Week 12, lesson 5 HFWs Treasures activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In this engaging phonics activity tailored for young learners, children embark on a literacy adventure that brings them one step closer to finding treasure. The task at hand is to navigate through a maze of high frequency words (HFWs), which are commonly encountered in reading and writing. The worksheet for Week 12, Day 5, presents a playful challenge where students must first trace a set of four high frequency words: 'my', 'her', 'what', and 'says'. This tracing exercise is designed to help children familiarise themselves with the shape and structure of the words, enhancing their handwriting skills and word recognition.

After successfully tracing each word, the children are then prompted to write them independently on the provided lines below the tracing section. This reinforces their understanding and ability to recall and reproduce the words without visual aids. By completing this activity, students not only practice their phonics and develop fluency in reading and writing these common words, but they also enjoy the thematic element of a treasure hunt, which adds excitement to the learning process. The worksheet is a component of the comprehensive Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2, designed to support children's literacy development.
