Week 15, lesson 4 Review Day (ou,ow,ue,u_e) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Presentation

In the fourth lesson of Week 15, students engage in a comprehensive review of the phonics patterns 'ou', 'ow', 'ue', and 'u_e'. The session is part of Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 and is supported by an interactive presentation. The lesson begins with a 'Quickdash' activity, where students quickly revisit and read words that contain the target phonemes. This warm-up serves to refresh their memory and prepare them for the day's learning objectives.

As the lesson progresses, students move into the 'TEACH' phase, where the focus is on the specific phonemes 'ou', 'ow', 'u_e', and 'ue'. The 'PRACTISE' segment of the lesson involves engaging exercises such as a 'Countdown' challenge, where students must identify and use words containing the target sounds within a time limit. Words such as 'refuse', 'cruel', 'tune', 'rule', and 'mule' are used to practice the 'ue' and 'u_e' sounds, while 'sound', 'blue', 'foul', 'flower', 'shoulder', 'clue', 'bowl', 'show', 'value', 'flow', 'pow', 'argue', and 'allow' help students master the 'ou' and 'ow' sounds. The 'APPLY' phase includes activities like 'CAPTION MATCH', where students connect phrases to appropriate images, and contextual sentence creation, encouraging students to use the phonemes in their writing. The lesson concludes with students demonstrating their understanding by creating sentences such as "Throw some flour in the brown bowl," "Don’t shout too loud," and "A flute makes a sweet sound," which incorporate the phonemes studied.
