Week 5, lesson 1 Matching activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the Week 5 Day 1 phonics lesson, part of Phase 5 Unit 1, children are provided with an engaging worksheet designed to reinforce their understanding of the split digraph 'a_e'. This particular digraph is a key feature of the English language, where two letters work together to represent one sound, but are separated within the word. The worksheet presents a matching activity where children are encouraged to draw lines connecting words that contain the 'a_e' sound to their corresponding images.

The words featured in this activity include 'grape', 'plane', and 'cake'. Each word is carefully selected to highlight the 'a_e' sound and is accompanied by a set of images. The task for the children is to identify the correct image that represents each word and draw a line to match them. This hands-on activity not only helps to solidify their phonics knowledge but also enhances their ability to associate sounds with visual representations, thereby supporting their reading and spelling skills.
