Week 26, lesson 1-5 Vowels Review Week - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Lesson plan

The planned activities for Week 26 in Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, are dedicated to a comprehensive review of vowel sounds. The objective for this week is to recapitulate the various vowel phonemes that the children have learned thus far. Each day begins with engaging review games such as Quickdash, Quickwrite Words, Quickdash Words, Word Breaker, and HFW Race, designed to revisit the sounds in a fun and dynamic manner.

During the application phase, children are divided into groups and rotate through a series of interactive stations, each with a specific focus on vowel sounds. At Table 1, the 'Sound Spotter' activity has pairs of children reading paragraphs and identifying specific phonemes, while Table 2's 'Word Sort' challenges them to decode words and connect them with corresponding phonemes or pictophones. At Table 3, the 'Sound Gangplank' requires matching words to pictures using cut-out planks. Table 4 encourages creative writing as children compose stories based on illustrations provided, and Table 5's 'Rhyme Match' has them pairing rhyming words. An extension task offers an additional challenge for those who finish early; they are asked to write a story incorporating a set of words displayed on the board, which includes high-frequency words and those containing new grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs). The week's lessons conclude with individual assessments, where the teacher reads one-on-one with each child, noting any challenging words and identifying common areas of difficulty to address with the entire class.
