Week 12, Tricky Word Treasures - Phonics Phase 3, - Worksheet

The 'Tricky Word Treasures' worksheet is an engaging activity designed to help Year 1 students in their 12th week of learning with Phase 3 phonics. The worksheet presents a fun challenge where students are on the cusp of discovering treasure, but to reach it, they must navigate through a selection of tricky words. These words are common in the English language but do not always follow standard phonetic patterns, making them more challenging for children to decode using their phonics knowledge alone.

The worksheet lists the words 'are', 'we', 'me', 'was', 'all', and 'you', which the students are instructed to trace. This helps in reinforcing the spelling and recognition of these words through repetition and motor memory. After tracing, the students must then use these words to guide them through a maze, combining literacy learning with a fun puzzle. This activity not only aids in the consolidation of tricky words but also provides an opportunity for students to practice their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
