Week 8, lesson 5 HFW treasures - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In Week 8, Day 5 of the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2 curriculum, students encounter an engaging worksheet activity titled 'HFW Treasures'. This exercise is designed to help young learners become more familiar with high frequency words that they are likely to encounter regularly in their reading. The worksheet presents a fun and interactive challenge where students must trace a selection of high frequency words, which serve as stepping stones on a path through a maze that leads to a hidden treasure. The words included in this activity are 'know', 'he', 'you', 'was', and 'of'. After tracing these words, children are then encouraged to practice their writing skills by independently writing each word on the provided lines, reinforcing their spelling and handwriting abilities.

This worksheet not only aids in the recognition and memorization of common words but also combines learning with a sense of adventure and play. The maze adds an element of problem-solving, as students must navigate the correct path by following the sequence of words. By incorporating these high frequency words into a maze activity, children are able to associate the learning process with a positive and enjoyable experience, which can enhance their retention of the words and their overall enthusiasm for reading and writing. The activity is a part of the comprehensive 'All Aboard Phonics' program, which is structured to systematically develop young learners' phonics skills throughout the academic year.
