Spelling at home

I have set this up as a week programme however it does not have to be done this way. 

In the front of the spelling and reading log book there is a list of words to be learnt. The words highlighted in yellow are the words your child knows out of list 1-3. They were only tested on list 1-3. The goal is fro work through that list until they can correctly spell those words. Practice makes perfect!

Monday

Write the words five times and find the meaning of each word

e.g.  environment  environment  environment  environment  environment

       environment - the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.

Tuesday

Break up each word into syllables. Children can clap the syllables out.

e.g.  a-com-mo-da-tion

Wednesday

Add a prefix or suffix to each word

e.g. lock = unlock OR dance = dancing

Thursday

Use the words in a sentence to bring out the meaning. You could try include all words into a story. 

e.g.  We can look after our environment by making sure that we reduce, reuse and recycle.

Friday

Choose 5 of your spelling words and write a list of words that rhyme. Is the ending always spelt the same?

e.g  bat 

       cat

       rat

       mat

  environment  environment  environment

       environment - the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
