Reasons to Love:

• Use these Tricky Word Wall Flowers to teach children the common exception words which do not fit the phonic pattern.

• When children are able to read these words automatically, their speed, fluency and confidence will develop as they apply phonics to other words.

• When the words have been taught, they can be added to the working wall, as a reminder of what they have been taught, and as a visual aid for spelling.
