Spelling Lesson - Homophones and Near Homophones Group A, Part 2 of 2!
Homophones Group A, Part 1: plane, meet, mail, heal, grown, fair, accept, affect, ball and berry
Homophones Group A, Part 2: plain, meat, male, heel, groan, fare, except, effect, bawl and bury
This is a full lesson teaching the spelling of the following homophones: plain, meat, male, heel, groan, fare, except, effect, bawl and bury. The lesson includes a review of the previously learned homophones (group A, part 1), explains the meanings of all these words and includes a multitude of activities for learning both the spelling and definitions of these words (anagrams, word search, crossword, fill in the blanks, acrostic poems and many more). It also includes a spelling strategies mat of extra ideas and methods for learning spellings.
A homophone is a word with the same pronunciation as another word but which has a different meaning and usually, a different spelling. It is advisable to teach homophones independently from each other so as to avoid confusion between the word spellings and meanings. That is why part 2 (this lesson) should be taught on a different day from part 1 (which can also be found in my TES store).
The spelling lesson includes the following:
√ A spelling assessment
√ Learning objective
√ Success criteria
√ Starter activity
√ Teaching input/ information slides
√ Multiple consolidation activities for learning the word spellings
√ Multiple consolidation activities for learning the word definitions
√ All answer slides
√ Spelling strategies mat
√ Extension task - writing application activity
√ Plenary activity
This includes everything you need to teach children the spelling of these homophones. There is a separate lesson teaching the alternative homophones for each of these words (plane, meet, mail, heal, grown, fair, accept, affect, ball and berry) and which should be taught at a different time to avoid confusion.
Phonics Phase 2 Complete Lesson + Activities - letter Ff
This is the nineteenth lesson in this complete phonics course teaching children how to read and write! Focusing on the letter f, this lesson introduces the letter, the sound it makes and how to identify the initial, middle and end sound and letter of words. It is the nineteenth lesson of phase 2 phonics and includes all the information and activities you need to introduce this letter and the sound it makes.
In phase 2 of phonics, children meet the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make.

From lesson 3, 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.
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 2 sound.

Phonics Phase 2 Complete Lesson + Activities - letter G g
This is the ninth lesson in this complete phonics course teaching children how to read and write! Focusing on the letter g, this lesson introduces the letter, the sound it makes and how to identify the initial, middle and end sound and letter of words. It is the ninth lesson of phase 2 phonics and includes all the information and activities you need to introduce this letter and the sound it makes.
In phase 2 of phonics, children meet 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. From lesson 3, 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.
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 2 sound.

Bundle
Phase 2 Phonics Digraphs Bundle (ck, ff, ll) - Extension to Phase 2 Phonics Lessons
Never plan another phonics lesson! Here are all the resources you need to teach children to recognise these common digraphs, created by an EYFS specialist and UK trained teacher.
Whether you’re an experienced teacher whose realised that your free time is too valuable to spend hours planning everything from scratch, or your a parent with no idea on how to even start teaching your child to read and write, our phase 2 phonics lessons have everything you need. These lessons can be incorporated into the order you teach the phase 2 individual letters and sounds or can be taught at the end. These are the first digraphs children usually learn, due to their high frequency in English. You can then follow these with the phase 3 phonics lessons which teach children about many more digraphs and trigraphs.
Phase 2 of Phonics is when the letters and sounds they represent are introduced, and children learn how to form the letters. It is also where the skills of blending and segmenting are taught. We blend sounds in order to read words and we segment words into their sounds in order to write them down. All of this is covered in these resources and you will find you have everything you need to execute effective, engaging and inspiring lessons.
For those of you who have never taught phonics before, many slides contains directions, hints and tips in the notes section. These explain what each slide is for and often include additional ideas for their execution.
As a teacher, tutor, early-years specialist and head of English at an international school, I have personally used these lessons teach classes of children how to read and write, tweaking and perfecting them annually. They contain:
Reviews of prior learning
Learning objectives and success criteria
Phase 2 phonics sound mats
Video and game links
Activities introducing the letters and the sounds they make
Letter identification activities and texts (poems)
Activities for identifying the initial, middle and final sound in CVC (consonant- vowel- consonant) words
Letter formation activities and video links
Activities for blending sounds to read CVC words
Activities for segmenting words into their sounds to write CVC words down
These resources teach children the sounds and letters based on the order of their frequency of use in English:
Lesson 1 - S
Lesson 2 - A
Lesson 3 - T
Lesson 4 - P
Lesson 5 - I
Lesson 6 - N
Lesson 7 - M
Lesson 8 - D
Lesson 9 - G
Lesson 10 - O
Lesson 11 - C
Lesson 12 - K
Lesson 13 - CK
Lesson 14 - E
Lesson 15 - U
Lesson 16 - R
Lesson 17 - H
Lesson 18 - B
Lesson 19 - F
Lesson 20 - FF
Lesson 21 - L
Lesson 22 - LL
Lesson 23 - SS
Segmenting and blending activities begin from lesson 3 onwards. Lessons should be taught in the above order as they follow on from each other, building on prior learning and they also include a recap of previous learning at the start of each lesson.
These lessons will get children reading and writing words. You can then follow these lessons with the Phase 3 lessons (also available in bundles) which will get children reading and writing sentences.
Please check the notes sections on each slide for extra details, directions, hints, tips and ideas.
Environmentally friendly!
No printing is required for any activity in any lesson. Children can work on white-boards or in notebooks. The lessons can also be easily used to teach children online, especially with interactive apps such as Pear Deck, Seesaw, Nearpod etc.
