We start with the Alphabet song and then a revision session where we can now use the new flashcards Bug Club Phonics has, as well as the revision materials on the website.

We then move on to learning our new sound with the video and follow up with the visual search element of the Asset Bank i.e. identifying where the sound is within the word. We often re-watch the video, pausing to identify whether the picture is showing the sound at the beginning, middle or end of the word and sound talk the word to match the picture.

After this, we move on to the Reading section of the lesson and practise writing the new sound.

We might read a book containing the new sound, spotting the new sound in the text and play a game or write a sentence.

The above takes between 30 and 40 minutes.

After lunch, we have a whole-class handwriting session using the worksheets from Bug Club Phonics. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Any interventions needed are done in the afternoon with the TA, using the materials from Bug Club Phonics.
