Letter D: PowerPoint and Worksheets: Lesson 4

About This Product

Learn Initial Sounds D: Lesson 4 teaches the letter Dd and its related phonic sound through a 26-slide PowerPoint lesson and 5 follow-up activity worksheets.

All you need to teach the phonic letter D! Whether in school or at home, this series of phonic presentations can help you teach initial/beginning sounds effectively to all pupils, including those with special needs/dyslexia.

This lesson is part of a synthetic, systematic phonics programme for all abilities including those suspected of being dyslexic.

This lesson is in the first stage of the Reading Made Simple programme where we teach the initial, or beginning, sounds.

The ability to hear the initial/beginning sound is stressed throughout, while we learn to associate each letter with its sound.

Each lesson can stand alone but the activities will presume knowledge of the previous letters in the alphabet as Reading Made Simple teaches the initial sounds in alphabetical order.

Special features of the Learn Initial Sounds D: Lesson 4

  • The PowerPoint is silent so that you can interact with your child in the best way for them: full instructions are provided at the bottom of each slide - be sure to show 'Notes'.

  • Science of Reading Aligned

  • Truly phonetic; no 'i' for 'ice-cream'.

  • We focus heavily on phonemic awareness which is so necessary for a head start in phonics

  • The child is given plenty of opportunities to learn the necessary skills - perfection is not expected in lesson 1 but the teacher will be looking for the development of the necessary skills as the child works through the alphabet.

What is included in the Learn Initial Sounds D: Lesson 4 pack?

  1. A 26-slide PowerPoint which teaches phonemic awareness, letter/sound correspondence and letter formation along with practice games

  2. 5 follow-up worksheets

How can the Learn Initial Sounds D: Lesson 4 be used?

It can be used in multiple ways:

  1. As the child learns each sound, you can use the PowerPoint lesson to reinforce your own lesson

  2. It can be sent home for a child to watch with his/her parents after being taught the letter Dd in class - this will then act as revision as well as training the parent as to what is necessary to help the child.

  3. Use in class

  4. Use at home by parents or for home education

Suggested Method:

  1. Introduce each letter in turn to your pupil. Have a flashcard of the letter ready.

  2. Say the sound each letter represents to the child and ask him/her to repeat it three times. Explain that some words begin with this sound. Give an example.

  3. Either use the lesson as teacher training for yourself to see how to teach your child, or use it with the child.

  4. Choose suitable activities (matching the ability of your child) from the pak of worksheets.

  5. Notes are suggestions only - use language appropriate to your pupil and be sure to interact naturally. However, do make sure that you focus on the hearing of the sounds at the beginning of words as this is much overlooked in the quest to help children learn the initial sounds as quickly as possible.

Technical help:

Use the PowerPoint in normal mode so that you can see the notes and use the 'Draw' tool when prompted.

Some slides are interactive.
