Your child should know which words they are working on, although they may practise any of the words. It would also be great if they could have a go at reading them as well.
Select your words and then decide on 1 or 2 activities you will do based on the spelling grids. Or you could think of some spelling games/activities of your own. The most important thing is that you are learning how to spell your words.
