Week 27, lesson 3 Word Maze activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet

During Week 27, lesson 3 of Phonics Phase 5, unit 3, children are presented with a fun and engaging 'Word Maze' activity. This worksheet is designed to help students practice their phonics skills, specifically focusing on the sound /j/. As part of the activity, children are encouraged to read each word out loud and then trace over it to navigate through the maze and ultimately discover the treasure. This interactive approach not only reinforces their reading and pronunciation of words containing the /j/ sound but also provides an opportunity for handwriting practice.

The words featured in the maze include 'joyful', 'fudge', 'badge', 'danger', and 'wedge'. After completing the maze, the worksheet prompts students to further consolidate their learning by writing each word on the provided lines below the maze. This additional writing task ensures that children are able to recognise and spell the words correctly, reinforcing their phonemic awareness and spelling skills. The worksheet is a part of the comprehensive 'All Aboard Phonics' programme, which is tailored to support children in developing a strong foundation in phonics during Phase 5 of their learning.
