Key Stage 2 Framework for languages

Learning objectives: Literacy - Year 3

L 3.2 Make links between some phonemes, rhymes and spellings, and read aloud familiar words   View this objective over 4 years >> Learning opportunities Pronounce accurately the most commonly used characters, letters and letter strings Read aloud a familiar sentence, rhyme or poem   Knowledge about language Understand how far letters/letters strings are both similar to and different from English   Language learning strategies Say words to a rhythm Practise saying new words under their breath Practise saying new words aloud   Teaching activities Listen carefully and start to recognise characters, letters and letter strings which are the same as or different from English, referring to a written version of the phonemes on cards or the board. The teacher writes several examples of the letter strings from different words and then says them with the children. Hold up or point to a card when they hear the sound or word, after they have become familiar with phonemes orally. Listen to the correct pronunciation of simple names, a rhyme, days of the week, objects, verbs. Say them accurately and then read them aloud. Recognise some words which are similar to English. Describe the similarities, e.g. number of syllables, number of vowels and consonants. Learn to spell their own name in the language; they know how many vowels and consonants there are in their names, and in familiar words. Learn to discriminate between vowels and consonants: each child has two cards, one saying vowel and the other saying consonant. The teacher shows and pronounces a series of letters – for each one they hold up a card showing whether they think the letter is a vowel or a consonant. Clap out the rhythm of familiar words and sentences. Play the Syllables Clapping game: from a given group of words, the teacher gives one, two or three claps, etc. and the children suggest which word(s) these could be. When playing the game with sentences or phrases, the rhythm of the words should be taken into account. Read aloud in chorus or individually a rhyme or poem when they are perfectly familiar with the correct pronunciation. Create word banks or collect words with particular sounds.
