Week 19, lesson 4 High Frequency Words - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

The fourth lesson of Week 19 in Phonics Phase 5 focuses on high frequency words, which are crucial for developing reading fluency in young learners. The lesson is structured to gradually build the students' familiarity and confidence with these commonly used words. It begins with an introduction to the concept of high frequency words, ensuring that students understand the importance of recognising these words quickly and accurately. This sets the stage for the rest of the lesson, which is broken down into several interactive components designed to engage the students and reinforce their learning.

As part of the lesson, students revisit previously learned high frequency words with the aid of a 'Word Breaker' activity, which helps to refresh their memory and solidify their understanding. The teaching segment introduces new high frequency words such as 'come', 'into', 'will', 'back', and 'from'. These words are carefully chosen to expand the students' vocabulary and are presented in a way that encourages retention. Following the teaching phase, students are given the opportunity to practice the new words through a 'High Frequency Word Jump' activity, which combines physical movement with learning to enhance memory. Additionally, they engage in 'Mini Whiteboard Work', allowing them to write and visually reinforce the words. The lesson concludes with an application phase where students demonstrate their understanding and ability to use the new high frequency words in context. This structured approach ensures that by the end of the lesson, students are more confident in recognising and using these essential words in their reading and writing.
