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

In Week 17, Lesson 5 of the Phonics Phase 5 curriculum, students focus on mastering High Frequency Words. The lesson is designed to strengthen their ability to recognise and write common words that they will encounter frequently in their reading. The lesson begins with an introduction to the High Frequency Words for this session, setting the stage for the activities that will follow.

The lesson then revisits previously learned words through a 'Quickwrite Words' activity, where students are encouraged to write the words quickly to reinforce their memory and spelling skills. The teaching segment introduces new High Frequency Words such as 'down', 'it’s', 'big', 'when', and 'dad'. Students practise these words through an engaging 'High Frequency Word Jump' activity, which combines physical movement with learning to enhance retention. To apply their new knowledge, students use mini whiteboards for hands-on practice, writing out the words and using them in context, which aids in cementing their understanding. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up of the activities, ensuring that the students have a firm grasp of the High Frequency Words taught in this unit.
