Activities in this teaching pack include sets of cards to identify initial phonemes for different names that can match the corresponding letters of the alphabet and link each of the consonant letters of the alphabet to different objects with the same initial sounds.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use a story with a familiar setting to identify initial phonemes of matching groups of words.

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.
