Week 25, lesson 4 Review Day - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

Week 25, lesson 4 is a Review Day that consolidates the learning from Phonics Phase 5, unit 3. The lesson begins with a brief introduction, setting the stage for a day of revision. The 'Back to Menu' option provides an easy navigation tool for revisiting the various components of the lesson. The first activity, 'Word Breaker', serves as a warm-up, challenging students to break down and analyse words, refreshing their understanding of phonics learned earlier.

The 'TEACH' section of the lesson focuses on reinforcing the pronunciation and spelling of specific words such as 'calf', 'harsh', and 'rather', which may present difficulties due to their unique phonetic combinations. Students then move on to 'PRACTISE' where they engage in a 'Countdown' activity, likely a timed challenge to help them recall and spell words rapidly. This is followed by further practice with a set of related words including 'hard', 'bar', 'car', 'march', 'palm', 'calm', 'half', 'balm', 'rather', 'father', 'grasp', 'class', and 'plant'. The 'Mini Whiteboard Work' provides an interactive opportunity for students to write and display their understanding of the words. The lesson concludes with an 'APPLY' section where students demonstrate their ability to use the phonics skills they have reviewed in new contexts, solidifying their learning from the day's activities.
