Many children in the class had spelling as a target on their Learning Updates. Here’s some more information and lists of words to practice with your child.
Things you can do to help:
- Practise the spelling list which come home each week before the Friday test.
- Look back at lists from previous weeks and test your child on a few of these so that they’re revisiting the rules.
- Read lots. This exposure to words will have a positive effect on spelling.
- Keep talking about and practicing homophones. Click here for the lists.
- Be aware of the Y3,4 National Curriculum spelling lists. Many of these will be covered in the lists across Year 3 and 4 but it’s good to have them all in one place.
- Finally, we still have Lexia which helps with reading and spelling at KS2 as well as KS1.
Also, here is the Spelling Strategies document which gives you some different ways of practicing and learning spellings.
