Common Exception Words - Set 3 - PowerPoint

Within the realm of English teaching resources, there is a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation focused on Year 1 spelling, specifically aimed at practising common exception words. These are words that don't conform to standard spelling rules, often referred to as 'tricky words'. The presentation encourages young learners to understand and memorise the spelling of these words through a series of engaging activities. The lesson begins with an introduction to what common exception words are, followed by exercises where students are asked to use words like 'he', 'she', 'me', 'we', and 'be' in sentences to contextualise their learning.

Further interactive activities include challenges where words are covered, prompting students to recall and spell them without visual aids. Teachers read out these tricky words, and students are then tasked with spelling them correctly. To add a fun twist, the presentation includes slides with birds named after the tricky words, and students must answer questions related to them. The lesson is supported by cut-out letter worksheets and flashcards to assist in the learning process. Lastly, the PowerPoint provides a worksheet where students must write sentences using each of the tricky words, reinforcing their understanding and ability to use these words in proper context.
