Phase 3 - j, v, w
Revisit and Review
Revisit the phase 2 sounds using the orange flashcards. Take turns to read the sounds and see who remembers the most in one minute. They are the winner.
Introduce the w sound.
Reading
Write a word beginning with w on a whiteboard/piece of paper and ask your child to read it. Encourage them to say the sounds then blend them together to read e.g. w-e-b, web.
Spelling
Before starting this activity create a spider web on the floor using masking tape if you are playing inside or chalk if you play outside. Place some magnetic letters along the lines of the web or write them using chalk. (w, i, n, a, g, e, b, x).
Hide the word then ask them to walk along the web and collect the letters needed to spell your word. They should try to balance on the web as they walk. This will help to develop their gross motor skills which helps with handwriting. Once they have collected the letters check to see if their word looks the same as yours.
Repeat with: win, wag, web, wig, wax.
