This week’s spelling list all end in …tial or …cial.
We noticed that there is usually a vowel before the cial and a consonant (mostly ‘n’) before the tial. There are a couple of words that don’t follow this rule – these are the ones that we’ll need to practise most. Children are expected to practise these spellings in their books (there are lots of strategies at the back of homework books) and there will be a test on Friday 1 December.
