Week 0, lesson 3 Onsets All Aboard - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the third day of Week 0's phonics lessons, young learners in Phase 5, Unit 1 are invited to embark on an engaging task titled 'Onsets All Aboard'. This worksheet is designed to help children develop their understanding of onset sounds, which are the initial sounds of words. The activity requires students to look at a series of images and write down the correct onset sound to complete each word. A selection of onset sounds such as 'qu', 'sh', 'z', 'j', and 'v' are provided for guidance.

The worksheet presents a set of incomplete words alongside pictures, with the challenge being to identify the onset sound that corresponds with the image. For example, children will see images of a 'quack', 'zebra', and 'zip', and they must fill in the blanks with the appropriate sounds to form the correct words. Similarly, they will complete words for 'wings', 'van', and 'jam', using the onset sounds given. This exercise not only reinforces their phonics knowledge but also aids in improving their spelling and reading skills through practical application.
