Fantastic Phonics!

Week 1 – Strawberry Group

Monday 1st June 2020

There are a few exercises in today’s lesson that you might want to record in your work book as well as doing the accompanying worksheet. Look out for the pencil to see where they are!

Please write the date in your book and LO: Phonics Lesson before starting any activities in your books.

Let’s start with our common words…

Remember you can use any of the four memory strategies we know to help us learn to spell new words.

Memory Strategies Explanations

I can listen to how many syllables there are in a word and then break it into smaller parts to help me remember it e.g. yes ter day

I can find the root word and then build my word upe.g. falling = fall + ing

I can use words that I already know to help me by using the same spelling patterne.g. could, would, should

I can make up a sentence to help me remember a worde.g. could/would/should = oh you lucky duck!

people = people eat orange peel like elephants

1. Syllables

2. Base Words

3. Analogy

4. Mnemonics

This week’s common words are…

Read each of the words and clap the syllables.

If you’re finding any of the words difficult, think about which part is making it tricky for you to remember and see if one of our four memory strategies might be of help.

Once you’ve read them all and are happy, turn away from the screen and see if you can spell them by writing them in your book as an adult reads them out to you.

Check your work carefully and correct any mistakes by writing the words again next to the ones you got wrong.

Remember a suffix is a letter or group of letters that can be added to the end of a root word.

Different suffixes have different meanings, so when you add a suffix to a word you change its meaning and make a new word.

Today we’re learning a new suffix!

Today we’re going to be learning all about the suffix ly.

ly

We can add the suffix ly to the end of an adjective to change it into and adverb.

Let’s think about what adding ly does…

ly

Remember, an adjective is a

describing word

e.g.loudsoftbadcalm

An adverb gives more information about a verb, adjective or even another

adverb!

It tells you how something happens

ly

Let’s write some adverbs using this suffix…

Can you add the suffix ly to the following adjectives?

Write them in your book, and then see if you were right!

loud + ly =

soft + ly =

bad + ly =

calm + ly =

lyloud + ly =

soft + ly =

bad + ly =

calm + ly =

Did you get them all right?

Think carefully about how it has changed from an adjective to an adverb.

loudly

softly

badly

calmly

Let’s read some sentences with this suffix…

In the first sentence we find an adjective. In the second sentence the adjective has been changed to an adverb by adding ly.

The tortoise is slow.

The tortoise walks slowly.

The tortoise is slow.

The tortoise walks slowly.

Let’s have a closer look…

Here the word slow is an adjective describing the tortoise

Here the word slow has been changed to an adverb and is now describing

how the tortoise walks

Let’s read some sentences with this suffix…

In the first sentence we find an adjective. In the second sentence the adjective has been changed to an adverb by adding ly.

The hare is quick.

The hare runs quickly.

The hare is quick.

The hare runs quickly.

It’s your turn…

Which word in the first sentence is the adjective?

Which word in the second sentence is the adverb?

The hare is quick.

The hare runs quickly.

Were you right?

Here the word quick is an adjective describing the hare

Here the word quick has been changed to an adverb and is now

describing how the hare runs

Let’s learn a rule for this suffix…

To be a spelling superhero, we need to learn a rule about adding the suffix ly to our root words.

Most of the time, we just add ly

but…

If the adjective ends with a y we change the y for an i

and then add ly

Let’s write some more adverbs using this suffix…

Can you add the suffix ly to the following adjectives?

Write them in your book, and then see if you were right!

noisy + ly =

angry + ly =

funny + ly =

sleepy + ly =

ly

Remember if the adjective ends in y

we change the y for an i and then

add ly

Did you get them all right?

Think carefully about how it has changed from an adjective to an adverb.

noisily

angrily

funnily

sleepily

noisy + ly =

angry + ly =

funny + ly =

sleepy + ly =

ly

Remember if the adjective ends in y

we change the y for an i and then

add ly

i

i

i

i

Now it’s your turn!

On today’s phonics worksheet you will find a list of adjectives. Your job is to change each adjective into an adverb by adding the suffix ly. Remember you

might need to use the rule we’ve learned if any adjectives end with a y!

Once you’ve changed all of the adjectives to adverbs, read through the sentences at the bottom of the worksheet and choose the best adverb to fill in

all of the blank spaces.

Let’s finish with a game on Phonics Bloom!

This week we’re going to play Suffix Factory!

Choose Set 2 ing, en, ly.

Click on ‘start’ and a box will appear with a root word and a suffix to add to the word.

There will also be an instruction as to what you need to do to the root word, you have to choose the tick if you agree or the cross if you disagree.

If you’re right the box will be driven away from the factory, if you’re wrong it will fall off the truck.

ly

We can add the suffix ly to the end of an adjective to change it into and adverb.

An adverb tells you how something happens

Today we’re going to look at how adding adverbs to our writing can make it more exciting!

We’re going to start by thinking about how adverbs change the meaning of sentences.

Find a space in your house or garden to walk around, and ask a grown up to call out thefollowing adverbs – see if you can walk in all of these different ways!

I’d love to see some photos or videos!

silently

noisily

quickly

slowly

heavily

lightly

happily

sadly

Can you think of any other ways you could move?Why not write a list of all the adverbs you can think of!

Let’s read the start of an adventure story…

The knight faced the dragon.

The dragon ran behind a rock.

The knight bravely faced the dragon.

The dragon quickly ran behind a rock.

Now let’s see if we can make the start to our story better by adding some adverbs…

brave Can you change this adjective to an adverb?

Write the new words in your book, and then see if

you were right!

quick Can you change this adjective to an adverb?

The knight bravely faced the dragon.

The dragon quickly ran behind a rock.

Were you right?

Now it’s your turn!

On today’s phonics worksheet you will find the whole of the adventure story that we’ve started reading.

Your job is to add the missing adverbs to the story by adding our ly suffix to the adjectives at the top and then writing them in the gaps in the story.

When you’ve finished read through the whole of the story again and then draw a picture of what happened when the knight went to fight the dragon!

4. What is an adjective?An adjective is a describing word.

5. What is an adverb?An adverb tells us how something happens.

Yesterday, we read a short adventure story about a knight and a dragon.

On today’s phonics worksheet I would like you to write your own short adventure story!If you would prefer, could you type a short adventure story on a computer?

Perhaps you could act it out and ask a grown up to film it?

However you decide to create your short adventure story there is one rule you must follow...

It must contain adverbs!

If you feel confident reading the story and writing it on your own that’s brilliant!But, if you want to ask your family to help, why not read and write the story together?

Writing stories is all about having fun!

Here is an example of what I am looking for (remember this could be hand written on today’s worksheet, typed on a computer, or filmed with you narrating the story):

Now it’s your turn!

Once upon a time there was a magical unicorn called Blue.He lived in a beautiful forest with all of his friends.

One day a fierce dragon crept silently into the forest. He had heard that Blue the unicorn had magical powers, and dragons don’t like other animals to have magical powers!

Luckily, some of the rabbits who also lived in the forest heard the dragon snorting angrily when he trod on a thorn.They hopped away quickly to warn Blue that there was a dragon in the forest!

Blue shook his mane and stamped his hooves bravely as the dragon approached him.The mean dragon laughed loudly. “Do you think I’m scared of you?” he roared. “I could eat you up in one gulp!”

But Blue had a secret power... his magical unicorn horn!

Blue closed his eyes and swished his tail proudly. His horn started to glow!It got brighter and brighter until it was shining so brightly that the dragon couldn’t see anything

apart from the dazzling, silver light. Dragons don’t like dazzling, silver light!

The dragon flapped his enormous wings wildly as he flew away from the forest and the dazzling, silver light.

Blue and his friends cheered happily. The dragon had gone!
