Week 3, lesson 3 New Grapheme "ew" cards - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1

Week 3, lesson 3 in Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 introduces the new grapheme "ew" to young learners. Educational cards are used as a visual aid to help children associate the "ew" sound with different words and images. One of the cards features an illustration of a moon, accompanied by the repetitive phrase "oon on the moon," which is designed to help students recognise and remember the sound pattern in a fun and engaging context. This repetition reinforces the "ew" sound and its spelling within words that share a similar phonetic ending.

Another card in the series depicts a whimsical unicorn character, described as having "a pink horn," which provides an additional example of the "ew" sound within a word. This creative approach not only captures the imagination of the children but also aids in the retention of the grapheme through the use of colourful and memorable imagery. The aim of these cards is to build phonemic awareness and spelling proficiency in a way that is both educational and enjoyable for young learners. The cards serve as an essential tool in the phonics curriculum, supporting children as they develop their reading and writing skills.
