Week 23, lesson 1, Fill the Blank activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet

The 'Fill in the Blank' worksheet from Week 23 Day 1 is designed to help Year 1 students enhance their phonics skills, specifically focusing on Phase 5 of the phonics programme. In this activity, children are encouraged to identify and fill in the missing letters for a series of incomplete words. This task not only tests their understanding of phonics but also aids in vocabulary building and spelling accuracy. Each blank line corresponds to a missing sound, and students must use their knowledge of phonics to deduce the correct letters that complete the word.

The worksheet presents a straightforward exercise where students are presented with partially spelled words like "u__c___", "f___", "sc____", "or___", and "th___". They are required to recall the phonetic sounds and patterns they have learned in order to fill in the blanks with the appropriate letters. This activity is an excellent way for children to apply their phonics knowledge in a practical setting, reinforcing their learning and helping to bridge the gap between phonemic awareness and fluent reading and writing. The worksheet is part of the comprehensive 'All Aboard Phonics' programme, which is structured to progressively develop children's phonics skills throughout the academic year.
