A whole school phonemic approach to spelling

Your key to spelling and reading success

Sound Waves is the only whole school phonemic word study program written by Australian teachers, for the Australian Curriculum and based on the sounds of Australian English.

The phonemic approach is recognised as one of the most effective ways to teach and learn spelling and reading skills. Sound Waves develops phonemic awareness through a systematic program for students from Foundation to Year 6.

Through the explicit teaching of the Sound Waves program, teachers assist students to develop an understanding of our language and the fundamental skills of spelling and reading.

Play Which Homophone?Students differentiate the homophones

being studied in this unit from their

homophone partners: need/knead,

story/storey, piece/peace, meter/metre.

Teacher gives a sentence containing one

of the homophones, and students decide

which homophone is being used.

Phoneme Name DetectivesStudents become Phoneme Detectives

as they listen for the phoneme and

identify whose name contains it. See

game instructions on page 191.

Identify the SoundAfter playing the Warm Up, ask three

or four students who have ee e ea y ey

in their name to stand and ask the

class what sound these names have

in common. Next, ask any other

students with ee e ea y ey in their

name to stand up. List the names

with ee e ea y ey on the board and ask

the class to identify how this sound

is represented in each name. Make

a list of the graphemes that can

represent ee e ea y ey .

BrainstormingBrainstorm and write on a chart

ee e ea y ey words, including students’

names. Include words with ee e ea y ey

as their initial, medial and/or fi nal

sound. Highlight the graphemes for ee e ea y ey in the words and list these

graphemes at the top of the chart.

Discuss with students how y and ey

are usually used at the end of words

to represent ee e ea y ey , and how eo, i

and ie represent ee e ea y ey in people,

litre and babies.

Brainstorm with the following

future reference. Remind students

Four in a Row – a game for 2 to 4 students.

Each student requires a set of counters of the same colour.

1 Stack the word cards face down beside the game board.

2 The fi rst student takes a card from the top and decides on the missing grapheme.

3 The same student then covers those letters on the game board with one of their counters.

The card is then returned to the bottom of the pile and the next student has a turn.

4 Students continue to take turns until one of them has four counters in a

row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Games are powerful teaching tools that keep students

interested in learning. Below, we’ve suggested some great

game ideas that are perfect for consolidating the concepts in

this unit. Kids love them!

Rhyming Competition (Rhyming)

Have a Rhyming Competition. Students can work in teams,

independently or in pairs to fi nd as many words as possible to

rhyme with dream, piece and cheese. See game instructions

on page 193.

Word Chain (List Words)

Students use the Word Chain cards on BLM GM33 to match

List Word beginnings and endings to make a chain of words.

See game instructions on page 199.

Four in a Row (Graphemes)

Students use BLMs GM28 and GM29 to match the words

with the correct ai ay a_e a and ee e ea y ey graphemes. See

game instructions on page 185.

What’s My Grapheme? (Graphemes)

Teacher gives a word and asks how a sound is represented

in that word. Use the List Words for this game, for example

‘What do I write for ee e ea y ey in chief? ’ See game instructions

on page 197.

Missing Grapheme Bingo (Graphemes)

Reinforce the spelling of the List Words with this game.

Students write eight List Words leaving a space in each word

for the grapheme that would complete each word. See game

instructions on page 189.

Unit 15

Students learn and work at different rates. The following

activities have been designed to challenge fast fi nishers.

Extra ChallengeThe ee e ea y ey Extra Challenge asks students to make a word

chain of ee e ea y ey words. The last letter of each word will

be the same as the fi rst letter of the next word, for example

sweep, piece, easy, yeast, teeth, heat, teacher, real.

Extension Idea 1Students create a Shopping List that contains only ee e ea y ey

words, for example cheese, green tea.

Extension Idea 2Students devise a safe way to remove a beehive from their

lounge room. See BLM EX16.
