Week 1, lesson 5 Letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

During the fifth day of Week 1 in Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, children are presented with a worksheet that focuses on letter formation and the recognition of the /ee/ phoneme. The task is straightforward yet essential for developing phonemic awareness and handwriting skills. Students are asked to look at a list of words and identify those that contain the /ee/ sound, which is represented by the 'ea' letter combination in this exercise. Words such as 'east', 'spied', 'feel', and 'peach' are provided, and children must circle the ones in which the 'ea' makes the /ee/ sound.

The activity not only reinforces the understanding of the 'ea' grapheme but also allows for practice in fine motor skills through the physical act of circling the correct words. This engaging and interactive task is designed to help students make connections between spoken sounds and their written forms, which is a crucial step in their reading and writing development. By completing this worksheet, children enhance their ability to distinguish between different phonemes and become more proficient in their letter formation, setting a strong foundation for literacy.
