Week 23, lesson 4 Review Day - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

Week 23, lesson 4 serves as a Review Day for Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, and is designed to consolidate the students' understanding of the phonics concepts they have learned. The lesson is structured to begin with an introduction that sets the stage for the day's activities, guiding the students back to the menu of phonics topics that have been previously covered. This introduction is crucial for setting the context and preparing the students for a comprehensive review of the material.

Following the introduction, the lesson moves into the 'Revisit' phase, which includes activities such as the 'Word Breaker' game. This game is aimed at reinforcing the students' decoding and encoding skills by breaking down words into their component sounds. The 'Teach' segments of the lesson provide opportunities for direct instruction, where specific phonics rules or patterns are highlighted and explained to the students. During the 'Practise' phase, students engage in hands-on activities that allow them to apply what they have learned, often using tools such as mini whiteboards for individual work. The lesson concludes with an 'Apply' section, where students demonstrate their understanding and ability to use the phonics skills in reading or writing tasks. The end of the lesson serves as a reflection point, where progress is assessed and the groundwork is laid for future learning.
