5 phonics

The five year olds have also been very busy in the literacy sessions. This term they are learning about alternative spelling and "Tricky words". Yesterday 5A were busy playing lots of games with tricky words. First we reviewed all sounds, then sang the high frequency word song. Then I told them a tricky word, they looked at it in pairs and then had to find it around the classroom. Then we did a similar activity on the carpet, this time orally. I told them the word and they had to find it. Finally, they told me a tricky word and then looked in books to find it. I am really impressed with how quickly they are learning. For some reason they find the words "many, before, and other" really funny! Here is a video of the activities:
