This week’s spellings are to do with unstressed vowels (vowels that you can’t hear very well in words).
For example:
- family – if we say this word, sometimes we might pronounce it”fam-ly” (without the i)
- library – we might pronounce “libr-ry” (without the a)
It’s important that children learn that words sometimes have vowels (and consonants!) that aren’t heard but must be included in their spellings.
