Week 1, lesson 3 Spelling CVCC Words - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

In the third lesson of Week 1, students delve into the world of spelling CVCC words, an integral part of Phonics Phase 4. The lesson is structured in a way that facilitates a clear progression from introduction to application. It begins with a brief introduction, where the concept of CVCC words – consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant – is presented to the children, providing them with the foundational knowledge they need to understand the structure of the words they will be learning to spell.

The lesson continues with a 'Quickdash' activity designed to revisit and reinforce previously learned phonics. This is followed by the teaching segment, where specific CVCC words such as 'bend' and 'gift' are introduced. Students are given the opportunity to practise these spellings through engaging activities such as 'Spot the Fake', which challenges them to identify incorrectly spelled words. The practice is further extended with 'Mini Whiteboard Work', where children can apply their spelling skills in a written format. The lesson culminates with an application activity that allows students to demonstrate their understanding and proficiency in spelling CVCC words, ensuring they have a firm grasp of the concept by the end of the lesson.
