We’ve been exploring words ending in …tious and …cious for our spelling activity and next week these are the spellings we’ll be tested on.
- vicious
- malicious
- suspicious
- precious
- conscious
- delicious
- nutritious
- surreptitious
- conscientious
- cautious
- infectious
- fictitious
- ambitious
Ten words will be tested on Friday which could be from this list or could be in one of these word’s word family.
Word families are a great way to practise spelling: infect, infectious, infecting, infected, disinfect, disinfectant. Not only do I have to write the spelling pattern over and over again, but it also highlights that there’s a ‘t’ in all of these words therefore, I’ll use a ‘t’ for the …tious spelling.
