9:30 - 10:15 Phonics with Mr Elks
Today we will be exploring the 'ie' Yellow I digraph.
I have emailed the Zoom link to parents.
During the Zoom meeting, I will be showing the ‘Phonics – ie – Yellow I - input’ powerpoint and the children will be reading ‘ie’ words from the real word flashcards.
Afterwards, you may watch the ‘A Taste of Pie’ video below.
I would like the children to practise their blending skills by reading 'ie’ Yellow I nonsense words using the flashcards (see below).
Then, I would like the children to practise their segmenting skills by spelling ‘ie’ Yellow I real words
which their parent/carer says out loud (see flashcards below).
Extra Challenge:
Write sentences including at least one of the 'ie’ Yellow I words. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.
Plenary
Practise reading and spelling high frequency words using the flashcards or powerpoint.
These are words which we use a lot in our reading and writing.
