Common Exception Words - Set 7 - PowerPoint

An interactive PowerPoint presentation has been crafted to support Year 1 pupils in mastering the spelling of common exception words, also known as 'tricky words'. These are words that defy the standard spelling conventions, making them challenging for children to spell and sound out. The presentation aims to provide students with the opportunity to practise spelling and using these words in sentences. It includes a variety of engaging activities where pupils are encouraged to read, spell, and incorporate these words into sentences of their own. The words covered in this set include 'one', 'once', 'here', 'where', and 'there'. Each word is explored in depth, with examples provided to demonstrate their usage in everyday language.

The PowerPoint also incorporates interactive elements such as guessing the covered word and using cut-out letters to spell the tricky words within a time limit. This approach is designed to make the learning experience fun and memorable. Additionally, the presentation includes colourful slides featuring bees named after the tricky words, which serve to further engage the students and help them associate the words with visual cues. Teachers are provided with notes to guide them through the order of activities and ensure a structured learning experience. The resource is complemented by flashcards and worksheets that allow children to write sentences using the tricky words, reinforcing their understanding and spelling proficiency.
