Week 11, lesson 4 Review Week: Tricky Words (we,me,be,he,she,was,my,live,you,they,are,all,what) - Phonics Phase 3 - Lesson plan

In a phonics lesson tailored for young learners, the focus is on revisiting and consolidating their understanding of tricky words encountered in Phase 3 of their learning journey. The objective of the session is to review these words, which include 'we', 'me', 'be', 'he', 'she', 'was', 'my', 'live', 'you', 'they', 'are', 'all', and 'what'. The lesson begins with a sing-along of the Alphabet Song, encouraging children to visually identify each letter as they sing, reinforcing their letter recognition skills.

Following the song, the lesson moves on to interactive and engaging activities designed to practice and apply the tricky words. The 'Tricky Word Race' involves using flashcards to prompt the children to sound out and then quickly say the tricky words, adding an element of friendly competition by dividing the class into teams. The 'Quickwrite Tricky Words' activity allows children to write the words on whiteboards upon dictation, promoting recall and writing skills. The 'Yes/No' game is a comprehension exercise where children decode phrases and use YES or NO cards to respond to questions, integrating understanding within their phonics practice. For those ready for further challenges, extension activities such as using magnetic letters and printing are suggested, providing a variety of methods to engage with and master the tricky words.
