English Foundation Plan

Step 1: Teach Basic Sounds: Start by teaching the basic sounds (phonemes) associated with each letter. Use fun activities like songs and movements to enhance learning. For example, you can incorporate physical gestures related to each sound to make the learning interactive.

Step 2: Practice Phoneme Blending: Teach children how to blend sounds to form simple words. Use picture flashcards to show the word alongside its image, and have children pronounce the phonics together.

Step 3: Introduce Sight Words: Present frequently used sight words. Use phonics methods to teach them how to pronounce these words. Interactive games can encourage children to read these words confidently.

Step 4: Construct Sentences Using Phonics: Encourage children to form short sentences using the words they've learned. Use simple stories that include the sight words to illustrate how to use them in context.

Step 5: Phonics Stories: Utilize stories that incorporate letter sounds, encouraging children to read the words aloud. They can take on different roles in the story, which helps improve their speaking skills.

Step 6: Engaging Phonics Activities: Organize fun activities to reinforce phonics skills, such as sound games or sorting activities. You can use materials like magnetic letters to play with sound blending.

Step 7: Develop Writing Skills: Teach children how to write letters and words using phonics. Have them write words after hearing the sounds, encouraging them to use their imagination to create new words.

Step 8: Enhance Listening Skills: Create activities that target listening skills, such as listening to songs that feature letter sounds, and ask children to identify different sounds.

Step 9: Motivation and Practice: Make learning enjoyable through group activities like phonics games, where children can work together to form words and sentences. Provide simple rewards to motivate them.

Step 10: Assess Progress: Use assessment activities such as short quizzes or interactive games to check children's progress in phonics learning.
