This week, I am delighted to tell you that I have finished making and have uploaded a lesson for each letter of the alphabet ready to teach on the interactive whiteboard. I had hoped to have them finished by the end of June, but I donโt feel too bad that it took me until 4 July โ not too far over my goal.
Each letter is introduced in its own lesson with its most common sound, as is the expectation of most English curricula and phonics programs. This includes 20 consonants and the short sound for each of the 5 vowels (a, e, i, o and u). The letter โxโ is the exception. Its most common sound is โksโ as heard in โboxโ, so that is how it is introduced.
The lessons are available individually and can be used in any order.
They are titled, for example Letโs learn about initial j and can be found in the Literacy/phonics collection.
Each lesson follows the same format.
The letter and ten words are presented aurally as well as visually with images as an additional aid to memory.
