2. Agenda
Be introduced to the first phase sounds of synthetic phonics
Item 1
for years 1 & 2.
Feel more confident about their ability to use TPR in the
Item 2
classroom.
Item 3 Practice the pronunciation of the phonemes.
Be introduced to a variety of activities for presenting and
Item 4 practicing these phonemes.
3. 1) Make each of the five long vowel sounds: AY, EEE, ih-EEE, Oh, UOOOO
Put the letter "B" in front, so it sounds like these words: Bay, Bee, Buy, Boh, Boo.
Go on to "C" and more with: Cay, Key, Ky, Coh, Coo
Go on with every consonant to Z: Zay, Zee, Zie, Zoh, Zoo
Do the bonus three , like: Chay, Chee, Chie, Choh, Chew
2) Make each of the five short vowel sounds: Aaa, Eh, ih, o, uh
Put the letter "B" in front, so it sounds like these words: Bat, Bet, Bity, Bot, But
(but without the 't' at the end)
Go on to "C" and more with: Caa, Keh, Kih, Cah, Cuh
Go on with every consonant to Z: Zaa, Zeh, Zih, Zah, Zuh
Do the bonus three above, like: Chaa, Cheh, Chih, Chah, Chuh
You've now made almost every sound you are likely to in your speaking so your face and
throat are familiar with them all.
4. TONGUE TWISTER
Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter -
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she baked it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter
5. Have a look at the flashcards and the actions hand out on the table,
please have a read and practice the sounds ,and the actions. I would like
one or two of you to come to the front of the workshop and teach the
sound and action to the rest of the workshop. Thank you.
6. Top Ten Phonics Rules
Could you please match the phonics
rules with the examples given. You have
five minutes. For example.
1. Every word must contain a vowel. The vowels are a,e,i,o,u and y (y is a
consonant when at the beginning of a word). E.g. A,me.sit,no,up,my
7. Top Ten Phonics Rules
1. Every word must contain a vowel. The vowels are: a, e, i, o, u, and y Eg: A, me, sit, no,
up, my
2. When a one syllable word ends in a consonant and has only one vowel, that vowel is
short. Eg: mat, red, fish, sock, rug.
3. When a syllable ends in a silent "e," the vowel that comes before the silent "e" is
long. Eg: lake, gene, kite, rope, use.
4. When w is before "or", the "or" says "er". (work, word, - but not sword)
5. Qu are always together. Eg: queen, quarrel, quick, quiet
6. When "g" is followed by "e, i, or y," it usually has the soft sound of "j." Eg: gem, gym
7. When "c" is followed by "e, i, or y," it usually has the soft sound of "s." Eg: city, cent,
cygnet.
8. Top Ten Phonics Rules
8. When a syllable ends in a vowel and is the only vowel, that vowel is usually
long. Eg: "la/ter, me, I, o/pen, u/nique, my.
9. When 2 consonants join together and form one new sound, they are called
'consonant digraphs'. They count as one sound. Eg: "ch, sh, th, ph, wh".
10. When a syllable has 2 vowels together, the first vowel is usually long and
the second is silent. Eg: "rain, meat, coat, res/cue, day.
NOTE: Dipthongs do not follow these rules.
9. At the back there are pictures ,descriptions, and
action pictures from the phonics Power point that
we looked at earlier today.
In your teams I would like you to match them up.
Please try to do this without using the handout I
gave you earlier. Thank you.
