Week 2, lesson 4 Letter formation activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the second week and fourth day of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, students are presented with a worksheet that focuses on the letter formation activity for the digraph 'ue'. This particular worksheet is designed to help children practice and reinforce their understanding of the 'ue' sound within words. The task is straightforward; pupils are required to fill in the blanks with the missing 'ue' to complete a series of words. This exercise not only aids in consolidating their knowledge of the 'ue' digraph but also enhances their spelling and reading skills.

The worksheet provides a list of partially completed words, where the commonality among them is the absent 'ue' sound. Children must identify the correct placement of 'ue' to form complete words. For example, they will see words like 'tiss_' and 'arg_' and must correctly transform them into 'tissue' and 'argue' respectively. Other words to be completed include 'bl_' and 'gl_', which upon the addition of 'ue' become 'blue' and 'glue'. This activity is both engaging and educational, helping young learners to become more familiar with the use of the 'ue' digraph in various words.
