Week 20, lesson 2Word Sort activity- Phonics Phase 5, unit 3- Worksheet

In the second day of Week 20's lesson, students are engaged in a 'Word Sort' activity, which is a part of the Phonics Phase 5 curriculum. This exercise is designed to help children differentiate between various graphemes that represent the same phoneme. The worksheet provided for this activity presents a list of words that the students must categorise according to the grapheme that corresponds to the phoneme in question.

The words to be sorted include 'flow', 'loaf', 'don't', 'snow', 'toe', 'Joe', 'no', and 'croak'. The students are tasked with writing these words under the correct grapheme columns labelled 'o', 'ow', 'oe', and 'oa'. This task aids in reinforcing their understanding of how different letter combinations can produce the same sound in words. It's an essential skill in phonics that helps with both reading and spelling. The activity not only enhances their phonemic awareness but also provides practice in handwriting as they write out the words under the appropriate headings.
