Literacy- Tricky Words
Click on the picture above to see the list of tricky words and words that you can sound out!

Tricky Word Reveal– this game requires two pieces of paper. Write a word from the list on a piece of paper. Then, cover the word completely with the other piece of paper. Slowly, reveal the first letter of the word. Ask your child if they can guess what the word will be from looking at the first letter. Then move on to reveal the next letter etc.
Tricky Word Hunt- you could write a few of these words on pieces of paper and stick them up in a room in the house. Call out one of the words and your child can go and search for it.
Tricky Word Toss- this is a game that can be played outside but could also be played indoors. Write a few tricky words on pieces of paper. Spread them out on the grass.
Ask your child to throw something soft e.g. a ball/ an orange etc. onto a word. They then run out to the word that they landed on and they try to read it.
I Spy- similar to the “Tricky Word Hunt”. You could have a few words stuck up in a room. Tell your child ‘I spy a word beginning with t’, ‘I spy a word ending in e’ etc.
