3, - Presentation

In Week 7's second phonics lesson, part of Phase 3, young learners are introduced to the phoneme "air" and its corresponding grapheme "air". The lesson is carefully structured to build upon the students' existing knowledge and to reinforce their understanding of the sound and its visual representation in written English. The lesson begins with an introductory phase where the new phoneme is presented to the students, ensuring they are familiar with the sound and how it fits within the broader context of the sounds they have already learned.

As the lesson moves forward, students revisit previously learned phonemes to refresh their memory, using engaging activities such as word breakers to make the learning process interactive. The teaching segment then continues with additional instruction on the "air" phoneme, providing students with ample opportunity to practice and solidify their grasp of the sound. They engage in exercises where they determine the placement of the "air" sound within words and phrases, enhancing their phonemic awareness. To apply their knowledge, students are encouraged to draw phrases that include the "air" sound, linking the phoneme to its practical use in language. The lesson concludes with a review, ensuring that the students have a clear understanding of the "air" phoneme and grapheme before they leave the classroom.
