Week 28, lesson 1 Phonemes "m,mm,mb" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

In Week 28, lesson 1 of Phonics Phase 5, unit 3, students are introduced to the phonemes "m, mm, mb." The lesson aims to help children distinguish and practise these sounds in various words. The session begins with a 'Quickdash' activity under the 'Revisit' section, which serves as a warm-up to refresh students' memory of previously learned phonemes. This fast-paced activity helps to engage the students and prepares them for the new learning ahead.

The 'Teach' part of the lesson introduces specific words such as 'thumb' and 'mat' in summer, which incorporate the target phonemes. These examples are carefully chosen to highlight the different ways in which the sounds can appear within words. During the 'Practise' section, students use mini whiteboards to work on their phoneme recognition and writing skills. They are encouraged to write down the words, paying particular attention to the correct phonemes. The 'Apply' stage of the lesson provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the phonemes "m, mm, mb" by using them in additional reading or writing activities. The lesson concludes with a review of what has been taught, ensuring that the students have grasped the concept of these phonemes and can recognise and use them confidently.
