Today's Lesson

What to Get Ready

Make sure you have access to your student's library of familiar books and poems. You will be reading some of these poems in today’s Reading & Writing Introduction.

Write the words from 'Blend to Read' (below) on 📄 blank flashcards.

Today your student will need to access games on a tablet, laptop or other device.

Phonics - Quick Fire!

Quick recognition of sounds.

Phonics - New Learning

In this lesson, your student will be revising some of the new flashcards from Steps 19 to 23.

Ask your student to write on their mini whiteboard as many ways as they can think of for writing the sound ‘oy’ (as in ‘boy’). They may write: ‘oi’ and/or ‘oy’. Remind your student of any they haven’t written.

All of the words in today’s phonics activities will have the sound ‘oi’ in them.

Phonics - Blend to Read

voice (3) | boiling (5) | enjoying (6) | coins (4)

Phonics - Split to Spell

These words have ‘oy’ in: toys (3) | enjoy (4)

These words have ‘oi’ in: soil (3) | choice (3)

Phonics - Extra Support

Show your student how to blend to read/split to spell the first word in each activity.

Phonics - Extra Challenge

enjoyment (8) | joist (4)

Challenge your student to write the words without Sound Beds to help them.

Phonics - Apply

Write this caption on the mini whiteboard: the boy found a coin in the moist soil. 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

Allow your student to choose two poems from their library. Read them together. Enjoy using your voices in interesting ways and adding actions and sound effects.

Spend this part of the lesson enjoying reading favourite books from your library together. Start with these three:

Student's choice – your student picks a book.
Adult’s choice – you pick a book for your student to read to you. Choose one that they enjoy but that isn’t too easy for them.

Speaking & Listening

Explain that during Lesson 5 this step your student will be tested on all of their 📄 High Frequency Word List. They have been practising these often during the last twenty-four steps.

Explain that today, your student will be playing some games to help remind them of the different spellings.

Spelling

The following games are an excellent way of practising these words. All links can be found in this step’s resources.
