In Week 13, Day 2 of the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2 curriculum, the 'Word Sort' worksheet is an engaging activity designed to help Year 1 children practice their decoding skills. The task requires children to work individually or in pairs to carefully read a list of words containing the or graphemes. After decoding each word, they must then match it to the correct phoneme or pictophone representation. This exercise is not only fun but also reinforces their understanding of how different graphemes can represent the same sound in various words.
The words provided for this activity include 'could', 'books', 'school', 'moon', and 'shook'. As children work through the worksheet, they will discover that the and graphemes can produce different sounds depending on the word. For example, the in 'moon' sounds different from the in 'books'. This activity is a practical step in helping children to grasp these nuances in phonics, which is crucial for their reading development. The worksheet is a component of the comprehensive 'All Aboard Phonics' program, which aims to build a strong foundation in literacy for young learners.
