- Look at the words with ngk on slide 7. Write down ten more examples of words with the spelling ‘nk’ which sounds like ngk, e.g., ‘pink’. Make up phrases with them – both CV connections (‘pink elephant’ = ping kelephant) and CC connections (‘pink dress’ = ping kdress). Practice saying them out loud, resting on the ng sound.
- Write ten words with a V-C syllable shape ending in a friendly consonant sound, e.g. ‘own’. Make a natural phrase with each one meeting a consonant sound, e.g. ‘own goal’. Practice these friendly connections.
- Write ten words with a C-C syllable shape ending in a friendly consonant sound, e.g. ‘jam’. Make a natural phrase with each one meeting a consonant sound, e.g. ‘jam tart’. Practice these friendly connections.
- Say the words on slide 10 out loud. Find more words that fit each pattern, e.g. ‘climb’, ‘lamb’, ‘thumb’, and so on, then make a phrase with each one meeting a consonant sound. Practice these friendly connections.
