Following the introduction, the lesson revisits previously learned tricky words through a 'Quickdash' activity, which serves as a warm-up and reinforces prior learning.

This hands-on approach helps to solidify their understanding. The 'APPLY' stage encourages students to use the "th" sound in context, further embedding the phoneme in their skillset.
