Common Exception Words - Set 6 - PowerPoint

An engaging PowerPoint presentation has been crafted for Year 1 students to help them tackle the challenge of spelling common exception words, also known as 'tricky words'. These are words that do not conform to standard spelling rules, often causing learners to stumble as they do not sound the way one might expect. The lesson is structured to provide practice in spelling and using these words within sentences. By focusing on a select set of words, the lesson aims to build confidence and familiarity with these linguistic anomalies.

The interactive nature of the PowerPoint encourages students to actively participate by using the words 'no', 'go', 'so', 'some', and 'come' in their own sentences. This exercise not only aids in memorising the spellings but also enhances their understanding of the words' context within language. To further embed learning, the presentation includes activities where the words are concealed, prompting students to spell them from memory. The lesson culminates with a hands-on activity involving letter cut-outs, where students race against time to spell the tricky words, thereby reinforcing their learning in a fun and dynamic way.
