This week’s spellings are time connectives. We’re using them as openers to sentences in our new literacy unit. That’s why they all start with a capital letter and have a comma at the end of the word.
Spellings will be marked wrong if the capital letter and comma aren’t present! They will be tested on Friday 21 January.
1. Before,
2. After,
3. Then,
4. Later,
5. Just then,
6. Finally,
7. Next,
8. Suddenly,
9. Meanwhile,
10. Afterwards,
Can you think of any more time connectives?
