Week 11, lesson 5 High Frequency Words (all,we,can,are,great) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Lesson plan

In the fifth lesson of Week 11, as part of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2, students focus on the high frequency words 'all', 'we', 'can', 'are', and 'great'. The objective of the lesson is to review these words, ensuring that the students are familiar with both their pronunciation and usage. The class begins with a 'Word Breaker' activity where students are encouraged to segment each word into its individual phonemes and then blend them back together, reinforcing their phonemic awareness.

The teaching segment involves writing the high frequency words on the board, with students participating in decoding them and constructing sentences to demonstrate their comprehension. To make the learning process more engaging, a game is introduced where students work in pairs to quickly identify and call out the words as the teacher cycles through them. The practice stage includes a 'High Frequency Word Jump' game, where students must be alert and jump up when they see the designated word amongst a shuffled set of flashcards. This activity not only reinforces word recognition but also includes a physical element to maintain energy and enthusiasm. Finally, the lesson concludes with 'Mini Whiteboard Work', where students write down the words and phrases dictated by the teacher, allowing for individual assessment and the opportunity to apply their learning in a written context.
