Today's Lesson
What to Get Ready
Write the words from 'Blend to Read' (below) on 📄 blank flashcards.
Phonics - Quick Fire!
Quick recognition of sounds.
Phonics - New Learning
Ask your student how to write the sound ‘oo’ (as in ‘zoo’). Can they show you on the mini whiteboard?
Your student may write ‘oo’, ‘ew’ and/or ‘o’. All of these can make the sound ‘oo’.
Tell your student that all of the words in today’s phonics activities will all have the sound ‘oo’ in, written using the letters ‘oo’.
Phonics - Blend to Read
zooming (5) | gloomy (5) | sooner (4) | smoothest (7)
Phonics - Split to Spell
broom (4) | spoons (5) | blooming (6) | cooler (4)
Phonics - Extra Support
Show your student how to blend to read/split to spell the first word in each activity.
Phonics - Extra Challenge
drooping (6) | moonlight (6)
Challenge your student to write the words without Sound Beds to help them.
Phonics - Apply
Write this caption on the mini whiteboard: the hooting owl swoops in the moonlight. Then ask your student to read the caption.
If your student finds caption reading easy, rather than you writing the caption, you can say the caption and they can write it on the whiteboard.
Reading & Writing - Introduction
Set a timer for one minute. Ask your student to close their eyes and listen really carefully to the sounds they can hear around them.
When the timer has finished ask your student what they heard.
Reading & Writing - Main Activity
Read your student the poem 📄 'Noise'by Jessie Pope.
Say that in this poem the author wrote about lots of different sounds they liked. Explain that today, your student is going to be going on a noise hunt around the learning environment. Your student will be writing a list of the noises they hear and they will be using this list in Step 21 Lesson 4. They can write this list on the mini whiteboard or a plain piece of paper.
With your student move to different places/rooms. Ask your student to close their eyes and to listen carefully for sounds. Ask your student to write the sounds they hear in a list.
Reading & Writing - What to Notice
While they are doing this activity, remember to praise your student for the skills they are using.
For example:
‘Good listening!’
‘Careful sounding out!’
Reading & Writing - Handwriting and Spelling
This step you will have chosen to either continue to practise individual letter shapes or work on 📄 Pre-Joining Patterns.
Continue with this at the end of every lesson this step.
