Week 5, lesson 2 New Grapheme "u_e" cards - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1

In the second lesson of Week 5 during Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, young learners are introduced to the new grapheme "u_e". This split digraph is an essential component of the English language and represents a specific vowel sound often found at the end of words. Educational cards are used as visual aids to help children recognise and pronounce the "u_e" sound. One of the cards features an illustration that brings the sound to life with the phrase "oon on the moon," which not only demonstrates the grapheme but also engages the child's imagination and reinforces memory through rhyme and visual context.

Another card in this set showcases the magic of the "u_e" sound through the whimsical image of a "unicorn with a pink horn," further cementing the grapheme in the learner's mind with a colourful and memorable association. These cards are designed to be clear and appealing, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable for the children. The aim is to build a strong phonemic foundation by introducing these graphemes in a fun and interactive way, which is crucial for the development of reading and spelling skills in young learners.
