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

The third lesson of Week 3 in the Phonics Phase 3 programme is dedicated to introducing and practicing 'Tricky Words'. These are words that do not follow the common phonetic rules and therefore require special attention. The lesson begins with an introduction to the concept of tricky words, ensuring that students understand why these words are different from the ones they have encountered so far. After the introduction, the lesson transitions back to the main menu, indicating the structured approach to learning.

During the 'Revisit' stage, students participate in a 'Quickwrite' activity, which serves as a warm-up to refresh their memory on previously learned content. Moving on to the 'Teach' phase, the lesson focuses on the tricky words 'he' and 'she'. These words are taught explicitly due to their non-phonetic spelling patterns. In the 'Practise' part of the lesson, students engage in a 'Tricky Word Race', which is designed to be a fun and interactive way to reinforce their recognition and recall of these tricky words. Finally, the 'Apply' phase involves using the words in context, where students are encouraged to draw a phrase containing the tricky words, allowing them to understand the words' usage in language. The lesson concludes by returning to the main menu, signalling the end of the session.
