Week 5, lesson 2 Ship-Shape Words letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 4 - Worksheet

In the second lesson of Week 5, part of the Phonics Phase 4 curriculum, children are presented with an engaging worksheet titled "Ship-Shape Words." The focus of this activity is to refine the formation of tricky words, which the students have encountered before. The worksheet is designed to help children gain confidence in their handwriting skills by tracing and then independently writing each word. The list of words to be practised includes 'have', 'like', 'some', 'come', 'were', and 'there'. By tracing over these words first and then writing them out again, students reinforce their understanding and ability to form these common but sometimes challenging words accurately.

This letter formation activity is an excellent way for children to practise their penmanship, ensuring that they not only recognise these tricky words but also write them correctly. The exercise serves as a reinforcement of previous lessons, consolidating the students' knowledge and skills in reading and writing. The repetition of tracing and writing helps to embed the correct spelling and formation of each word in the students' memory, aiding in their overall literacy development. The worksheet is a practical component of the "All Aboard Phonics - Phase 4 Teacher Manual," which provides structured guidance for teaching phonics to young learners.
