English Resource Description
In the third week's first lesson of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, children focus on letter formation with an emphasis on the digraph . A worksheet is provided to aid in the learning process, where students are tasked with identifying and circling the digraph within a selection of words. This activity is designed to reinforce the correct formation of the combination and to help students recognise its appearance in different words. The worksheet presents a list of words such as 'whisper', 'wheat', and 'whip', where the digraph is prominently featured at the beginning of each word, providing a clear example for the students to follow and learn from.
The activity is an integral part of the All Aboard Phonics curriculum, which is meticulously structured to guide students through the intricacies of English phonetics. By engaging in this exercise, students enhance their understanding of how digraphs work, specifically the sound, and how it influences the pronunciation and spelling of words. The worksheet is a simple yet effective tool for teachers to assess students' ability to recognise and form the digraph, ensuring that they are developing the foundational skills necessary for proficient reading and writing in English.
