Week 7, lesson 4 Phoneme "er" and Grapheme "er" - Phonics Phase 3, - Presentation

In the seventh week's fourth lesson of Phonics Phase 3, young learners are introduced to the phoneme "er" and its corresponding grapheme "er". The lesson begins with an introduction to the sound, helping students to become familiar with the pronunciation and visual representation of "er". The introductory part of the lesson sets the stage for more in-depth exploration of the phoneme and grapheme as the session progresses.

Following the introduction, the lesson revisits previous learning to consolidate the students' understanding. The "Word Breaker" activity encourages students to practice their phonics skills by breaking down words into individual sounds. The teaching segment then introduces new words containing the "er" sound, providing a foundation for the practice activities that follow. Students engage in exercises such as the "Word Mood" game, which helps them to apply their knowledge in a fun and interactive way. The lesson concludes with application questions that challenge the students to use the "er" sound in various contexts, such as asking if a fox can go up a ladder or if a letter is sharp. These imaginative questions are designed to test comprehension and encourage students to think critically about the sounds they have learned. The lesson wraps up with a review, ensuring that the children have a solid understanding of the "er" phoneme and grapheme before they move on to the next activity.
