Week 2 lesson 3 Tricky words - Phonics Phase 3 - Presentation

In the third lesson of Week 2, focusing on Phonics Phase 3, young learners are introduced to tricky words that often pose challenges in reading and writing. The lesson begins with a quick revision exercise where students participate in a 'Quickwrite' activity, refreshing their memory of words they've learned previously. The teaching segment of the lesson introduces new tricky words such as 'we', 'me', and 'be', which do not follow the usual phonetic rules and therefore require special attention.

Following the introduction of these tricky words, the lesson moves into a 'Tricky Word Race' where students engage in a fun and interactive practice session to reinforce their recognition and recall of these words. The application phase of the lesson involves students in various activities that incorporate the new tricky words into sentences, such as "Can a cat yell?" and "Can we get in a van?" These exercises help students understand the context in which these words are used. The lesson concludes with an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding by writing the tricky words on mini whiteboards, ensuring they have grasped the spelling and usage of these words before ending the lesson and heading back to the main menu.
