- Phase three and four application
Application of synthetic phonic knowledge and skills
Tehniyat is applying many tricky and high-frequency words from phase three, for example ‘we’, ’was’, ’the’ and ’they’. The phase three ‘oo’ phoneme is correctly shown in the word ‘room’ and in plausible attempts at the words ‘choose’ shown as ‘choos’ and ‘music’ shown as ‘moosit’. Additionally, she has spelt the phase four tricky word ‘were’ correctly and made a phonemically plausible attempt at the phase five tricky word ‘looked’ shown as ‘lookt’. The consonant–consonant–vowel–consonant (CCVC) word ‘drum’ is correctly spelt.
Interpretation
One sunny day we lost our Prize Box. We looked outside. We looked in the toilets. We looked in the theme room but it was not there. Chelsea and Alisha went to the music room but it was there it was behind the big drum. We cheered and we clapped and we were happy. Then we did choose a prize. Miss Perry’s class were happy and they were cheering and we clapped.
Child’s voice
I liked writing this, because it had a happy ending.
