Week 15, lesson 3 digraphs "u_e, ue" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Presentation

In Week 15's lesson 3, the focus for Phonics Phase 5, unit 2, is on the digraphs "u_e" and "ue". The lesson begins by introducing these digraphs to the students, setting the stage for the exploration and understanding of their usage in words. The "Back to Menu" option provides a quick navigation tool to revisit previous parts of the lesson or to access different sections as needed. Students then engage in a "Quickwrite" activity, which serves as a revisiting exercise to consolidate their prior knowledge and ensure they are ready to learn new content.

Following this, the lesson delves deeper into teaching the digraphs "u_e" and "ue", with examples such as 'rule', 'cube', 'blue', and 'value' to illustrate their use in words. This part of the lesson emphasises the pronunciation and spelling patterns associated with these digraphs. Students then move on to the "Practise" phase, where they participate in a "Phrase Act" activity, which likely involves using the digraphs in context to create phrases and acting them out to enhance their understanding. To apply their learning, the students use mini whiteboards for "Work" activities, where they can practice writing and manipulating words containing the targeted digraphs. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up of the activities, ensuring that students have a firm grasp of the digraphs "u_e" and "ue" before moving on to subsequent lessons.
