This week’s spellings are again all to do with the rule – ‘Drop the y for an i

This time, we’re considering how words ending in ‘y’ change when used in the past tense as well as other changes. Children will find their spellings easier to learn if they learn the ‘root’ word, such as carry, then remember how to change each root, rather than learning the spelling of each word separately.
