Week 6, lesson 1 Tricky Words (I,go,no,of) - Phonics Phase 2 - Presentation

In Week 6, Lesson 1 of Phonics Phase 2, young learners are introduced to a set of tricky words that do not follow the usual phonetic rules: "I," "go," "no," and "of." The lesson begins with a revisiting of these words, where students are encouraged to quickly write them down, reinforcing their spelling and recognition. This activity serves as a warm-up, preparing the students for the new learning ahead.

During the teaching phase, the focus is on the words "I," "no," "go," and "of." Students are taught the correct pronunciation and usage of these words, which often prove to be challenging because they cannot be decoded using regular phonetic strategies. To practice, an engaging "Tricky Word Race" is included, turning learning into a fun and competitive activity. Students then apply their new knowledge by writing the words on mini whiteboards, allowing for hands-on practice and immediate feedback. The lesson concludes by revisiting the tricky words, ensuring that students are confident in recognising and using them correctly in their reading and writing.
