Week 3, lesson 4 Aye-Aye Caption activity) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the Week 3, Day 4 phonics lesson from Phase 5, Unit 1, children are introduced to new 'tricky words' through an engaging 'Aye-Aye Caption' activity. The task is designed to help students practice reading captions and associating them with corresponding images. The worksheet provided for this activity prompts children to read each caption carefully, paying special attention to the challenging words that may not follow regular phonetic rules. Once they have read the caption, they are instructed to draw a line connecting it to the correct image, thereby reinforcing their comprehension and word recognition skills.

The worksheet includes captions such as "He looked at the toy" and "She called out and asked the teacher," which contain tricky words that the children are encouraged to trace. This tracing exercise aids in familiarising students with the shape and spelling of the tricky words, making it easier for them to recognise and recall these words in future reading exercises. The Aye-Aye Caption activity is a fun and interactive way for students to enhance their phonics skills, particularly in identifying and understanding words that don't always follow the expected phonetic patterns.
