Module 4: Writing with Fluency and Control Teacher’s Guide.
Objective: Correct joining of an up and over Georgia the Shetland Pony letter to a Pippa the Rabbit letter
Lesson plan:
In small groups, seated at a table each child has a Write and Wipe Board and a suitable pen. The teacher has the illustrated Georgia the Shetland Pony letter cards and Pippa the Rabbit letter cards.
1. Keeping the two card sets separate, lay Georgia the Shetland Pony and Pippa the Rabbit letters cards face down. Ask two children to pick a card so they have two letters to join, e.g. o to y.
2. Demonstrate on your Write and Wipe Board how to join o to y. Remind the children not to lift their pens when writing.
3. Ask two new children to pick a card and repeat the process above until all the letters have been attempted.
More to Learn:
Key phonetic combinations for this category are: oy, ay, sp, sph and spl. To supplement the learning use the preprinted practice page in the appendix, on page 42.
Support:
If the group has good letter formations they can attempt to join more than two Georgia the Shetland Pony and Pippa the Rabbit letters in one turn.
