Spelling Rule:

This week’s spellings all require your child to double up for short vowel sounds when adding ing’.

The main focus of the learning is to ensure your child understands the rule. It’s up to your child which list they decide to do. However, it’s important they give themselves an appropriate challenge and don’t attempt a list which is neither too easy nor too difficult.
