A fun Power Point to introduce the Phase 3 Tricky Word ‘you’ with reading opportunities within it and a writing task to print and complete at the end.
Writing task also goes towards some PSED assessment criteria- I got some great observations from discussions of it with the children.
*Children will need to have already learned tricky word ‘are’ to get the most out of this.
Fun presentation to teach the phase 3 ‘ow’ sound (ow as in cow).
Writing activity three ways- quick write on white boards or 2 differentiated worksheets to apply the sounds in words or sentences- depending on the evidence you need!
