Week 10, lesson 3 Tricky word treasures letter formation - Phonics Phase 3, part 1 - Worksheet

In the third lesson of Week 10, young learners face an exciting challenge with the "Tricky Word Treasures" worksheet, an engaging part of the Phonics Phase 3 curriculum. This activity is designed to help children navigate the complexities of English spelling by focusing on words that do not always follow the conventional phonetic rules, often referred to as 'tricky words'. The worksheet encourages students to trace given words, enhancing their letter formation skills and reinforcing their recognition of these words.

The task is presented as a playful adventure, where the students must overcome the obstacle of tricky words to reach a treasure. They begin by tracing the word 'what', then move on to fill in the blanks for the same word in a partially completed form, practising their spelling in the process. To add to the fun, the worksheet includes a maze that the children must follow, which not only makes the learning process enjoyable but also aids in developing their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities. As they trace, spell, and navigate, the children are on their way to mastering tricky words and discovering the joys of reading and writing.
