Elm Morning Class Weekly Spellings 2024

Weekly Spellings Elm Morning Class

 

On this page you will find the spellings that your child will be practising in school each week.  Your child should attempt to master the spellings listed in Challenge 1 each week.  If they can do this easily, they should then try to spell the words included in Challenge 2.

It is very important that your child writes their spellings down when practising them at home rather than just saying the letters out loud.  Children should also be encouraged at this stage to say the names of the letters when talking about spellings rather than their sounds.
