Week 27, lesson 1 Phonemes "tch, ch" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

The initial lesson of Week 27 in Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, introduces students to the phonemes "tch" and "ch". The lesson begins with a revisiting activity called Quickdash, designed to warm up the students' phonemic awareness and prepare them for the new content. The teaching segment of the lesson then focuses on the target phonemes, using words like "fetch" and "chat" to illustrate the sounds and their usage in context. This part of the lesson is crucial as it lays the foundation for understanding the distinct sounds and how they are represented in written language.

Following the teaching segment, students move on to practice the phonemes through engaging sentences such as "It was such a good match" and "The chicken does not watch much TV." These practice sentences help students to hear the phonemes within the context of spoken language and to reinforce their learning. To apply their newly acquired knowledge, students use mini whiteboards for interactive activities that allow them to write down words or sentences incorporating the "tch" and "ch" sounds. This hands-on approach ensures that students have the opportunity to apply their phonics skills in a written format, solidifying their understanding by the end of the lesson.
