Food cards to be laminated and cut; placed face down in a pile. Children to take it in turn to pick up a food card and decide whether it is safe for their animal to eat.

Phase 5 powerpoint - designed to teach: 1. GPC recognition 2. Blending for reading words containing the phoneme (real and pseudo words) 3. Where in the word does the phoneme come? 4. Segment for spelling - model for class, then individual quickwrites 5. Sentence reading
I created this resource to use alongside the Scholastic lesson plan 'tea with the big bad wolf'. Two small tables to use when looking at spelling rules. First table when orally segmenting two similar words - does the initial/final/medial phoneme sound the same. Tick or cross as appropriate. Then use the second table to compare when spelling the two similar words.
Words used for this activity were feel and fell.
Works well when used as a word work or phonics session when doing the Three Little Pigs.
