Introduction My Phonics is a five-level course which introduces pupils to the sounds of the English language. It is designed to help pupils connect the sounds (phonemes) to the letters (graphemes) that represent those sounds. Pupils will develop the art of reading by understanding the English alphabet, associating sounds with letters, blending and segmenting words and decoding frequently used words. My Phonics consists of the following levels: My Phonics 1 – The Alphabet/My Phonics 1a & 1b focus on the sounds the letters of the English alphabet make. My Phonics 2 – Short Vowels focuses on short vowel words that make up the vast majority of the words pupils will encounter in their studies. My Phonics 3 – Long Vowels focuses on the decoding of words with the long vowel sound that end in -e. My Phonics 4 – Consonant Blends focuses on consonant clusters and letter blends that can be quite difficult. My Phonics 5 – Letter Combinations covers tricky letter combinations and how to decode and encode words containing them. My Phonics 3 ➤ Components • Pupil’s Book My Phonics 3 covers long vowel words. It comprises 8 units which in turn consist of four lessons. Each unit presents long vowels and the blending of letters to create them. A variety of functional activities, songs and chants help the pupils practise the long vowel sounds/words in an interesting way. The Pupil’s Book also incorporates a variety of appealing additions: I Story Time There is an enjoyable story every two units. Each story consolidates the letters and the words covered in the two units as well as providing real language input and opportunities for reading for pleasure. Each story is followed by a fun activity. In the Teacher’s Book, the teacher can find additional optional activities. II Review There is a review lesson every two units. The review lesson consolidates the long vowel sounds and words taught in the previous two units through a variety of fun activities. III Extra Check This section aims to consolidate the long vowel sounds/words taught in the course. IV Let’s Play! The board game at the end of the Pupil’s Book aims to provide an atmosphere of relaxation while consolidating the words the pupils have learnt in the course. How to Play the Board Game: The pupils play in pairs. Each pupil ticks 10 pictures on their board (blue board) without letting their partner see. The pupils take turns asking questions to find out what their partner has ticked. If they guess correctly, they tick the picture on the green board. The pupil who guesses all ten of their partner’s choices, while asking the fewest questions, wins. V Picture Cards The picture cards include all the pictures necessary for the presentation and revision of the words in each lesson. In each lesson plan there are suggestions for further use of the picture cards in group or class games/activities. VI My Phonics 3 Certificate This is filled in upon completion of the course. The aim of this certificate is to reward the pupils, as well as give them a sense of achievement. • Activity Book The Activity Book is in full colour and comprises eight units. Each unit consists of two pages and can be done upon completion of the corresponding unit in the Pupil’s Book. It aims to consolidate the long vowel sounds and words that appear in the Pupil’s Book through various activities, e.g. colouring, matching, etc. The Activity Book also includes: I Review There is a review lesson every two units. The review lesson consolidates the long vowel sounds and the respective words taught in the previous two units through a variety of fun activities. II Portfolio Activities These activities are at the back of the Activity Book. There is one activity for each unit. These activities aim to consolidate the long vowel sounds and words of each unit through tracing and colouring. II
• Teacher’s Book The Teacher’s Book provides step-by-step lesson plans. Each lesson plan provides detailed suggestions for presenting, practising and consolidating the long vowel sounds and their respective words. There are also further extension activities, games and photocopiable materials making the Teacher’s Book a complete and comprehensive guide to teaching young learners. The Teacher’s Book also includes the Pupil’s Book pages in reduced form making it easier to be used in a classroom. • My Phonics Cards The My Phonics Cards include all the pictures necessary for the presentation and revision of the words in each lesson. In each lesson plan there are suggestions for further use of the phonics cards in group or class games/activities. • Class CDs The Class CDs include all the aural activities in the Pupil’s Book. • DIGI MATERIAL Using a cross-platform application (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOSX), DIGI MATERIAL provides young learners with the digital tools to learn English in a fun way. The DIGI MATERIAL consists of: • Sound presentations along with letter tracing • Animated songs • Fun interactive activities (colouring, tracing, etc) • Learning tasks (circle the right letters, listening activities, etc) with automatic feedback • Interactive games (Pelmanism, mazes, puzzles, letter cubes, etc) • Picture Dictionary with audio ➤ Lesson Features The teaching of English should resemble the natural acquisition of the mother tongue: pupils learn in their native language through having fun and have fun through learning! They pick up sounds and, later on, words to be able to communicate in their social environment. The conditions in our classrooms should promote learning as such. Thus, each lesson follows these steps: • Beginning the Lesson This is an integral part of a lesson as pupils get the chance to communicate with their teacher and their classmates. The teacher is also given the opportunity to greet the pupils and create a friendly environment, as well as revise what the pupils have learnt from the previous lessons. During this step, the teacher is expected to revise the long vowel sounds and/or words taught in the previous lesson. This should not be a formal check of homework! The teacher plays a game using visual aids (picture cards) or realia, miming, etc, as a means of ensuring the pupils’ progress. • Presentation & Practice The teacher should present and practise the new long vowel sounds/words in a clear and enjoyable way. A pupil’s attention span can be very short so the need for a variety of activities arises. The best way to hold their attention is by changing activities every five to ten minutes. However, pupils tend to like what is familiar. Thus, teachers should let a favourite activity go on as long as the pupils are enjoying it. What may seem boring or repetitive to adults is not necessarily the case for pupils. Presenting/Practising the New Letters/Words: a) My Phonics Cards:These illustrate the words which contain the long vowel sounds to be taught. The teacher uses them to present the new long vowel sounds and drill pupils. The choral repetition of words ensures that all the pupils, shy or not, will say the new long vowel sounds/words, giving the teacher an excellent opportunity to correct any pronunciation problems while giving the pupils a sense of confidence before they say the long vowel sounds/words individually. b) Picture Cards:The picture cards are at the back of the Pupil’s Book for the pupils to cut out and store in an envelope. They are replicas of the pictures presented in the Pupil’s Book. The corresponding words are at the back of each card. During the first lesson, spend some time guiding your pupils to cut them out and put them in an envelope (provide some envelopes if necessary). Explain to them that they should always have this envelope with them. The Teacher’s Book provides many suggestions for using these cards in a wide variety of drills and activities. You can also use them to revise and consolidate the letters/words taught in previous lessons. c) Visual Aids: The respective pictures in the Pupil’s Book are used for picture discussion and for further practice of the new long vowel sounds/ words. d) Chants/Songs: The long vowel sounds and the corresponding words are practised through III
Introduction upbeat chants. In the next lesson, the pupils consolidate the long vowel sounds and the words through lively songs. All the songs are set to the tune of traditional songs that make them catchy and easy to sing. Language in the form of songs and chants is more likely to be retained by pupils. In addition, the new long vowel sounds/words are repeated many times while pupils have fun! SIGHT WORDS One of the most effective and powerful reading tools that parents and teachers can help children develop is sight word recognition. When a child is able to understand and identify sight words he/she is certain to become an avid reader. Sight words are the most frequently used words and can be found on the Dolch List. Sight words are critical to reading not only because they are used so frequently, but also because many of them cannot easily be sounded out or depicted. Following this principle, the pupils will be exposed to sight words gradually throughout the course to help them master the art of reading. • Ending the Lesson The lesson should always finish on a high note. Pupils should perceive learning as fun. They will be taught more formally in later years. Our main objective is to infuse them with a sense of happiness and fulfilment. Consequently, Ending the Lesson involves: − Games/Fun Activities: The educational value of games is that pupils are motivated to learn the English language naturally while having fun. Games are also important because at this age the sense of being in a social group and obeying rules are not yet fully developed. Thus, games promote social skills. ➤ Homework Pupils at this level are too young to be assigned any homework. The presentation, practice and consolidation of long vowel sounds and the corresponding words should take place in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher is strongly advised to recycle everything learnt on a regular basis. However, if you feel that the pupils can cope with some homework, you can assign some words for copy and dictation each time. Also, if you wish, you can assign the Portfolio Activities at the end of the Activity Book as homework. Note: The importance of copying lies in the fact that pupils practise putting individual letters together to form a complete word whilst perfecting their handwriting skills. In addition, learning a word or two for dictation enables pupils to remember words as well as improve their spelling. ➤ The Use of Mother Tongue Sometimes, especially at the beginning of an early primary course, the use of mother tongue in a language classroom is unavoidable for a number of reasons. First of all, young learners feel secure as they are given some time to adjust to their new environment, the language classroom. Furthermore, instructions of games and other activities are easier and faster to explain in L1. ➤ How to Avoid Using Mother Tongue A teacher can employ various means of getting his/her message across without using L1: a) Gestures/Miming: Pupils always use body language to express themselves. Take advantage of this by accompanying instructions with gestures, actions and mime to show what you want them to do and/or the meaning of a word. b) Pictures/Realia: Another powerful way of getting the message across is by using pictures, realia and other visual aids. Do not forget that a picture is worth a thousand words! Our objective here is to instil confidence in the pupils and, thus, gradually enable them to listen to and speak as much English as possible! ➤ Songs in the Language Classroom The importance of songs in language learning is not to be underestimated. Their rich language enables young learners’ long-term memory to develop and thus language is retained by pupils. We all remember songs from our mother tongue and we see pupils ‘perform’ short plays in our daily encounter with them. Here are some ways to ‘animate’ the songs: a) TPR Activities: Have pupils stand up, in a circle preferably. Play the song once and demonstrate the actions. Play the song again. Invite pupils to perform the actions. b) Using Prompts: Every lesson includes a song consolidating the words of the lesson. Ask the pupils to take out their picture cards or hand out other realia. Explain to pupils that they are to show their picture cards, etc every time they hear the corresponding words in the song. Play the song. Pupils listen and perform the activity. IV
These are just a few suggestions on how to use songs in the language classroom. Be as inventive as you can since pupils love performing! ➤ Games for Young Learners The educational value of games has already been explained. Here is a list of the most popular games we have used in this course: Bingo Prepare some Bingo cards with the words you want to practise and hand them out to the pupils. Each Bingo card should have a different set of words. Provide them with small pieces of paper to cover the words. Say the words or show pictures and have the pupils cover the words on their Bingo cards. The winner is the first pupil whose card is covered and who shouts BINGO! Correct the Teacher Hold up the phonics cards, one at a time and ask individual pupils to correct your statements. e.g. Teacher: (holding the dog phonics card) It is a cat! Pupil 1: No! It is a dog! etc Disappear Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Draw two stick figures on the board, one for each team. Draw eyes, ears, a nose, a mouth, hair, arms and legs on each figure. Say a word from the lesson and/or the unit. Ask a pupil from Team A to spell it and pronounce it. If the pupil spells it and pronounces it correctly, erase a body part from his/her opponents’ stick figure, otherwise no body part is erased. Then choose a pupil from Team B and repeat the activity. Continue until a team has made the other team’s stick figure ‘disappear’. Draw and Spell The pupils play in pairs. Ask the pupils to think of a few words they have learnt and draw pictures of them. Then they exchange pictures and spell and write the words. Draw It Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Ask two pupils, one from each team, to come to the board. Name a vocabulary item. The pupils quickly draw it. The pupil who finishes first wins a point for his/her team. Continue with the other words and the remaining pupils. The team with the most points wins. Floor Board Game Arrange the phonics card in a long line. Designate a starting (Start) and finishing (Finish) point. Add as many sheets of coloured paper as you wish between the cards to represent Lose a Turn, and assign a number, e.g. 5 on the dice to represent Go back to Start. Give each pupil a counter. Ask the first pupil to throw the dice and move the designated number of spaces. The pupil must say the word on the phonics card he/she lands on. If the pupil makes a mistake, he/she goes back to his/her original place. The first pupil to reach Finish is the winner. Form a Line Put up the phonics cards on the board. Write the respective words on separate pieces of paper. Hand out the pieces of paper to the pupils and ask them to form a line at the front of the board in the same order as the phonics card. Repeat the procedure with another group of pupils. Guess Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Ask a pupil to come to the board. Whisper one of the target vocabulary words to him/her. Without speaking, the pupil draws a picture of the word on the board. The first team to guess the word wins a point. Repeat the activity with as many pupils as you think is necessary. The team with the most points wins the game. Hot Cards Have the pupils sit in a circle. Hand out the phonics cards. Play the song. While the song is playing, the pupils pass the phonics cards around. When the song stops, the pupils holding the phonics cards must name them. Hunt Hide the phonics cards around the classroom. Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Assign each team a list of words for each phonics card and write them on the board in two columns. In teams, the pupils have to ‘hunt’ for the phonics cards depicting the words in their column. As they find them, they cross out the word on the board. The first team to cross off all of its words is the winner. Hush Divide the class into two teams, A and B and assign a number to each pupil. Provide each team with a sheet of paper. Say a word. The pupils with the number 1 from each team only writes the first letter of the word on the paper. He/She then gives the paper to the player with number 2 who adds the next letter, and so on. The pupils must not speak during the game. When the last letter is completed the next player on the team checks it and may correct it, if necessary. Each correct answer wins a point. The team with the most points wins. Repeat the activity with different words. V
Introduction Memory Game Put up the phonics cards on the board and ask the pupils to memorise the order in which the items appear. Remove the phonics cards and ask individual pupils to name the items in the correct order. Change the order of the phonics cards and repeat the activity. Memory Master Ask the pupils to sit in a circle. Choose one pupil to be the ‘Memory Master.’ Arrange the phonics card face up in the middle of the circle. Each pupil chooses a phonics card and says the word, without actually touching the phonics card. After everyone has said their words, the ‘Memory Master’ must hand the correct phonics card to each pupil. Noughts and Crosses Draw a large 3x3 grid on the board. Write a number 1-9 on the upper right hand corner of each space. Choose nine phonics cards and stick them face down on each space on the grid. (Make sure to cover the words with a blank piece of paper.) Divide the pupils into two teams, Team X and Team O. Choose a pupil from Team X to go first. The pupil calls out a number to see the phonics card. If he/she names the item pictured correctly, an X is placed in the space. If not the card is placed face down again and a pupil from Team O chooses a number. The team that succeeds in placing three respective marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. Pen and Pencil Ask the pupils to take out a pen and a pencil. Assign a different sound to each, e.g. long ‘a’ sound for the pen and short ‘a’ sound for the pencil. Say a word and ask the pupils to raise either the pen or the pencil that corresponds to the sound. If you say a word that does not include any of the sounds, the pupils must not move at all. If the pupils make a mistake, they are out of the game. If you want to make the game more fun, say the words quickly. Run and Touch Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Put up the phonics cards on the board. Say one of the words. Two pupils, one from each team, call out the word as they race to touch its corresponding phonics card. The first pupil to touch the phonics card wins a point for his/her team. The team with the most points wins. Sound Pairs Write two sounds in two columns on the board e.g. ‘ane’ and ‘ape’. Show a pupil a phonics card, e.g. cane. The pupil has to say the word and put the phonics card on the board in the correct corresponding column. Ask the rest of the class for verification. Repeat the activity with as many pupils as you think is necessary. Speed Race Put three chairs in front of the board. Divide the class into three teams, A, B and C. Have a pupil from each team stand up. Put a phonics card on each chair. Call out one of the phonics cards. The pupils standing try to be the first to sit on the chair with the corresponding phonics card. The first pupil to sit on the chair wins a point for his/her team. The team with the most points wins. Spin the Bottle Ask the pupils to sit in a circle with a bottle in the middle. Spin the bottle. When it stops, show the pupil it is pointing to a phonics card and elicit its name. If the answer is correct, then that pupil can spin the bottle. Repeat with other phonics cards. Telepathy The pupils form pairs. Put the phonics cards on the board. Tell the pupils to choose a phonics card without letting his/her partner know. The other pupil has to guess what he/she is thinking of. Then they swap roles and play again. e.g. Pupil 1: (thinks of ‘bike’) Pupil 2: Dice? Pupil 1: No! Pupil 2: Mice? Pupil 1: No! Pupil 2: Bike? Pupil 1: Yes! etc Throw the Beanbag Lay out the phonics cards face up on the floor. Choose a pupil and ask him/her to throw the beanbag on one of the phonics cards and name the item pictured. Repeat the procedure with other pupils. Thumbs Up or Down Ask the pupils to close their books. Hold up the phonics cards one at a time, and ask them to verify the word you say by putting their thumbs up or down. Encourage the pupils to give the correct answer. e.g. Teacher: (holding up the rope phonics card) Rose. Class: (putting their thumbs down) Teacher: Good! What is it? Class: Rope. etc Yell It Out Ask the pupils to get into pairs. Have a pair come to the front of the classroom and face each other with their hands behind their backs. Stick a phonics card onto each pupil’s back. Tell the pupils that they have to look VI
at the other pupil’s phonics card and be the first to yell out the word. Repeat the activity with the remaining pairs. What is it? Hold up the phonics cards, one at a time, partly hidden by a sheet of paper. Slowly reveal the phonics card. The pupils try to guess what the phonics card is. What’s the sound? Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Put a phonics card on the board and write the word with a missing sound, e.g. ake for the word ‘rake’. In teams, the pupils have to say the missing sound of the word, e.g. /r/. Each correct answer wins a point. The team with the most points wins. What’s wrong? Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Write the target vocabulary on the board but misspell one of the words. In teams, the pupils have to identify the wrong word and spell it correctly. Each correct answer wins a point. Give an extra point if the word is pronounced correctly, too. The team with the most points wins. Wordscraper Write a word vertically on the board. Invite a pupil to come to the board and add on another word from the lesson, either vertically or horizontally. Continue until all the words from the lesson are written on the board. If you wish, you can ask the pupils to add words from previous lessons as well. e.g. R OS E O H OP E etc Wordsearch Puzzle The pupils play in pairs. Ask the pupils to think of a few words they have learnt and create their own wordsearch puzzles. Then they exchange puzzles and find the words. VII

Now draw a pine on a line. etc 2 Rhyme and Shout: The pupils play in pairs. Pupil A writes down a word without letting Pupil B see it. Pupil A then says a word that rhymes with his/her secret word. Pupil B must try to guess the secret word by saying words that rhyme with it. The pupils win a point for each word they guess correctly. The winner is the pupil with the most points. 3 Round and Round: Ask the pupils to sit in a circle. Hold up a phonics card (e.g. mice). Give it to the pupil who calls out the name first and then have him/her pass it around the circle. As the card is passed around the pupils say the name. Repeat the activity with other phonics cards. To make the activity even more fun, change the direction and speed of the phonics cards going round at the same time. Review 2 - Activity Book 33
