Phonics and Structured Literacy Activities: Focus Sound B

Description

These activities have been created to specifically support the teaching and learning of the target sound and letter /b/.

With initial modelling and scaffolding, these activities are intended to be completed independently to build students’ skills in following instructions, fine motor skills and stamina to complete tasks.

This Phonics and Structured Literacy Activities: Focus Sound B resource includes:

Three practice activities:

• Colour and Draw: Students look at each picture and decide whether it starts with the target sound. Students circle and colour each picture, then draw two pictures starting with the target sound themselves. Examples of this could be the names of people who start with this letter or items from the classroom.
• Making Words with the Target Sound: Students write the target letter at the start of each word, read the word they have created and draw a picture that matches the word. This activity also targets word-level comprehension.
• Word Find: Students look for and find the words using the target sound.

One hands-on activity:

• Playdoh Letter Mat
