Week 9, lesson 5 Trawling for HFWs activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In the Week 9, Day 5 phonics activity titled 'Trawling for HFWs' from the Phase 5 Unit 2 Teacher Manual of All Aboard Phonics, children are encouraged to engage with high frequency words (HFWs) through a fun and interactive worksheet. The task is designed to help students recognise and practise using words that appear often in reading and writing. The worksheet presents a fishing-themed exercise where children are invited to 'catch' the correct HFWs to complete given phrases. They are instructed to trace the words provided in the nets before fitting them into the sentences to ensure they become familiar with the shape and form of each word.

The activity consists of two phrases with missing words that the children must fill in using the high frequency word options provided. The first phrase starts with "She is _ the beach," where the blank needs to be filled with an appropriate HFW. The second phrase is "They eat pears _ breakfast," again with a blank to be completed with a word from the selection. The words given as choices are 'for' and 'on', which are found in the 'nets' on the worksheet. This engaging exercise not only reinforces the recognition and writing of high frequency words but also aids in understanding their context within sentences.
