Today I am practising: applying phonics patterns while reading short sentences

Read: The ship is red. Box sh and draw the ship.

Read: A goat can run. Underline oa and circle the animal.

Read: The bird sat on a branch. Underline ir, then tell where it sat.

Read: I made a cake. Circle the silent-e word.

Read: The frog jumps in the pond. Underline the ending blend in jumps.

Choose one sentence, reread it smoothly, and write one word you decoded well.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.

How to teach this page

Step 1Let the child point to each sound pattern only after attempting the sentence independently.
Step 2Ask the meaning question after a second read so fluency and comprehension both matter.
Step 3Praise accurate self-correction when a word does not make sense on the first read.
