English Resource Description
In the third day of Week 11, the lesson plan focuses on a comprehensive review of vowel sounds, specifically targeting digraphs and trigraphs introduced in Phase 3 of the phonics curriculum. The objective of the lesson is to revisit and reinforce the understanding of these complex vowel sounds, which include (ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, er). The lesson begins with a dynamic 'Quickdash' activity, where children are encouraged to rapidly identify and vocalise the sounds associated with various graphemes and pictophones, enhancing their recall speed and accuracy.
The teaching segment of the lesson, 'Sound-A-Word', involves writing words on the board that contain the targeted vowel sounds, particularly those the class needs more practice with. This collective exercise aims to improve decoding and blending skills. During the 'Practise' phase, children engage in 'Quickwrite', where they listen to a phoneme, write down the corresponding grapheme, and then display their answers on whiteboards. The 'Apply' stage of the lesson includes a 'Caption Match' activity, where children read phrases from the board and match them to the appropriate images, using phrases like "Burn a bit of wood" and "Shear the sheep." The lesson plan also suggests extension activities such as 'Sound Splat', 'Sound Sorter', and 'Phoneme Frame' to further deepen the children's understanding of these vowel sounds.
