Phase 5 Lesson Presentation: Longer Words
Support children to apply their Phase 5 phonics knowledge with this lesson presentation focused on reading and spelling longer words. Designed to match the progression followed in many schools, this PowerPoint helps pupils build confidence when decoding and segmenting polysyllabic words using known graphemes and tricky words.
Throughout the week, pupils are supported to:
- Blend and decode longer words with fluency and accuracy
- Segment multisyllabic words to support spelling and pronunciation
- Apply knowledge of previously taught graphemes in new word contexts
- Practise reading full sentences containing longer and more complex words
Perfect for whole-class phonics sessions, interventions, or small-group work, this Phase 5 presentation helps bridge the gap between simple phonics application and more fluent, independent reading.
Teaching tip: Encourage children to break longer words into syllables, blending each part before putting the whole word together to boost reading stamina and accuracy.
