This week’s spellings recap on all the rules for adding ‘ing’. Some of them may be spellings you’ve had before and some may be completely new to you.

The main focus of the learning is to ensure your child understands the rule. There is only one spelling list this week.

Can you come up with any more spellings that follow the rules for adding ‘ing’?

This week, the spellings are a mixture of the ‘ing’ rules:

• just add ‘ing’
• drop the ‘e’ for ‘ing’
• double up when there’s a short vowel sound

Children will be tested on eight out of the ten words on Friday 21 October.

Spelling Rule:

This week’s spellings all require your child to double up for short vowel sounds when adding ‘ing’.

The main focus of the learning is to ensure your child understands the rule. It’s up to your child which list they decide to do. However, it’s important they give themselves an appropriate challenge and don’t attempt a list which is neither too easy nor too difficult.

Can you come up with any more spellings that follow the rule?

This week we continue to look at words we need in maths.

These words will be tested on Friday 14 October.

30 September 2011

This is the second week of investigating the effect of adding ‘ing’ to words.

This week’s spellings are all words which have a short vowel sound before the final letter (think of the difference between the ‘o’ in hop – a short ‘o’ sound) compared to ‘hope’ (a longer sound, like ‘oh’).

When there’s a short vowel sound, you need to double up the final letter when adding ‘ing’.

Your child will be tested on eight out of the ten words on Friday 07 October.

Spelling Rule:

This week’s spellings all have an ‘ing’ at the end and replace the ‘e’ in the root word.

The main focus of the learning is to ensure your child understands the rule. It is up to your child which list they decide to do. However, it is important they give themselves an appropriate challenge and don’t attempt a list which is neither too easy nor too difficult.

The spellings will be tested on Friday 7th October.
