Week 8, lesson 5 Writing Sentences - Phonics Phase 3, - Presentation

In the fifth lesson of Week 8, students in Phonics Phase 3 are introduced to the skill of writing sentences. The lesson begins with an overview of the objectives, ensuring that the students understand what they will be learning and achieving by the end of the session. The structure of the lesson is clearly laid out, starting with an introduction that sets the stage for the day's activities. Students are then encouraged to revisit tricky words through a 'Quickdash' activity, which serves to refresh their memory and reinforce their understanding of these challenging elements of writing.

As the main teaching point of the lesson, students are guided to 'Write the picture', an activity that encourages them to translate visual cues into written language. This exercise not only helps students in sentence formation but also in understanding the connection between images and words. To practise this skill, they are provided with mini whiteboards, allowing them a hands-on and interactive way to experiment with writing. The lesson then moves into the application phase, where students apply what they have learned in a more structured context, solidifying their ability to craft sentences. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up, signalling the end of the session and a return to the main menu, where students can reflect on their progress and prepare for the next step in their learning journey.
