Week 31, lesson 1-5 Word Sort - Pairs activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet

In this engaging phonics activity, tailored for children in Phase 5, Unit 3, they are encouraged to work collaboratively in pairs to enhance their decoding skills and phonemic awareness. The worksheet for Week 31, spanning days 1 to 5, presents a 'Word Sort' task that focuses on vowel sounds and their corresponding graphemes. The children are provided with a list of words which they must carefully read and decode together. These words include 'blot', 'swap', 'more', 'cork', 'store', 'want', and 'yawn'.

Once the pairs have successfully decoded the words, they are tasked with identifying the specific vowel sound in each word and then connecting it to the correct phoneme or pictophone representation provided on the worksheet. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of different vowel sounds but also helps them to make visual connections between the sounds and their written forms. The hands-on nature of drawing lines to match words with their corresponding phonemes makes the learning process interactive and enjoyable, promoting a deeper understanding of phonics principles.
