Understanding Sounds and Letters

Mrs. Ferguson's lesson focuses on phonics, specifically segmenting sounds in words, distinguishing between 'ch' and 'j' sounds, and practicing the 'ch' sound in writing. The lesson includes a warm-up song, a game to identify 'ch' sounds, and exercises to write and match words with pictures. Students learn to segment words into individual sounds and differentiate between similar sounds in minimal pairs.
