Spelling
Monday
This week we are looking at homophones. What is a homophone? Click the link below for a quick recap if you are not sure.
Start the week by using the document below to recap some commonly miss-spelt homophones. Think about the ones you mix up in your own writing and focus on practising those today.
Common homophones.
Tuesday
Below are the words we are focusing on this week. Today, I would like you to research the different meaning for the words and record them. Make sure you take care with the spellings of the words when you are writing them down.
| draught | draft |
| dissent | descent |
| precede | proceed |
| wary | weary |
Wednesday
Begin by using the 'look, cover, write, check' strategy to practise the words. Then, try to think of some clever ways of remembering the different spellings. You may be able to use the meanings of the words to help you come up with a way of remembering the spellings. For example:
Billy
Eats
Cakes
And
Uses
Six
Eggs
Thursday
Today, I'd like you to put the words into sentences, thinking carefully about making sure you have got the meaning right!
Friday
Ask someone at home to test you on these words (don't worry, we'll be doing this at school too).
