English Resource Description
The lesson plan for Week 11, Day 2, in the Phase 5, Unit 2 Phonics program is centred around reviewing graphemes that have been introduced in the previous weeks. The objective is to reinforce the students' understanding of the graphemes , , and . The lesson begins with a 'Tricky Word Race' where children quickly read through a selection of challenging words, first individually and then as a team competition to enhance engagement and recall.
The teaching segment involves writing the graphemes on the board and matching them with corresponding pictophones, such as 'Igloo' and 'Ice Cream' for , 'Eagle' and 'Ape' for , and 'Goat' and 'Jellyfish' for . This visual association helps students connect the graphemes with the sounds they represent. During the practice portion of the lesson, sentences are written on the board for students to read. Words are then substituted to test comprehension and encourage active participation. Finally, the application of the lesson is through 'Phrase Act' where students read phrases in pairs and then perform them, which not only aids in memorising the graphemes but also adds a kinesthetic element to the learning process.
