Spelling tests
Dear Parents
Please find listed below the sounds your child will be learning during Term 1. Each class will be writing their own words as we are teaching the children a phonics sound so that they can spell more than a set of 10 words. This will also help improve your child’s reading skills which will make reading easier and more enjoyable. Please encourage your child to practice the sound and to try and find as many words as they can that contain the sound. We are also encouraging the children to learn the Dolch High Frequency Sight Words that are in their Personal Dictionaries as these appear in many books your child will read and there are no phonics or spelling rules that can help them sound out these words.
