Week 17, lesson 3 Word Sort activity- Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet

In a phonics lesson tailored for those at Phase 5, Unit 3, students are tasked with a Word Sort activity that helps them understand different graphemes representing the same phoneme. The exercise is presented in a worksheet format and is designed to be both engaging and educational. The task requires the children to categorise a list of words according to the grapheme that corresponds to the target phoneme for the day. This activity not only reinforces their knowledge of grapheme-phoneme correspondences but also aids in enhancing their spelling skills.

The worksheet for Week 17, Day 3, lists a series of words such as 'pain', 'aim', 'flake', and 'rain', followed by 'game', 'day', 'eight', and 'crayon'. Students are instructed to sort these words under the correct grapheme headings: 'ai', 'ay', 'eigh', and 'a_e'. Each of these graphemes represents the same phoneme, and through this sorting exercise, learners can visually distinguish how different spellings can produce the same sound in words. This activity is a practical component of the 'All Aboard Phonics - Phase 5' curriculum, allowing for hands-on learning that reinforces the day's phonics lesson.
