Week 22, lesson 3 Phoneme "ow, ou" - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

In the third lesson of Week 22, part of Phonics Phase 5, students will focus on the phonemes "ow" and "ou". The lesson's objective is to introduce and practice these sounds to enhance the pupils' phonetic understanding and reading skills. The lesson starts with an introduction to the "ow" and "ou" sounds, engaging the children with a visual presentation that highlights these phonemes. The lesson then revisits high-frequency words through a dynamic 'Word Race' activity, encouraging students to recognize and read words quickly and accurately.

Following the warm-up, the teaching segment delves deeper into the "ow" and "ou" sounds, with examples such as "cow" and "shout" to illustrate the pronunciation and usage within words. Students then move on to the practice part of the lesson, where they are encouraged to fill in the blanks in partially spelled words, such as "ab__t" for "about" and "foun_d" for "found". This exercise helps them apply their knowledge of the phonemes to complete words. To reinforce their learning, children engage in mini whiteboard work, where they can write down the words and sounds they've learned, providing a hands-on application of the lesson's concepts. The lesson concludes with activities designed to consolidate the students' learning and ensure they have grasped the "ow" and "ou" phonemes effectively.
