Spelling

Continue to work through the Statutory word list for Years 3 and 4.

• Choose five words at a time from statutory list. (see below)
  Discuss their meanings and how pupils might remember them. e.g. mnemonics (big elephants can always understand small elephants = because)
  
  Pupils use one of the strategies already taught to learn these words:
  Identifying the tricky part of the word
  • Pyramid words
  • Trace, copy, replicate
  • Look, say, cover, write, check
  • Drawing around the word to show the shape.
