This is a complete lesson teaching children how to identify, read and write the βighβ trigraph of phase 3 phonics. This lesson introduces the βighβ digraph and the sound that it makes (a long vowel /i/sound as in sigh). It is designed to be the EIGHTH lesson in a series of phase 3 lessons that build on prior learning from phase 2.
In phase 3 of phonics, children learn that multiple letters (digraphs and trigraphs) can make one sound. They also meet some of the less common letters and the sounds they make. They continue to practise segmenting and blending CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) words, CCVC and CVCC words as well as some longer, phonetically-decodable words.
These lessons follow on from the phase 2 phonics lessons where the most commonly used letters and sounds are learned and children practise segmenting and blending mostly CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) words.
These lessons are designed to teach children how to read and write by practising the skills of identifying, segmenting and blending. Each lesson includes all the information, games, videos and activities needed teach each phase 3 sound.

A full lesson presentation teaching what the past simple tense is, why we use it and how to write in the past simple tense.
The past simple tense is used to talk about things that have already happened. It is used especially for describing things that we know when happened. All sentences must have a verb. Verbs tell us the tense of a sentence. We distinguish between regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs are verbs which follow a rule to change to past simple (we add the suffix -ed to these words). Irregular verbs do not follow a rule to change to their past tense form.
