Week 10, lesson 2 Review Day "ey,ea,ear" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Lesson plan

In the second day of Week 10's lesson plan, part of Phase 5 Unit 2 in the All Aboard Phonics curriculum, the focus is on reviewing the graphemes , , and . The objective of the day is to consolidate the children's understanding of these graphemes, looking back at the learning from the current and previous weeks. The lesson starts with a 'Tricky Word Race', where children rapidly read through a selection of 10-15 tricky word flashcards, first individually and then as a team competition to increase engagement and reinforce word recognition.

The teaching segment of the lesson includes writing the graphemes on the board and using pictophones such as an Eagle, Ape, Egg, Ear, Aircraft, and Earth to visually connect the sounds to the graphemes. Children are then encouraged to draw lines between each grapheme and its corresponding phonemes, promoting an interactive and visual learning experience. During practice, the 'Word Match' activity requires children to use their knowledge to determine whether pairs of words match, using yes/no flashcards to show their answers, and providing opportunities for volunteers to correct any mismatches. Finally, the application of the lesson involves children using mini whiteboards to write words dictated by the teacher, such as 'grey', 'obey', 'beach', 'bear', and 'ear', allowing them to demonstrate their understanding of the graphemes in writing.
