Hello again,

Welcome to week 2 of our spellings, during home learning.

Because it's been a while since we were all doing phonics and spelling together, as with last week, we're looking again at some of the tricky words and graphemes (sounds) we'd learnt before.

• Using Phonics Play, play 'Tricky Word Trucks' & 'Flashcard Speed Trial'.
• Use phase 4 'Train your Brain'
• Find the 'Choose words' option and read through all the words.
• Next click on each word to remind yourself of the bits that make each word tricky.
• Look carefully at 'are', 'said' and 'they'.
• Use the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check to practice spelling each word, together with the other ideas on the previous page.
• Now have a look at the examples of words using the spellings 'ay', 'ou' and 'ie'.
• Use the above methods to practice the following words.

say

play

cloud

found

pie

tried

are

said

they

Write each word in a sentence using neat handwriting (with kick up and flick outs) capital letters, finger spaces and full-stops.

On Friday, get an adult to test you.  I'd love to know how you do.  Let me know and we'll celebrate your efforts.  We won't publish your individual scores, so don't worry if you don't get them all, as long as you've tried. :-)
