This week, we’d like you to practise spelling words that contain the ‘ay’ sound. What makes this tricky is that this sound can be spelled in different ways. For example, in the word ‘eight’ the ‘ay’ sound is made by the letters ‘ei’. However, in the word ‘famous’ the ‘ay’ sound is made by the ‘a’.
Practise spelling these words at home in preparation for our spelling test on Friday 16.09.22.
