Literacy
Spelling
Words coloured yellow are the ones to keep working on this fortnight to make sure you’re really confident.
We are consolidating our sentence writing skills in class at the moment. Can you write a list of sentences, using one of your words in each sentence? Remember where you need capital letters and full stops.
Choose at least two different spelling activities from the activities grid below to complete over the fortnight.
Our Additional Spelling Activities
Pairs: Write each of your words on two different colours of paper. Turn all the cards face down and mix them up. Lay out your cards in rows and flip over two cards at a time. Read each card aloud to see it they match. Keep them if they match or flip over and try again! / Objects:On a flat surface, make your words using items from around the home/outside – try toy cars, buttons, stones, sticks, grapes. / Writing On Your Back:Take it in turns to ‘write’ a word on each other’s backs with your finger. Can the person being ‘written’ on say the letters they can feel and guess the word? / Spelling Tennis: For each word in your spelling list play a game of ‘spelling tennis’ with somebody at home. Player 1 says the whole word. The player 1 says (or writes) the first letter then player 2 says (or writes) the second letter and so forth until the whole word is spelt correctly.
Visit and create your own spelling test with your words. / Write your words in the bath! Get the side of the bath or the shower screen all soapy and write with your finger. / Outdoor Writing:Write your words on the ground in chalk/mud/sand/water. / Paint your words
Play spelling noughts and crosses with an adult: each time one of you spells a word correctly you can mark your nought or cross. / Write your words with your finger in a shallow layer of dry salt on a tray, plate or tin. / Write your words in Rainbow Writing (use a different colour for each letter) or bubble writing. / Cut out letters from a newspaper or magazine to make your words
Phonics Challenge – we are hunting for the sounds ai, oi, and oa in class as these can be tricky. Look and listen out for them at home in songs, stories, newspapers and signs etc.
