### Lesson Outline:
**1. Introduction (5 minutes)**
- Greet the students and briefly explain what they will be learning today.

- Introduce the concept of "tricky words" and explain that these are words that don't always follow usual phonics rules.
**2. Sounding Out Tricky Words (10 minutes)**
- Show the flashcards one at a time.
- Pronounce each word clearly and have the students repeat after you.
- Conduct repetition drills by saying the words together, then individually.
**3. Identification of Tricky Words (10 minutes)**
- Show sentences on the board or on flashcards where the tricky words are used.
- Read each sentence aloud, emphasizing the tricky word.
- Ask students to identify the tricky word in each sentence. You can underline or highlight the tricky words for visual reinforcement.

- Have the students practice writing each word on their paper.
- Walk around the room to assist and ensure proper letter formation.
**5. Activity/Game for Reinforcement (5 minutes)**
- Play a quick matching game where students match tricky word flashcards to corresponding pictures or sentences.
- Alternatively, make a game by hiding tricky word flashcards around the room for students to find and read aloud.
**6. Closing and Review (5 minutes)**
