phonics  short vowels a e i o u

A ppt game I´ve prepared for my little pupils to practise phonics from A to M. Hope you find it useful. Have a nice weekend, mada :) 

Phonics A-M *GAME*

Hidden picture game with phonics, short vowels. 

Prepared for 5 years old kids. You can change the picture beside the brics, or you can write your own examples.

Phonics short vowels

PPT for phonics. 


I like to start my young students off with this chant. 


I have them try to make the letters using their hands and fingers as we sing it. 




phonics chant

This is a quiz game about where students have to guess he first letter based on rapid fire flashing of key images. It's a fun way to reinforce vocabulary while subtly introducing new words. Make sure to click through relatively quickly to make it challenging. Of course, you can adapt it to suit your own needs, though (i.e. make it more difficult, make it easier, etc.). Anyway, feel free to change it however you wish.

Guess the First Letter Game

I made this phonics set for my kids below grade 6 (in Japan).  

Maybe you can use them for your kids. There are 6 words per letter. Except for 'X' (of course), the phonic sounds are all in the initial position. Where it is not obvious what the word is, I've typed the word in small print for the teachers' benefit.



Enjoy!



P.S. 

I always do some gestures for each word, like pretend to eat the hamburger, or copy the lemon's gesture. The kids copy me accordingly (with laughter).

 

P.P.S.

We usually do one letter per week and one word from each of the previous 6 weeks. So, we do a total of 12 and it staggers through the alphabet as the weeks progress.

The 44 Sounds of English with Phoneme & Grapheme Examples

I created these phonics cards to help my students practice various phonics sounds, sight words, CVC words and silent e words. I colour coded them to help them recognize the sound.  I laminated the cards, cut them and played various games such as throwing some cards around the room, calling out the word and having the students search for the word. I also divide the class into two teams, give each student a number (1 student from each team has the same number, i.e. two students are 1, two students are 2, etc.). I hold up a phonics word and call out a number, the students with that number stand up and first one to say the word gets a point for their team. You could also have the students run to the board and slap the cards. You could give each students a set number of cards. Call out a card and the student with that card stands up and says the word. There are many things you can do with them!

THE HAPPY -H TEAM 

An original powerpoint which introduces the -h digraphs (ch-, ph-, sh-, th-, wh-) to young learners. It can be used in combination with a corresponding worksheet I have also uploaded.

PHONICS - DIGRAPHS - THE HAPPY -H TEAM

I prepared this board to teach the alphabet and divided the letters by colors:

green - The easiest to learn (B C D E G P T V)

purple - Not so easy (F L M N S)

blue - a little harder, with similar sound (J K)

orange - confusing, vowels with the sound of two vowels (A I O U)

red - the hardest to learn (H Q R W X Y) 



Of course this concept may vary according to the students' first language, so you may want to change the square colors according to your experience with your classes.



Suggestion: Click on each icon below the letter to play the sound, from A to Z. Let your students listen each letter. Ask some of them to repeat after you play its sound. Go until the end of the alphabet. Then start with the green letters, play each one's sound and ask students to repeat (individually or in chorus - I prefer individual repetitions because some students may act as if they were repeating, just moving their lips). Do this to all the green card letters. Then point each letter and ask the students to say them aloud as you point them. Once you feel they memorized the letter, click on it and it'll vanish. Continue with the remaining letters until all the letters in the green group had vanished. Proceed to the next group of colored cards. Once all the letters from that group had vanished, go to the next group, from the easiest to the hardest.



I don't like to teach the letters from the beginning to the end, because some students memorize the letters in sequence, and to say one letter they have to remember all of them until they get to it.



If you have another way to use the board and teach the alphabet, just let me know. Thanks for downloading and have a nice day!

The Alphabet - TEACHING BOARD (with audio)

There is a presentation including some reading on prepositions of place "in", "on", "under" and several animated tasks to practice thier use. Also, you can find useful information to teach vowel sounds for letters a, e, i, o, u, y.
