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

In the second week of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, lesson 2 focuses on the letter formation activity centred around the 'ir' sound. The worksheet for this day is designed to help children associate the 'ir' sound with the correct letter formation and to recognise this sound within different words. Students are presented with the 'ir' sound repeated several times on the worksheet, encouraging them to practice writing it.

The activity progresses by asking the children to draw lines connecting words containing the 'ir' sound to their corresponding images. Words such as 'bird', 'shirt', and 'girl' are included, each accompanied by a picture that represents the word. This exercise not only reinforces the child's understanding of the 'ir' sound in various contexts but also aids in developing their handwriting skills and their ability to match sounds to visual representations. The worksheet is a practical tool for educators to assess the children's grasp of the 'ir' sound and their ability to apply it in reading and writing.
