Patterns in Words – Foundation English Unit

Help Foundation learners become confident word-pattern detectives. This complete English unit builds phonological awareness by teaching children to recognise and generate rhymes, listen for repeated beginning sounds, create playful alliteration and clap one-, two- and three-syllable words.

The editable teaching presentation provides a clear lesson sequence with modelling, examples and quick oral checks. Two colourful displays support ongoing classroom reference, while the Pattern Path Board Game and Silly Sound Cards bring purposeful movement and word play into literacy rotations. Five low-ink worksheets provide focused practice, and every worksheet includes a matching answer page. A picnic-themed assessment and five-level rubric support consistent end-of-unit evidence.
