Phase 5 Letters and Sounds, countdown, alternate pronunciations

Which phoneme frame?

I intend to use this with my phase 5/6 group. I give a word and they decide which phoneme frame to use. This should give them lots of practise with segmenting.

Magnetic letters and phoneme frames

This idea came to me the other day when teaching my little SEN group phonics. 3 of my children constantly start from right to left when making words with magnetic letters. We use magnetic letters most days. I thought if I had a phoneme frame on the magnetic board it would be so much easier because then I could put a little mark in the first box for them to start their word. I had some laminated 3 box phoneme frames already so I carefully cut them out and stuck them with a tiny bit of bluetac in each corner, to the magnetic board. With a permanent marker I made a little star in the first box. Absolute success! They worked a treat! And the magnetism goes right through the phoneme frame so the letters still stick.

Letter mat for Letters and Sounds SEN

I am finding my group are struggling to write down a sound when I say it. They just can't remember what it looks like or how to form the letter. I just made this very simple mat which I am going to laminate and use every day as part of quickwrite. I will say the sound and the child will find it on their mat and write it. I am hoping with lots of practise they will be able to do it soon without the mat. It covers all the letters from phase 2. I haven't done ck, ff, ll or ss.

Letters and Sounds planning, week 6 for children with SEN

Two of my children are struggling with the difference between /n/ and /m/. They just can't hear the difference. I have planned one little session using a rubbish bin and treasure box where they have to sort picture cards between rubbish and treasure. Also I plan to use mirrors so the children can look at the shape of their mouths when they say each sound. Apart from that the children are really starting to make progress. Their writing is improving but they still need more work on the PGCs. Hear the phoneme and write it down. So you will find lots of 'quickwrite' sessions too.
