Wow! I can’t believe it’s December already.
This week’s spellings are again to do with common strings of letters that might sound different depending on the word that they’re in. Children have been assigned group A, B or C spellings, which are designed to meet their needs more specifically.
We’re concentrating on the ‘ough’ string as well as ‘our’.
I will be asking for one of the words to be written in a sentence. The examples below have more than one word in each sentence, but it’s just to give an idea of how you could revise the spellings quickly!
- I’ve ploughed through enough tough soil.
- I heard a rumour from your neighbour that you have a new colour armour.
