Week 2, lesson 1 Letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In Week 2, Day 1 of the phonics programme, students are presented with a letter formation activity tailored to Phase 5, Unit 1, focusing on the phoneme /oi/. The worksheet provided is a practical tool for reinforcing the recognition and writing of words containing this specific sound. Learners are encouraged to circle words that include the /oi/ phoneme, a task that not only helps with phonemic awareness but also with visual discrimination of letter patterns associated with the sound.

The worksheet lists words such as 'coin', 'outboy', and 'enjoy', among others, where students must identify and circle the correct words that contain the /oi/ sound. This exercise is designed to strengthen their understanding of the phoneme /oi/ and its representation in written language. The activity serves as a foundation for building reading and writing proficiency, particularly in distinguishing between words that do and do not contain the targeted phoneme. It's an engaging way for children to practice and consolidate their knowledge of letter sounds within the context of Phase 5 phonics instruction.
