Next week, we’ll be learning about comparative suffixes. We will be practising adding ‘er’ and ‘est’ to root words. Practise spelling the root word, then the root word + the suffixes.

It is really important that your child practises in the way that best suits them. For some tips and tricks on how best to practise your spellings at home, visit the Y3,4 spelling page on our website and click here.

Encourage children to write their spellings out a few times over the week, ready to be tested at school on a Friday.

• are
• ask
• be
• by
• come

Year 2

• are

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.
