Common Exception Words - Set 8 - PowerPoint

Year 1 pupils are embarking on a spelling journey, focusing on common exception words, which are often referred to as 'tricky words'. These are words that defy the standard spelling conventions, making them challenging for children to spell. The lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation that aims to help students practise spelling these tricky words. It includes interactive activities where students are encouraged to use the words 'the', 'they', 'are', 'friend', and 'house' in sentences, thereby reinforcing their understanding and ability to spell these words correctly.

The lesson also features a guessing game where words are obscured, prompting pupils to recall and spell them from memory. This exercise helps solidify their recognition and spelling of the common exception words. Additionally, there are slides with spaceships named after these tricky words, and students are asked to identify the names, further integrating the spelling practice into an engaging activity. To conclude, there is a hands-on task where students cut out letters and arrange them to spell the tricky words within a time limit, providing a fun and educational challenge. Worksheets are also available for writing sentences with each tricky word, offering a practical application of what they've learned.
