Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was to understand that the split digraph a-e makes an ae sound when reading.
The video shows our before reading activities. These activities take place before we use our selected text.
To begin, tamariki review known sounds then practicing their new grapheme. Next, tamariki practice target words from the Phonics Plus Book 'Be Brave', by writing on individual whiteboards. Tamariki then practice their Kete Kupu (non-decodable words) using flashcards. Finally, tamariki make and break words using letter tiles.
