Week 9, lesson 2 Word List activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In the second day of Week 9's phonics activities, students in Phase 5, Unit 2 are presented with a Word List activity. This engaging task is designed to help them explore the varied sounds and spelling patterns they've been learning about. The list includes a selection of words that challenge the students to identify and pronounce different phonemes and to understand how letters can represent different sounds in various words. The words for this activity are 'rice', 'cape', 'chemist', 'bread', 'chimp', and 'beach'. Each word has been chosen to illustrate specific phonetic concepts and to encourage students to practice their decoding skills.

The activity involves the children reading through the Word List, where they can focus on the pronunciation and spelling of each term. 'Rice' and 'cape' provide examples of the 'ice' and 'ape' sounds, while 'chemist' and 'bread' offer contrasting sounds within similar word structures. 'Chimp' and 'beach' are included to highlight the different 'ch' sounds that can occur at the beginning and end of words. This exercise not only reinforces the students' phonics knowledge but also aids in expanding their vocabulary. Teachers use the accompanying manual to guide the lesson, ensuring that each child can confidently navigate through the sounds and spellings of these words.
