Week 19, lesson 2 Review day - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

The second lesson of Week 19 is a review day focusing on Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3. The lesson starts with an introduction where the students are welcomed back and the agenda for the day is set. The primary aim of the session is to consolidate the students' understanding of the phonics they have been learning, ensuring that they are comfortable and confident with the material covered so far.

The lesson revisits high-frequency words through an engaging 'High Frequency Word Race' activity, which helps to reinforce quick recognition and reading of these common words. Moving on to the teaching component, the lesson focuses on the different phonetic sounds and spellings that make the 'ie' sound, such as 'ie', 'y' (as in 'by'), 'i_e' (as in 'mile'), and the simple 'i' (as in 'light'). Students then practise these sounds through a series of words, blending them to read words like 'speed', 'spied', 'light', 'tea', 'tie', 'boo', 'by', 'pile', and 'mile'. The practice session involves using mini whiteboards, allowing for an interactive and hands-on approach to learning. The lesson concludes with an application activity, ensuring that the students can apply their phonics knowledge in reading and writing, thereby ending the session on a practical note.
