Middle Sounds - PowerPoint

An English teaching resource focused on middle sounds is designed to help students recognise and understand the common phonetic sounds that occur in the middle of words. This educational material includes a worksheet where learners are presented with sets of words that share the same middle sound. Students are tasked with identifying and circling the letter that corresponds to this sound. To further reinforce their learning, they must also complete each word by filling in the missing letter. For example, they would transform m__g into 'mug' by determining that the missing letter is 'u', which represents the middle sound.

The resource continues with a second worksheet that provides additional practice for students to master middle sounds. Once again, they are given partially completed words with the middle letter missing. Their challenge is to deduce the correct letter that completes the word, considering the phonetic sound it should make. Words such as r__n, d__g, and p__p are included to allow for a variety of sounds and to cater to different learning levels. This type of activity not only enhances their phonemic awareness but also aids in vocabulary development and spelling accuracy.
