Week 27, lesson 5 High Frequency Review Day - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Presentation

In the 27th week of a phonics programme, lesson 5 is dedicated to reviewing high frequency words as part of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3. The lesson begins with an introduction that sets the stage for a day focused on consolidating students' knowledge of words they encounter often in reading and writing. The structure of the lesson is clearly laid out with distinct sections designed to gradually build the pupils' confidence and proficiency with these common words.

The lesson continues with a 'Quickwrite Words' activity, which encourages students to revisit and quickly write down the high frequency words they have learned. This is followed by a teaching segment where specific words such as 'made', 'if', 'help', 'I’m', and 'time' are introduced or reinforced. Students then engage in a 'High Frequency Word Jump' exercise, which combines physical activity with learning to help cement the words in their memory. This is complemented by 'Mini Whiteboard Work', where children practice writing the words, allowing for hands-on learning. The lesson concludes with an application phase, providing an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding and use of the high frequency words in context, ensuring they are well-prepared to recognise and use these words in their daily reading and writing activities.
