Phase 5 Unit 1 Tricky Words - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Resource

The All Aboard Phonics programme includes a teacher manual specifically tailored for Phase 5, Unit 1, which focuses on introducing students to a set of "tricky words." These are words that do not follow the usual phonetic rules and patterns, and therefore require special attention and memorisation. The first set of tricky words for this unit includes titles and common words such as 'Mr', 'Ms', 'Mrs', along with words like 'people', 'there', 'their', 'oh', and 'looked'. These words are essential for students to recognise and use correctly in their reading and writing as they progress in their literacy skills.

The manual continues with additional tricky words that students will encounter in Phase 5, Unit 1. This set comprises words commonly used in questions and past tense descriptions, including 'asked', 'could', 'would', 'called', and 'should'. The aim is to help children become familiar with these words, which often appear in text but can be challenging to decode using standard phonics strategies. By learning these words, students will enhance their reading fluency and comprehension, as well as their ability to express themselves clearly in writing.
