Watch: Phase 3 tricky words
Watch the animation and learn about the Phase 3 tricky words with the Phonics Wizards!
Presenter 1: When the words get tricky, phonics get all sticky, blending them together doesn't work the same.
You can see that all tricky words don't look the way they should be heard.
Presenter 2: Before you say them you can see.
Presenter 1: They don't break down phonetically.
Start with 'i', the smallest of them all, 'i' becomes 'I' and it grows up big and tall.
Teeth and tongue just lead the way, open wide and hear me say, 'm-e', that's 'me'. 'W-e' that's 'we'. 'T-h-e-y' why 'they'. So many tricky words like 'was', 'you', 'me' and 'they' and 'her'.
Open wide and say with pride, tricky words go go yeah!
