Week 9, lesson 2 Reading sentences - Phonics Phase 3, - Presentation

In the second lesson of Week 9, which is part of Phonics Phase 3, students are introduced to the skill of reading sentences. The lesson is structured with a clear presentation that guides both the teacher and students through the learning process. The lesson begins with an introductory phase where students are welcomed and the objective of the lesson—reading sentences—is established. This sets the stage for the learning activities that follow and ensures that the students are aware of what they will be working on.

The lesson then revisits previously learned content, which is an essential step for reinforcing students’ existing knowledge and preparing them for new learning. The 'Word Breaker' activity is designed to help students break down and decode words, a fundamental skill in reading. During the 'Teach' phase, the focus shifts to 'Sentence Substitution', where students learn how to read and understand sentences by substituting words to change meaning. The 'Apply' phase of the lesson involves students in an activity where they draw phrases, allowing them to visually connect words and phrases with their meanings. This hands-on approach helps to cement their understanding of sentence structure. The lesson concludes with a clear end point, signaling to students that they have completed the day's learning objectives, and it's time to reflect on what they have achieved.
