Week 15, lesson 2 Review Day (u,s,th) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Lesson plan

In the second day of Week 15, the lesson plan from Phase 5, Unit 2 of the All Aboard Phonics programme is dedicated to reviewing the graphemes taught in the current and previous week. The objective is clear: to reinforce the students' understanding of the graphemes , , and . The session starts with a 'Tricky Word Race', an engaging activity where children read from a selection of 10-15 tricky word flashcards. The initial round focuses on individual reading, while the second round turns into a competitive team game to see which group can identify the words most quickly.

The teaching segment of the lesson involves writing the graphemes on one side of the board and associating them with their corresponding pictophones—visual aids like 'Ook', 'Unicorn', 'Umbrella Man', 'Thief', 'That', 'Seal', and 'Jean'. Children are encouraged to participate by drawing lines to match each grapheme with its phonemes. This visual connection helps to solidify their understanding. Following this, the practice activity, 'Word Match', involves comparing word pairs to determine if they are the same, with children responding using Yes/No flashcards. Finally, the application of the day's learning is tested with a Yes/No decoding exercise, where children read phrases and display their comprehension by holding up the appropriate flashcard. This interactive approach ensures that students not only learn but also apply their phonetic knowledge in a practical manner.
