Lesson with a focus on ‘ge’
*Listen to these words and tell me which speech sound you can hear in all of
the words?
gentle, jam, large, giant, edge
*Slide - Now look at these words and work out the sound pics used for this
speech sound (g j ge g dge)
*Slide- Here are ALL of the sound pics for this speech sound (show cloud) – ge
is highlighted (and star plays speech sound). Look out for this sound pic, and
see if you can spot the other sound pics for that speech sound in words you
see on your morning tea snack packet.
*Slide- which is the odd one out? ( g represents ‘g’ as in gap – not the focus
speech sound)
*Slide – read as class – visualise - draw
*Start a class ‘j’ speech sound cloud in album- children draw pics, cut from
magazines or write words if able. Keep building the album throughout the
year.

After reading the text together, and pointing to the ‘j’ speech sound pics, ask
the children to close their eyes and visualise the scene.
The children now draw a picture showing how they visualised this piece of text.
