Week 13, lesson 4 Review Day (I,ie,ow) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Presentation

In Week 13's lesson 4, students engage in a comprehensive review day focusing on the phonics phase 5, unit 2. The lesson begins with a 'Quickdash' activity that serves as a warm-up, allowing students to revisit and quickly recall words they have learned previously. This sets the stage for the day's main objective: to consolidate their understanding of the phonemes 'i', 'ie', and 'ow'. These sounds are critical in the development of reading and spelling skills at this phase of phonics learning.

The teaching segment of the lesson introduces and reinforces the 'i', 'ie', and 'ow' sounds through various practice activities. Students are encouraged to engage with sentences such as "Do not spill the soup!" and "Do not pester the spies!" to understand the application of these phonemes in context. Additional practice sentences like "I love this pie" and "I allow this to happen" provide further opportunities for students to see the phonemes in action. The lesson then moves on to the application phase, where learners are prompted to create or recognise sentences that utilise the target sounds, such as "I can grow snow" and "You can tie up a field." This structured approach ensures that by the end of the lesson, students have had multiple exposures to the phonemes, enhancing their ability to read and spell words containing 'i', 'ie', and 'ow'.
