Hello friends,
Yes, it took longer than expected to make my Jolly Phonics Group 5 worksheets. I was busy with some personal issues and lost track of time. I have promised myself to manage my time more efficiently from now onwards and I will be more diligent in making my worksheets.
So, this is group 5 which covers 3 letter sounds and the two forms of /oo/ sounds i.e. short and long. The short sound is how /oo/ sounds in the word ‘book’ and the long /oo/ sound is how it sounds in words like ‘moon‘. We also have our first digraph i.e. /ng/ (a digraph is a combination of two letters representing one sound). There is only one sound made by ng when we say the word ‘long’. Actually, /wh/ is also a digraph as it makes the same sound as /w/.
The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group (alternate spellings) taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store.
So, have a further peek inside my group 5 worksheets. They follow the same pattern as my previous Jolly Phonics worksheets. Group 5 covers the sounds: z, w, ng, v, short oo, and long oo. There are matching, coloring, writing, and blending activities.
Although my phonics fun app is a fantastic and free way of learning and practicing phonics, some children still prefer paper flashcards that they can touch. So, I have also published phonics flashcards that can be easily printed, cut, and used. Have a look at them here.
