Week 20, lesson 2 phoneme "oe, ow" - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

During the second lesson of Week 20 in Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, young learners are introduced to the phonemes "oe" and "ow". The lesson begins by revisiting high-frequency words through an engaging activity called High Frequency Word Race, which helps to warm up the students' phonics skills and prepare them for the new sounds. This interactive approach ensures that children are ready to focus on the new phonemes of the day.

The teaching segment of the lesson specifically focuses on the "oe" and "ow" sounds, with examples such as "grow" and "toe" to illustrate their usage. Students are then encouraged to practice these sounds through sentence examples like "Joe will throw the ball to Mo" and "Rose fell and broke her toe on the snowy slope". These practice sentences not only help in reinforcing the phonemes but also aid in understanding their context within words and phrases. The lesson incorporates mini whiteboard work, allowing students to apply what they've learned by writing and interacting with the phonemes directly, further cementing their understanding. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up of the concepts covered, ensuring that the children have a firm grasp of the "oe" and "ow" sounds before moving on.
