There will be no new words to learn this week. Instead, there will be SATs style spelling tests of words that the children are unfamiliar with. I suggest children spend time each night looking through old spelling lists and trying to remember rules, especially:
- drop the ‘e’ for ‘ing’ eg hope / hoping, accommodate / accommodating
- drop the ‘y’ for ‘i’ eg happy / happiness, fury / furious
- double up for short vowel sounds eg diner / dinner, coma / comma
Spelling tests will be given at several points in the week.
