Today's Lesson
What to Get Ready
Print out a copy of 📄 The Three Little Pigs Sentences.
Write the words from 'Blend to Read' (below) on 📄 blank flashcards.
Phonics - Quick Fire!
Quick recognition of sounds.
Phonics - New Learning
Write the letter ‘a’ on the mini whiteboard along with the word ‘wash’. Ask your student what sound ‘a’ often makes when it follows ‘w’ (or the sound ‘w’, including ‘wh’). Tell your student that the letter ‘a’ also makes the sound ‘o’ when it follows ‘qu’, as in ‘quad’.
Phonics - Blend to Read
quad (3) | squad (4) | quality (6) | quarrel (5)
Phonics - Split to Spell
squats (5) | squash (4) | squashes (6) | quantity (7)
Phonics - Extra Support
Show your student how to blend to read/split to spell the first word in each activity.
Phonics - Extra Challenge
quarry (4) | quarrying (6)
Challenge your student to write the words without Sound Beds to help them.
Phonics - Apply
Write this caption on the mini whiteboard: the football squad quarrels in the quarry. Then ask your student to read the caption.
Reading - Introduction
Retell the story of The Three Little Pigs together. Start by recapping using 📄 The Three Little Pigs Storybook. Then practise the sections you learnt by heart in the previous session.
Reading - Main Activity
Write this sentence and ask your student to read it:
The first little pig thought that straw would make a good house.
Then write this sentence and ask your student to read it:
He built the house very quickly and he was very pleased with it.
Then show your student how to join these two sentences together using ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘or’.
For example:
The first little pig thought that straw would make a good house so he built the house very quickly and he was very pleased with it.
Then challenge your student to speak a sentence out loud that uses ‘and’ to join two sentences.
For example: ‘He jumped out of the pot and ran straight out of the house.’ Then ask your student to think about the story (they can look back at 📄 The Three Little Pigs Storybook if they wish) and think of a sentence that could use the the word ‘because’.
Decide on a good sentence that could use ‘because’ and ask your student to write that sentence. Remind them to have a go at words by saying the words out loud and writing down the sounds they can hear. Ask them to start their sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop. (This sentence uses ideas from the story but is created by your student.)
Now show your student 📄 The Three Little Pigs sentences. Can they complete a sentence for each picture using and, but, so or because?
Reading - What to Notice
While they are doing this activity, remember to praise your student for the skills they are using.
For example:
‘You are doing so well at remembering the story!’
‘Your sentence is very well written – you have listened hard to the sounds in the words and written what you can hear.’
Handwriting and Spelling
This lesson, please can you:
- Encourage your student to read through their writing to make sure they have spelt words correctly.
Words they need to look out for are:
on, can, dad, had, back, and, get, big, him, his, go
- Ask them to write a sentence with one of these words in it.
- Ask them to look for these words in one of their reading or bedtime books.
- Dictate these sentences to them. They should use their best handwriting:
Can Dad put it back?
I had to go because I went back to Gran’s.
