Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to identify and build a selection of cvc words that begin with the same initial phonemes and a worksheet to play a game with a partner to match objects to different letters of the alphabet to their correct graphemes.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use a story to identify and practise writing initial sounds for some of the objects that can be found in a school.

This lesson is part of a literacy scheme of work to get the children to read and respond to a story with a familiar setting and identify initial phonemes in different words based on When an Elephant Comes to School by Jan Ormerod. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
