This is a complete lesson teaching children how to identify, read and write the ‘ear’ trigraph of phase 3 phonics. This lesson introduces the ‘ear’ trigraph and the sound that it makes. It is designed to be the FIFTH 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. PLEASE CHECK THE NOTES SECTION ON EACH SLIDE FOR EXTRA TIPS AND IDEAS FOR TEACHING PHONICS PHASE 3.

This resource is a phonics phase 2 sound mat. It is great for children learning how to read and write and shows the full set of phase 2 letters in the order that they are typically learnt. In phase 2 of phonics, children meet many of the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make. They learn how to identify the initial, middle and end sound in CVC (consonant - vowel- consonant) words in preparation for learning how to segment and blend.They start to decode words into the sounds they know in order to start reading as well as encode sounds into letters in order to begin writing. As they progrss through phase 2 of phonics, they will start writing simple sentences composed of phonetically decodable and high-frequency words.

This resource is a word mat showing the full list of high-frequency words/ sight words/ tricky words taught to children in EYFS as part of learning to read and write. High frequency words (AKA tricky/ sight words) are words which appear with great frequency in the English language and so are necessary to learn early on in the process of learning to read and write. What makes them ‘tricky’ or ‘sight’ words is that they are often not phonetically decodable and so children must simply learn to recognise them by sight.

This is a full lesson teaching how to draw inferences about what characters are thinking and feeling as well as what their motives and intentions are. It also covers making inferences from description, dialogue and action. This lesson is complete with all the activities you need to teach and consolidate this skill. An inference is an idea that is based on clues and implied details. Authors do not always explicitly state their meaning. Instead they may provide enough details to enable the reader to make an inference. We can make inferences about almost any detail in a story. We may infer what characters are thinking and feeling as well as what their intentions and motives are. We may also infer the setting from the description, character traits from dialogue or what is happening from descriptions of action. Predictions are also a type of inference made about the future. This lesson covers all these aspects of making inferences as well as how to support our inferences with evidence from the text. It is suitable for KS2 children and includes differentiated activities including reading and writing tasks designed to enable students to apply their understanding to their own work. This resource is a PowerPoint presentation which includes all the information and activities you need to teach children how to make inferences.

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 clauses (and so sentences) must have a verb. Verbs tell us the tense of a clause. 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.
