Week 2, lesson 4 Spelling Tricky Words (was,my,live,you) - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

In week 2, lesson 4 of the phonics curriculum, students delve into the world of tricky words, focusing on the spelling of four specific words: 'was', 'my', 'live', and 'you'. The lesson is structured to gradually build the students' confidence and proficiency in spelling these words, which often don't follow conventional phonetic patterns. It begins with an introduction where the concept of 'Tricky Words' is presented, setting the stage for the learning objective of the lesson.

Following the introduction, the lesson revisits previous knowledge with a 'Quickwrite' activity that emphasises the use of capital letters. This warm-up serves to refresh students' memory and prepare them for the new content. The teaching segment of the lesson is then divided into two parts, where the words 'was' and 'you' are taught separately. This focused approach allows for a more in-depth understanding of each word. Students then move on to the 'Practise' phase, engaging in a 'Write RACe' activity designed to reinforce their learning in a dynamic and interactive manner. The lesson concludes with an 'Apply' section, which provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their grasp of the tricky words within the context of their writing. Throughout the lesson, a series of slides are used to guide the instruction, ensuring a clear and structured learning experience.
