Phonics
Next we are going to practise making some words with the 'oi' sound in. Now if you like you can have a go at writing these words down but I am going to suggest getting active today instead.
In school we have often put 3 hula hoops out (for words containing 3 separate sounds) and got the children to jump in each hoop sounding the word out as they go and then finally blending it together and jumping out of the hoops at the end.
For example with the word coin they would go:
(jump) "c" (jump) "oi" (jump) "n" (jump out of hoops) "coin"
This is a lot more fun than writing the words but it practises the same process of segmenting and blending a word. It does help to have the hoops down as a visual prompt that they will need to say 3 sounds but you could use anything; paper, post-it notes, socks, chalk or masking tape!
Here are some 'oi' words to have a go at segmenting and blending in whichever way you choose:
soil
coin
foil
join
boil
