Week 1, lesson 4 Letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 -Worksheet

During Week 1, Day 4 of the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, students are introduced to a letter formation activity that focuses on the 'ie' sound. This particular worksheet provides an engaging way for children to practice their handwriting skills while also reinforcing their understanding of the 'ie' digraph. The worksheet is designed with pairs of 'ie' for students to trace, helping them to become familiar with the formation of these letters when they appear together in words.

The interactive element of the worksheet involves a fun matching exercise. Children are presented with two words containing the 'ie' sound – 'tie' and 'pie'. Below these words are images corresponding to each. Students are instructed to draw a line connecting each word to its matching image. This not only helps in consolidating their knowledge of the 'ie' sound but also supports the development of their reading and comprehension skills as they associate the written word with its visual representation.
