Week 13, lesson 3 digraph "ow" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Presentation

In the third lesson of Week 13, part of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2, the focus is on the digraph "ow." The lesson is structured to first introduce the sound, then revisit it through a quick writing exercise, ensuring that the children are familiar with the sound and can recall it effectively. The teaching segment of the lesson involves demonstrating words that contain the "ow" sound, starting with "low" and then moving on to "cow," allowing students to hear and see the digraph in context. This approach helps students to connect the sound with its written representation.

Following the teaching phase, students get the chance to practise the "ow" sound through engaging activities. One such activity is a scavenger hunt, which encourages children to apply their knowledge in a dynamic and interactive way, searching for items or words that contain the "ow" digraph. Additionally, the lesson includes an activity using mini whiteboards, where children can write words and sentences using the "ow" sound, providing a hands-on opportunity to apply what they've learned. The lesson is designed to end with a review of the slides and the activities completed, solidifying the students' understanding of the "ow" digraph and its usage in words.
