Week 21, lesson 1 phoneme "oo, ew, ou, u_e, ue" - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

In the 21st week of a phonics programme, phase 5, lesson 1 is dedicated to exploring the phoneme variations of "oo, ew, ou, u_e, and ue." The lesson begins with an introduction to these sounds, providing a foundation for students to distinguish between the different spellings that produce similar sounds. The lesson revisits previously learned content through a 'Quickdash' activity, which serves as a warm-up and helps to refresh the children's memory of the sounds.

During the teaching phase, the focus is on the pronunciation and application of the phonemes "oo, u_e, ew, ou, and ue" in words such as 'roof', 'grew', 'rule', 'soup', and 'blue'. The lesson includes interactive elements, such as a 'Spot the Fake' activity, where students must identify words that do not correctly use the target phonemes. Additionally, the lesson provides opportunities for hands-on practice with mini whiteboard work, allowing children to apply their phonics knowledge by writing and segmenting words with the taught phonemes. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up, ensuring that students have a solid understanding of the phonemes before moving on to the next lesson.
