Lesson details
Key learning points
- Some sounds can be represented by a number of different spellings e.g. the /ee/ sound.
- The same spellings can represent more than one sound e.g. 'ie', 'ei', 'ough' and 'ou'.
- How to spell the curriculum words: shoulder and committee.
Keywords
Phoneme - the smallest unit of sound that can change a word's meaning
Grapheme - the letter or group of letters that represent a sound (the spelling)
Exception - a case or situation that does not follow the usual or expected rule or pattern
Letter string - a group of letters that are written together in a word
Common misconception
Some children may think a letter string can only represent one sound.
Remind pupils of the key phonics principles: a sound can be represented by more than one letter, one sound can be represented by more than one spelling and one spelling can represent more than one sound. It is why the English language is so hard!
