This week we are spelling words with plurals. The children have to find twelve different spellings to fit the following rules.
Most nouns just add an s:
- envelope envelopes
Many nouns ending with a consonant and a y: drop the y for an i, then add es:
- family families
Nouns ending in a ‘s’ or other soft sound (ss, ch, x): add an es:
- dress dresses
- relax relaxes
- crutch crutches
Children will be tested on their twelve individual spelling and other words that have the same rule on Friday 23 November.
16 November 2012
This week the spelling chant to practise with your child is ‘drop the y for an i’. The adverb of these words is modified by adding either an er added or est at the end which changes the meaning. Children should learn all these words and see if they can come with some of their own.
| LO: drop the y for an i. | ||
| funnily | funnier | funniest |
| nastily | nastier | nastiest |
| crazily | crazier | craziest |
| greedily | greedier | greediest |
| angrily | angrier | angriest |
| cheekily | cheekier | cheekiest |
There’s another spelling rule used in the spellings this week. Can you spot which one it is?
