Week 4, lesson 2 Tricky Word Treasures letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 4 - Worksheet

In the second day of Week 4's activities from the All Aboard Phonics Phase 4 curriculum, children are presented with a fun and engaging worksheet titled 'Tricky Word Treasures'. This exercise is designed to help young learners navigate through the complexities of certain English words that do not follow conventional phonetic patterns, often referred to as 'tricky words'. The worksheet encourages children to trace over these words, which include 'do', 'when', 'out', and 'does', helping them to familiarise themselves with the letter formations and spellings.

The 'Tricky Word Treasures' activity not only aids in reinforcing the spelling of these challenging words but also incorporates a delightful maze. As children trace each word, they progress through the maze, adding an element of adventure to the task. The goal is to successfully trace all the tricky words and find the path that leads to the treasure, symbolising the reward of mastering these words. This hands-on approach to learning ensures that children remain engaged while practising essential literacy skills, such as fine motor control for letter formation and word recognition.
