Year 3 Spelling

22 March 2019

This week’s spellings all have the ‘super’ or ‘auto’ prefixes.

Practise by using one of the spelling strategies stuck into the back of your homework book. Check you understand their meaning by asking a friend, an adult or looking it up in a dictionary or (with an adult’s permission) online.

Children should practise spelling these words in preparation for a test on Friday 29 March 2019.

We are learning our 3 times tables.

15 March 2019

The Spelling homework this week is to begin to practise the Year 3 common exception word list.

Get your child to look at the list and pick out some of the words they struggle to spell and practise these. If your child isn’t sure where to start, the common exception words have been grouped and it would be best to pick one group to look at per fortnight. Learning how to spell the words listed will build your child’s confidence in spellings and improve their writing.

Spellings

This week’s spelling list is formed using our Must Do homophones for Year 3. Children should practise listening to a sentence read to them out loud and writing the correct homophone. For example:

“They’re going to a party this weekend.”

Can you think of any fun ways to remember which word is right? Can you write some silly sentences? Can you show your words creatively?

• your/you’re
• its/it’s
• of/off
• they’re/their/there
• which/witch

Children should learn these in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 13 December.
