Week 5, lesson 3 Trawling for tricky words activity - Phonics Phase 3 - Worksheet

In Week 5, Day 3 of the Phonics Phase 3 programme, children embark on a literacy adventure titled "Trawling for Tricky Words." This engaging worksheet activity is designed to help young learners identify and practice writing tricky words—those that don't always follow the conventional phonetic rules. The task involves completing sentences with the correct tricky word from a given selection. Before filling in the blanks, children are encouraged to trace over the tricky words provided, aiding in the development of both their handwriting and word recognition skills.

The worksheet presents phrases with missing words, and children must choose the appropriate tricky word from the options presented in illustrated nets. For example, they might need to decide between words like "live" and "go" to correctly complete a phrase such as "boats _ at the dock." This activity not only reinforces the recognition and use of tricky words in context but also adds an element of fun through the theme of fishing for words, making the learning process more enjoyable and memorable for the students.
