Week 15, lesson 4 Sound Stepping Stones activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

In Week 15, lesson 4 of the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 2, students are presented with an engaging activity called Sound Stepping Stones. This worksheet is a part of the comprehensive "All Aboard Phonics" programme, which is tailored to enhance children's understanding of phonics. The task encourages students to apply their knowledge of phonics to distinguish between real words and nonsensical combinations of letters. The objective is simple yet educational: to identify and colour in the stepping stones that have real words written on them, as part of an imaginary journey to a new island.

The worksheet presents a series of words and pseudo-words, and it is up to the students to use their phonetic skills to discern which are genuine English words. Words such as 'small', 'pull', 'howl', 'volume', 'confuse', and 'with' are mixed with made-up terms like 'kie', 'oun', 'foo', 'toud', 'thon', 'treasuregath', and 'puse'. The children must carefully consider each word, colouring in the stones that represent real words, thus creating a path that leads to the next phase of their phonics adventure. This bonus revision worksheet not only consolidates their learning but also makes the process of revision fun and interactive.
