This week’s spellings are slightly different. Instead of a list of words, I simply want your child to be able to distinguish between the two forms of no:
no – For example: No, I don’t want to play.
know – For example: I know my times tables.
We’ll be looking at this through the week, but if you could practise these activities at home it will ensure your child has a thorough understanding:
- On piece of paper, write no on one side and know on the other. Read out a sentence and they have to show the correct no.
- Have some sample sentences where they write the correct form of no. For example:
- I know my spellings. (know)
- There is no way through. (no)
If you have any questions, feel free to speak with me any time.
