Week 1, lesson 3 Tricky Word Treasures activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

The 'Tricky Word Treasures' activity is designed for young learners who are navigating through Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1. This worksheet is a part of the Week 1, Day 3 lesson plan and aims to help children master some of the more challenging words that do not follow the usual phonetic rules. It presents an engaging way for children to learn by tracing the words 'Mr', 'Mrs', and 'Ms', which are commonly used titles but can be tricky to read and write due to their unconventional phonetic structure.

After tracing these words, students embark on a fun and educational journey through a maze, which not only reinforces their recognition of these tricky words but also adds a sense of adventure to the learning process. The aim is to navigate the maze successfully by following the path of the traced words to ultimately reach the 'treasure' – a metaphor for the achievement of understanding these complex words. This activity is a creative approach to learning that combines literacy skills with problem-solving and fine motor development.
