Week 17, lesson 4 Spelling High Frequency Words - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- presentation

In the fourth lesson of Week 17, focused on Phonics Phase 5, students embark on a journey to master spelling high-frequency words. The lesson is strategically structured to enhance their spelling skills through a series of engaging steps. Initially, the lesson revisits the 'Word Breaker' activity, which serves as a warm-up to refresh the students' memory and prepare them for the new spelling challenges ahead. This activity is designed to break down words into their constituent sounds, aiding in the recognition and spelling of complex words.

As the lesson progresses, the teaching phase introduces a set of high-frequency words, including 'were', 'go', 'little', 'as', 'no', which are crucial for the students to learn due to their common appearance in the English language. The students then move on to practising these words with a 'Countdown' activity, which not only reinforces the spelling but also adds a fun, timed element to the learning process. Further practice involves an expanded list of words such as 'their', 'looked', 'could', 'the', 'he', 'they', 'all', 'are', 'what', 'have', 'out', 'like', 'them', 'do', and 'no', ensuring a comprehensive approach to spelling. Finally, students apply their newly acquired knowledge by writing the words on mini whiteboards, providing a hands-on and interactive way to consolidate their learning. The lesson concludes with a sense of accomplishment as students demonstrate their understanding and retention of high-frequency words.
