Week 1, lesson 4 Spelling Tricky Words (he,she,we,me,be) - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

Week 1, Lesson 4 of the Phonics Phase 4 curriculum is dedicated to spelling tricky words, specifically the high-frequency pronouns 'he', 'she', 'we', 'me', and 'be'. The lesson begins by introducing these words to the class, emphasizing their importance and the fact that they do not always follow the common phonetic rules, hence being labelled as 'tricky'. The objective is to help students recognise and spell these words correctly through various engaging activities.

The lesson revisits previous learning by incorporating a 'Quickwrite' activity that involves writing these tricky words with correct capitalisation. This helps to reinforce the spelling while also giving attention to the use of uppercase letters at the beginning of sentences or for proper nouns. As the lesson progresses, students are encouraged to practise their spelling through the 'Write RACe' exercise, which adds an element of fun and competition to the learning process. By the end of the lesson, students are expected to apply their newly acquired spelling skills confidently and accurately. The lesson structure is supported by a series of slides, each designed to facilitate a specific part of the lesson, from introduction to application, ensuring a comprehensive and effective learning experience.
