Week 5, lesson 2 Word Sort - Pairs activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the second lesson of Week 5, young learners are presented with a phonics activity designed to help them understand the usage of the grapheme in different words. Working in pairs, students are provided with a worksheet that encourages collaborative learning and decoding skills. They are tasked with reading a list of words that include 'tube', 'tune', 'mute', 'rule', and 'June', all of which feature the grapheme.

During the Word Sort - Pairs activity, children are instructed to carefully decode each word to identify the sound that the grapheme makes. Once they have sounded out the words, they must draw a line connecting the word to the corresponding phoneme or pictophone representation of the sound. This hands-on activity not only reinforces their understanding of phonics but also enhances their ability to associate graphemes with their phonetic counterparts, which is a crucial step in their reading development journey.
