Week 1, Guided Reading "Fin the Fish" - Phonics Phase 4 - Worksheet

The "Fin the Fish" worksheet is a part of the Phase 4 phonics guided reading activities designed for young learners. It comes with a set of comprehension questions that aim to enhance the students' understanding of the story. Children are encouraged to engage with the text by answering questions such as identifying the title, exploring the emotions of the character Fin, and discussing the places Fin dreams of visiting. Further inquiry into Fin's decisions and predictions about the story's continuation are also encouraged, stimulating critical thinking and imagination.

In addition to the comprehension questions, there are bonus questions that connect the story's themes to the children's personal experiences, such as discussing their dream destinations and reflecting on the saying 'the grass is always greener on the other side'. These questions are designed to foster deeper conversations and personal connections to the text. To complement the reading, there are suggested activities including a worksheet where children help Fin navigate back to his friends through a pond maze, quiet reading time to practice fluency and comprehension independently, and a water tray activity that allows for interactive, hands-on learning. These varied activities cater to different learning styles and help reinforce the phonics skills being taught in Phase 4, Week 1.
