Phase 5 Phonics
Year 1 (Age 5-6)
English
20 students
The lesson corresponds to the National Curriculum for teaching phonics in Year 1, focusing on the requirements for Phase 5, where students learn alternative spellings for sounds they already know.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (mins) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Phase 5 | 5 | Introduce the concept of Phase 5 phonics and explain the importance of alternative spellings. Use examples and engage students in a brief discussion. |
| 2 | Phonics Flashcard Activity | 10 | Display flashcards of Phase 5 sounds and encourage students to repeat the sounds. Use a game format to make it interactive (e.g., matching games). |
| 3 | Guided Reading | 10 | Read a short storybook that incorporates Phase 5 sounds. Pause to highlight sounds and encourage students to decode words. Use questions to check comprehension. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Distribute phonics worksheets where students practice writing words using Phase 5 sounds. Offer support as needed, circulating the room. |
| 5 | Review and Conclusion | 5 | Summarize the learning objective. Review sounds learned during the lesson and assess understanding through a quick verbal quiz without putting students on the spot. Provide feedback on worksheets for homework. |
Assign students to create a phonics booklet at home, where they write three words for each Phase 5 sound learned in class. Encourage students to illustrate their words. Collect booklets during the next lesson for feedback without asking them to present in front of the class.
