Review

Show Me

Listen to the each of the words I say, then write them on your whiteboard to show me.

Learning

Focus: The /s/ sound spelt sc, e.g. science, scene.

Prior Learning

In phonics, you learned that that /s/ grapheme can be made in different ways                                

Let's revisit them:

c	se	ce	st
nice	promise	notice	whistle
pencil	purpose	face	Christmas
decent	tense	peace	fasten
princess	reverse	voice	rustle

 

Read these  words with me: 

science      scene        scenic        scent

scissors     scythe          scintillate

What do you notice?

How is the /s/ sound spelt?

 

We will dd another column to the grapheme chart to show the alternative sc.

 Listen to me segment the words to spell them, then you do the same to spell them in your spelling journal.

My Turn                   science

Your Turn               science

My Turn                  scene

Your Turn                scene

My Turn                   scissors

Your Turn                scissors

Practise and apply

Practise spelling the words below. Use the Sticky Word Strategy:

science            scene             scenic
