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

In the second lesson of Week 4, within the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, students are presented with a worksheet designed to enhance their understanding of the letter formation for the digraph 'ey'. This particular activity is aimed at reinforcing the correct placement of 'ey' within words, a key skill in developing reading and writing proficiency. The worksheet provides a set of incomplete words, each missing the 'ey' combination, which the students are tasked to fill in. Following this, they are instructed to draw a line connecting the corresponding image to the now completed word, thus enabling them to visually associate the word with its meaning and further cement their understanding of the 'ey' sound within words.

The activity is a hands-on approach to learning, encouraging students to actively engage with the material. By physically writing out the letters and making connections between words and images, the children can better retain the information presented. This type of exercise not only helps in improving letter formation but also aids in vocabulary building and comprehension. It is a practical way to reinforce the phonetic concepts taught in the lesson and provides a foundation for more advanced literacy skills. The worksheet is a part of the comprehensive 'All Aboard Phonics' programme that supports children in their journey to becoming confident readers and writers.
