Week 28, lesson 4 Phonemes "ng, nk" - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

In Week 28's fourth lesson of Phonics Phase 5, unit 3, students delve into the world of phonemes with a focus on the sounds "ng" and "nk". The lesson begins with a revisit to previous learning, using a word breaker activity to refresh students' memories and prepare them for the new content. This warm-up serves as a bridge between what they already know and what they're about to learn, ensuring they're ready to tackle new phonemes with confidence.

The teaching segment of the lesson introduces the "ng" sound through words such as "sing", "running", and "bang", allowing students to hear and articulate the phoneme within different contexts. This is followed by exploring the "nk" sound with words like "rink", "thank", and "dunk". Through repetition and clear examples, students become familiar with how these sounds are used in everyday language. The practice part of the lesson involves mini whiteboard work, where students get to apply their newly acquired knowledge by writing words that include the "ng" and "nk" phonemes. This hands-on activity reinforces their learning and helps to cement their understanding of how these sounds function within words. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up, ensuring students leave with a solid grasp of the "ng" and "nk" phonemes.
