Week 19, lesson 2 Word Sort activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet

In this phonics activity designed for Week 19, Day 2, students are tasked with sorting words based on the grapheme that represents the target phoneme. The exercise helps children to distinguish between different graphemes that can make the same sound in words. Students will sort a list of words into categories according to the specific grapheme used for the phoneme 'ie' sound, such as 'ie', 'y', 'igh', and 'i_e'. This activity is an effective way to reinforce their understanding of the Phase 5 phonics they have been learning.

The worksheet presents a list of words including 'cried', 'why', 'light', 'crime', 'fine', 'high', 'pie', and 'reply'. Students are required to write these words under the correct heading that matches the grapheme for the 'ie' sound in each word. For instance, 'cried' would be written under 'ie', while 'why' would fall under 'y'. This word sort activity is a practical way to encourage students to recognise and apply their knowledge of phonics, aiding them in their reading and spelling proficiency. The worksheet is part of the comprehensive All Aboard Phonics program, specifically from Phase 5, Unit 3 & 4 Teacher Manual.
