Week 27, lesson 2 Phonemes "ph, f, ff" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

In the second lesson of Week 27, focusing on phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, students delve into the world of phonemes, specifically exploring the sounds "ph," "f," and "ff." The lesson begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the day's learning objectives. Following this, the class revisits high-frequency words through a dynamic and engaging activity called the High Frequency Word Race, designed to reinforce previous learning and ensure retention of these commonly used words.

The teaching segment of the lesson introduces new vocabulary that incorporates the target phonemes, such as "offer," "fear," and "phone." Students then move into the practice phase, where they engage with words like "huff," "puff," "fall," "fill," "bone," "phone," "buffer," "suffer," "wretch," and "fetch." This hands-on practice provides ample opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with the different sounds and spellings. The interactive element of the lesson is enhanced with Mini Whiteboard Work, allowing students to apply what they've learned by writing and manipulating the words themselves. The lesson wraps up with a review of the content covered, ensuring that students are confident in their understanding of the phonemes "ph," "f," and "ff" before moving on to the next phase of their phonics education.
