This week’s spellings are all to do with alternatives to the work said.
All of the verbs below can replace ‘said’. Using said can become repetitive, so it’s a good idea to have a variety of other words handy.
As usual, children will be asked to use one of these words in a sentence (this time a speech sentence!). Children know if they are group A, B or C.
