Week 2, lesson 2 Tricky Words (have,like,some,come) - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

In the second lesson of Week 2, the focus is on mastering tricky words during a Phonics Phase 4 session. The lesson begins with an introduction to the tricky words for the day, which includes 'have', 'like', 'some', and 'come'. These words are often challenging for young learners because they do not follow the common phonetic rules that have been taught thus far. The lesson continues with a 'Quickwrite' activity, where students revisit previously learned tricky words to refresh their memory and reinforce their understanding.

As the lesson progresses, the teaching phase involves explicitly focusing on the new set of tricky words, ensuring that students understand how to read and write 'have', 'like', 'some', and 'come'. This is followed by a 'Tricky Word Race' where students engage in a fun and interactive practice activity to help them become more familiar with these words. To apply their knowledge, students then match captions to pictures, further embedding the tricky words in context. Sentences such as 'I have come for some butter' and 'I like plums' are used to demonstrate the words in everyday language. Finally, students consolidate their learning by writing the tricky words on mini whiteboards, allowing for individual practice and teacher assessment. The lesson concludes with a sense of achievement, as students become more confident in recognising and using these tricky words in their reading and writing.
