Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet for core and extension ability levels to play a game to identify the different spellings of words that contain the /dʒ/ sound and a set of cards for support ability levels to match and build the spellings of words with the /dʒ/ phoneme sound.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and and match the different spellings of words that contain the /dʒ/ sound that can be used to describe pets.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to plan and write a story based on a book by a significant author about an animal kept as a pet by a family, explore words with ge spellings and use apostrophes to show possession. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
