This resource contains three PowerPoint Presentations on mixed phonics CVC words. Teacher’s Guide included. Phonics Input Sessions: Segment and blend CVC words orally and in writing. These presentations can cover numerous phonic sessions. Play in Slide Show Each presentation contains 80 slides and has three different functions - see below The presentations are set up so that you have to click on the arrows, home, end slide function buttons. To reveal the letters in each word, you have to click on the purple squares. Click on any slide you want to use by going back and forth on the arrows. You can end the Slide Show at any time, click on END SLIDE SHOW>. In Slide Show you can use the forward/backward arrows to select the slides you want to use in your phonics lesson. This is so convenient as you can choose the words you want to focus on. Children will see a picture for each word. Suggested Activities What’s the missing phoneme? The CVC words are covered up ready to be revealed when you click on a square. You can differentiate the lesson by revealing two letters at a time and asking children to say and/or write what they think the missing phoneme is. • Click on the squares to reveal the letters you want in the lesson. • The children use the pictures as a visual aid to help them say or write the missing phoneme. What are the missing phoneme? • You can make the lesson more challenging by only revealing one phoneme and the children write or say the two missing phonemes. What’s the picture – Segment and blend CVC words You can assess how well the children segment and blend the CVC words. Select any slide in Slide Show. Ask the children what the picture is. You can prompt them if they are not sure. Get them to say the letters by sounding out and blending. Ask them to write the word on their whiteboards and then show you. You can reveal the answers by clicking on the squares. Alternatively, tell you the children you are going to show them slides of pictures and they have, e.g. a few seconds, to write the letter that corresponds to each phoneme on their whiteboards and then show you on their mini- whiteboards. I have also upload a PowerPoint Timer, timed at 2 mins and 5 mins as an option to use. Please see Preview Pane on the words used in this resource. Thank you for your interest.
