This week the spelling chant to practise with your child is ‘drop the y for an i’. The adverb of these words is modified by adding either an er added or est at the end which changes the meaning. Children should learn all these words and see if they can come with some of their own.
LO: drop the y for an i. | ||
funnily | funnier | funniest |
nastily | nastier | nastiest |
crazily | crazier | craziest |
greedily | greedier | greediest |
angrily | angrier | angriest |
cheekily | cheekier | cheekiest |
There’s another spelling rule used in the spellings this week. Can you spot which one it is?

We are breaking from the norm this week by only having six spellings. This is because the spellings are a bit trickier than usual.
The spellings are all ‘adding connectives’ which we’ll be using in our writing next week. Most of the spellings have a capital letter and a comma because we will be using them as sentence openers.
(‘Another point is…’ flows better without a comma.)
1. | First of all, |
2. | Furthermore, |
3. | Also, |
4. | Another point is |
5. | Additionally, |
6. | Moreover, |

4. | roll | rolled |
5. | ask | asked |
