English Resource Description
In the third lesson of Week 7, students engage in a phonics activity that focuses on the grapheme . Working in pairs, they are provided with a worksheet containing a paragraph that they read together. The task is to identify and underline instances of the grapheme whenever it appears in the text, while also vocalising the phoneme it represents. This interactive exercise not only helps students recognise the grapheme but also reinforces the associated sound through repetition and peer collaboration.
The content of the worksheet is a friendly letter from Ella to Yara, sharing the exciting news of acquiring a new puppy. The paragraph is simple and relatable, making it easier for students to spot the grapheme in context. As they underline words like 'yesterday', 'happy', and 'yawns', students practice the phonics skills taught in Phase 5, Unit 2 of the All Aboard Phonics programme. This activity is designed to enhance students' understanding of graphemes and their phonetic representations, which is a fundamental aspect of developing reading fluency and confidence.
