Week 21, lesson 1 Word Sort activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3- Worksheet

In this phonics activity designed for Week 21, Day 1, students are tasked with sorting words based on the grapheme that represents a specific phoneme. The exercise is part of the Phase 5, Unit 3 curriculum, which focuses on enhancing students' understanding of different graphemes and the sounds they correspond to. The worksheet provides a list of words that students must categorize under the correct grapheme columns, which represent the same phoneme but are spelled differently. The graphemes featured in this lesson are 'ue', 'ou', 'ew', and 'u_e'.

The words provided for sorting are 'flew', 'glue', 'brute', 'group', 'rule', 'chew', 'soup', and 'cruel'. Students are encouraged to write these words under the correct heading, thereby reinforcing their ability to identify the sound and its associated spelling pattern. This activity not only helps in consolidating their knowledge of phonics but also aids in improving their spelling and reading skills. By engaging with the Word Sort activity, students become more familiar with the concept that the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes in written English.
