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

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and match different words that contain the or and ar phoneme sounds that can be used to describe mini-beasts.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to devise a class information book that uses alphabetical ordering to describe different mini-beasts that might live in the school grounds, identify and spell words with the or and ar phonemes and punctuate lists in sentences using commas. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
