Week 5, lesson 2 Tricky Words Review Day - Phonics Phase 4 - Presentation

The second lesson of Week 5 in Phonics Phase 4 is dedicated to reviewing tricky words. The session is designed to reinforce the students' understanding and recall of words that do not conform to regular phonetic rules. The lesson begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the day's focus: revisiting and practicing tricky words. This is an essential part of phonics learning, as it helps children to read and write words that they cannot decode through phonics alone.

During the lesson, the class engages in a 'Quickwrite' activity to revisit the tricky words they have previously learned, allowing for immediate practice and reinforcement. This is followed by two interactive activities: 'Tricky Word Jump' and 'Tricky Word Race', both of which are designed to make the learning experience fun and engaging. These activities encourage the children to physically move and compete, which not only helps to cement their recognition of tricky words but also caters to different learning styles. The lesson then moves on to 'Mini Whiteboard Work', where students apply their knowledge by writing the tricky words, providing a more focused and individualised learning opportunity. The lesson concludes with a review of the key points covered, ensuring that students are ready to move on to the next phase of their phonics learning.
