Next week, we’ll be learning about the spelling rule:
double up for a short vowel sound
An example of this is in the word difficult. The ‘i’ is a short sound if you read it aloud, therefore the following consonant ‘f’ needs to be doubled up. Another example is trapped.
To help consolidate this learning, we’d like you to practise spelling these words at home.
Yellow group
appear, different, difficult, possible, trapped, happening, opposite, arrive
Blue group
shop- shopped – shopping
hop – hopped- hopping
plod – plodded – plodding
trap – trapped -trapping
arrive, different
We’ll test ourselves on Friday 12 November to see how we’ve got on.
