Phonemic awareness<br />
Phoneme categorisation activities – 2<br />
Same middle sound<br />
This activity will assist pupils in identifying words that sound the same or different.<br />
1. Similar to the activity on page 10, pupils are asked to identify the word in a set that does not sound<br />
the same as the others. In this game, however, have pupils listen <strong>for</strong> words with the same middle<br />
sounds.<br />
2. Say three words with the same sound and one with a different sound—<strong>for</strong> example, lap, man, cot<br />
and ran.<br />
3. Ask the pupils to explain how the word is different.<br />
Sound categorisation<br />
This learning centre activity provides pupils with ongoing practice in categorising sounds in words.<br />
Materials<br />
• cards on pages 12–14<br />
• scissors<br />
• resealable plastic bags<br />
1. Photocopy the cards on pages 12–14 and cut them out.<br />
2. Colour the cards and laminate them <strong>for</strong> durability.<br />
3. Place each set of three cards in a resealable plastic bag and place funny<br />
the bags in a learning centre.<br />
4. To play, a pupil takes the cards out of a bag, reads the words and<br />
determines which have the same sounds and which word is<br />
different.<br />
5. Have the pupil identify how the words are the same and different.<br />
6. The pupil continues in this manner with each set of words. Encourage<br />
pupils to work together to assess one another’s progress.<br />
