Week 24, lesson 5 High Frequency Words (house, too, old, by,day) - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

In the 24th week of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3, lesson 5 is dedicated to familiarising Year 1 students with high-frequency words that they are likely to encounter often in their reading and writing. The lesson begins with an introduction to the set of words for the session: house, too, old, by, and day. These words are selected for their commonality in the English language and are essential for building a strong foundation in literacy.

Following the introduction, the lesson moves on to a 'Quickwrite' activity where students are encouraged to practise writing these words rapidly, helping to cement their spelling and recognition. The teaching segment of the lesson then focuses on each word individually, allowing for in-depth discussion and understanding. Students are given the opportunity to practise writing and using these words through interactive 'Mini Whiteboard Work', which engages them in active learning. The lesson aims to ensure that by the end, students are not only able to read and write these high-frequency words but can also apply them confidently in their own sentences, enhancing their overall language proficiency.
