An interactive PowerPoint to help your class revise the first half of phase 3 phonics. The PowerPoint consists of 20 activities that focus on the skill of reading. They could be used as fillers for a whole month, or as part of a phonics lesson. Example activities include: speed reading finding the odd one out, finding as many ‘ch’ words as possible before the timer finishes… …and many more! I have created the PowerPoint to use with my year 1 class throughout the month of September as a revision activity, so some of the activities have an autumn/back to school theme. However, you can easily use them at any point in the year. 14 phase 3 sounds are covered, up to the ‘ee’ sound. This is the first in Blossoming Minds’ new series of phonics filler activities! Follow us to see when we add more.
