Aims
1. To teach students the basic ideas about reading
with phonics.

Lesson One
Introduction to Phonics
Hello!
Phonics
Phonics is the process of learning through the
relationship between letters and combination
of letters and the sounds that go with them.
Phonics approach
helps you ‘sounding out’ new words.
English has only 26 letters
But
44 different sounds
5 written vowels: a, e, i, o, u
(母音)
20 different vowel
sounds
21 written consonants
(子音)
24 consonant
sounds
Difficult to read out English
words because:
1. Single letter - different sounds
apple
always
Try to read out
these
words
about
acorn
artist
Difficult to read out English
words because:
2. Different letters –same sound
be
police
tree
quay
sea
people
piece
complete
seize
key
Vowels
a, e, i, o, u
Short vowels
a, e, i, o, u
These letters are called vowels. You
can sometimes hear their sounds in the
middle of words.
Trace the vowel sound in each word:
cat
nest
rock
tub
win
Try it yourself…

Long vowels:
Sometimes the vowels ‘say their names’ i.e., they
have the same sound as letters of the alphabet.
When they do this they are called LONG vowels.
A:
E:
I :
O:
play,
see,
pie,

U : tube
cage, way
feet, eat
kite, try
old, grow
suit,

‘Magic e’
When ‘e’ is written at the end of a 3 letter word or a 4
letter word, the short vowel sound changes to a long
vowel sound.

Oral Practice – Tongue Twister
Betty Botter - I
Betty Botter bought some butter,
But, she said, the butter’s bitter
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter
Will make my batter better.
Oral Practice – Tongue Twister
Betty Botter - II
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she put it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter.
So it was better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.
Oral Practice – Rhyme
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Lesson Three
Puzzling sounds
Homophones
Words that sound exactly the same, but have
different meanings and different spellings.
Hello!
Bonjour!
Homophones
whole, hole
You could dig the
biggest hole in the
whole world.
Homophones
bear, bare
A bear might attack you
when you walk through
the forest with bare feet.
Homophones
The wet dog should pause
at the door to have his paws
wiped.

Solve these homophone clues:
1. You breathe it _a _i _r
Something is left to him in a will _h _e _i _r

If you drop an egg, it will _b_r _e_a_k
5. You pick it in the garden _f _l o_ _w_e_r
You make a cake with it _f _l _o _u _r

ending ‘-ed’.

Lesson Four
Syllables and Word stress
Syllables
English words break into sound units, or
beats, which are called ‘syllables’.
Every syllable
contains at least
one vowel.
Syllables
We need to say words aloud to find out how
many syllables they have.
We have to
think about
how they sound,
not how they
look.
Syllables
Breaking words into syllables will help us to
work out how to spell them.

Lesson Five
Intonation
Intonation
Some words are stressed in a phrase or
sentence because they give a rhythm or more
important information.
Stressed
Intonation
Some words are stressed in a phrase
or sentence because they give a
rhythm or more important information.
Example:
‘
Some words are stressed
Sentence stress
Rule 1
The STRESSED words  The CONTENT words
e.g. Nouns, adjectives, action verb (walk, sit…), adverbs,
number, question words and demonstratives (this, that…)
Example
The witch is flying across the sky.
Sentence stress
Rule 2
The UNSTRESSED words are
usually the FUNCTION words.
articles (a, an, the)
Pronouns (I, me, my)
Prepositions (at, by, for)
conjunction (and, so, but)
auxiliary verbs (have, had, has)
modals (may, can, might)
‘to be’ verbs (am, is, are)
The witch is
flying across the
sky.
Sentence stress
Rule 3
Stressed words are:
Longer,
louder
and slightly higher
in pitch than
unstressed words.
Sentence stress
Rule 4
Say unstressed words quickly enough:
1. reduced or made shorter with contractions
she’ll, he’ll
2. run together with other unstressed words
‘a lot of’  ‘alota’
‘want to’  ‘wanna’
‘have to’  ‘hafta’
‘going to’  ‘gonna’
Sentence stress
Rule 5
Stress (or do not reduce) the final word of
a sentence if it is a function word (of, to,
with, for, me…)
Come PLAY with ME.
