Week 18, lesson 4 High Frequency Words - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- presentation

The lesson plan for Week 18, Lesson 4, focuses on High Frequency Words within Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3. The lesson begins with an introduction to the key focus of the session, which is to familiarise students with commonly used words that they will encounter frequently in their reading and writing. The lesson structure is designed to move through a series of steps that gradually build the students' confidence and ability to recognise and use these words effectively.

After the initial introduction, the lesson revisits previous learning with an activity called 'Word Breaker', which helps to reinforce students' existing knowledge and warm them up for the new content. The teaching phase of the lesson introduces new high frequency words, specifically focusing on the words 'see', 'word', 'very', 'look', and 'don’t'. Students are encouraged to engage with these words, looking at their spelling and pronunciation. The practice phase involves interactive activities such as using mini whiteboards, where students can write the words, enhancing their ability to remember and use them correctly. The application of these high frequency words is the final goal of the lesson, ensuring that by the end, students can recognise and apply these words in their reading and writing. The lesson concludes with a review of the content covered, consolidating the learning objectives of the session.
