We have a new spelling activity grid to pick from. This week you need to choose an activity from the grid relating to the spelling list (words beginning with c).
| 1. Spot the Word
Look to see if you can spot smaller words inside the spelling word eg; friend, vegetable. |
2. Speed Write
Choose some words from the spelling list. How many times can you write the same word in one minute? |
3. Rainbow Words
Break a word down into syllables and write each part in a different colour eg; im / poss / i / ble |
| 4. Mnemonic
Write a mnemonic to remember the spelling: the first letter of each word in the sentence spells the word eg; because: big elephants can’t always use small exits. |
5. Backwards Words
Write out the spelling word forwards and then backwards eg; communicate / etacinummoc |
6. Silly Sentences
Write silly sentences with a spelling word in each. Underline the spelling word. |
| 7. Connect the Dots
Write the spelling words using dots, then connect the dots by tracing over them with a coloured pencil. |
8. Spelling Tennis
Play with somebody at home and evidence it in your homework book. One person starts with the first letter of the word; the other person says the next letter. The last person to add a letter, wins! |
9. Musical Words
Make up a little thyme, rap or song to remember words or rules for spellings eg; Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F,F,I, Mrs C, Mrs U, Mrs L, T, Y- difficulty. |
