Week 15, lesson 2 Review Day (u,s,th) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Presentation

In the second lesson of Week 15, students are taken through a comprehensive review day as part of their Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 learning. The lesson is structured to consolidate their understanding of the sounds 'u', 's', and 'th'. The session commences with a 'Tricky Word Race', a fun and engaging activity designed to revisit and reinforce previously learned tricky words. This serves as a warm-up exercise, setting the stage for the day's focus.

Following the warm-up, the lesson moves on to the teaching phase, where the sounds 'u', 's', and 'th' are introduced or reviewed. Students are then given the opportunity to practice these sounds through a 'WORD MATCH' activity, which helps to enhance their recognition and pronunciation skills. The application of these sounds is further explored through the use of words and sentences such as 'unit', 'run', 'tpull', 'stag', 'treasure', and 'thirteen'. Students are encouraged to understand the context of these sounds in everyday language with example sentences like "It is good to say thank you" and "You can change the weather. A stink smells awful." The lesson is rounded off with a series of slides that recap the key points, ensuring that the students have a clear understanding of the material covered.
