Gobblefunk words
To promote the big read and celebrate the work of Roald Dahl, this week’s spellings are all words found in his books.
Children should learn how to spell these words in preparation for their final spelling test on Friday 15 July.
Although these are made-up words, your child be practising the skill of learning new words – a vital life skill. There are lots of rules in these words which apply to spelling real or made-up words. (‘Squibbling’, for example, is probably a verb, ‘to squibble’, and uses two key rules: ‘drop the e for i n g‘ and the always important ‘double up for short vowel sounds’.)
