Week 20, lesson 4 High Frequency Words - Phonics Phase 5, , unit 3- Presentation

The fourth lesson of Week 20 in Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, focuses on High Frequency Words, which are commonly encountered in reading and writing. The lesson begins with an introduction to these crucial words, setting the stage for students to enhance their reading fluency and comprehension skills. As a warm-up, the class revisits the 'Word Breaker' activity, which is designed to reinforce their ability to segment and blend sounds in words—a foundational phonics skill that aids in decoding unfamiliar words.

During the teaching phase of the lesson, the spotlight is on specific high frequency words: 'children', 'him', 'which', 'get', and 'just'. These words are carefully chosen to help students become more proficient readers. The practice component of the lesson involves interactive activities using mini whiteboards, where students have the opportunity to write and work with these words, reinforcing their spelling and recognition. The lesson concludes with an application activity, allowing students to demonstrate their understanding and use of the high frequency words in context, thereby cementing their learning and preparing them for the next steps in their literacy development.
