Week 9, lesson 1 Sound Gangplank matching activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In Week 9, Day 1 of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2, children embark on a fun and interactive 'Sound Gangplank' activity designed to reinforce their understanding of phonics. This task involves a creative scenario where the children are invited to imagine themselves on a boat, needing to construct a gangplank to disembark. The gangplank is made up of word "planks" which the children cut out and match with corresponding images. This hands-on approach not only aids in their phonetic learning but also enhances their fine motor skills through the cutting and matching process.

The words provided for the activity are carefully selected to align with the phonics phase being taught. For example, words such as 'bread', 'feather', and 'tea' are included for the children to work with. Each of these words corresponds to a specific image, and the children must find the correct pairings to successfully create their word chain gangplank. This activity offers a playful and engaging way for children to practice their phonics, helping to solidify their understanding of word and sound relationships in a memorable and enjoyable manner.
