Week 5, lesson 5 Letters Lost at Sea activity - Phonics Phase 4 - Worksheet

In the engaging 'Letters Lost at Sea' activity, designed for young learners in Phonics Phase 4, children are tasked with a fun challenge of spelling out words that have been partially 'washed away' by the waves. This worksheet, intended for Week 5, Day 5, presents students with the beginnings of words, providing only the first letter for the initial two words. The exercise encourages children to use their phonics knowledge to reconstruct the missing parts of the words. A helpful letter bank is included at the bottom of the page to assist them if they find themselves struggling.

The activity not only tests the children's ability to spell but also pushes them to recall and apply what they have learned about letter sounds and word formation. For an added challenge, the final word must be spelled out entirely by the student without the aid of the letter bank, encouraging independent thinking and reinforcing their learning. This fun and interactive task is a creative way to enhance literacy skills and build confidence in young readers and writers.
