Week 10, lesson 3 Tricky Word - Phonics Phase 3, - Presentation

In Week 10, lesson 3 of Phonics Phase 3, the focus is on the introduction and practice of a 'Tricky Word'. The lesson begins with an introduction where the tricky word of the day is presented to the students. This sets the stage for the activities to come, which are designed to reinforce the recognition and writing of this particular word, which does not follow the usual phonetic rules and thus requires special attention.

The lesson continues with a 'Quickwrite' revisiting activity, encouraging students to rapidly write the tricky word, reinforcing their memory and recall. The teaching phase then formally introduces the word 'what', a common tricky word for young learners. Students move on to a 'Tricky Word Race' practice activity, which makes learning interactive and fun, as they compete to identify or write the word correctly. Throughout the lesson, mini whiteboards are used for individual work, allowing students to apply what they've learned by writing the tricky word in various contexts. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up, signalling the end of the session and a return to the menu for the next steps in their phonics education.
