This week’s ‘Tricky Words’
The ‘Tricky Word spellings for this week are:
- was
- my
- you
- her
- they
24 June 2011
The spellings this week are all words which require a letter to be doubled up because of a short vowel sound just before.
For example: hopping. The short ‘o’ (different to the ‘o’ in ‘hope’) sound means that the ‘p’ must be doubled up. (If it was a long ‘o’ sound the word would be hoping and wouldn’t need a double ‘p’.)
Nouns and verbs should practise numbers 1-8. Adjectives and adverbs should practise 1-10.
- follow
- happy
- banning
- swimming
- batter
- spinner
- trigger
- different
- accommodation
Spellings will be tested on Friday 29 June. Practise hard!
