Remember to practise these spellings each day:

·  Break the words up into syllables to make it easier - mark them on this sheet

·  Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check

·  Write any tricky ones out ten times (or more!)

·  Try to think of any mnemonics (word memory tricks) to help you, e.g. ‘Dr. Doolittle’s address’ to remember the double d in ‘address’

·  Use the following websites to help you (they’re on the school website, in the Pupils’ Page)
