Spelling and Literacy

Countdown Words! How many words can you make using these letters?

 

Look at the different ways to make the long o sound! Watch the video above and then see how many words you can come up with with the long o sound. Which spelling do you use? Remember if you hear the long o in the middle of the word then chances are it is the ‘oa’ spelling e.g. coat. If you hear a consonant at the end of the word like ‘rope’ then it is the magic e ‘o_e’ spelling. If you hear long o at the end, then most likely it will be ‘ow’ spelling! snow

1. Divide you paper into 3 sections and title each section with ‘oa’, ‘o_e’ and ‘ow’ at the top. See how many words you can come up with in each section. You can draw pictures too beside your words
2. Pick 3 or 4 words and write a sentence. Remember a sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

Reading

Remember to keep reading every day if you can, even if it’s just for 10 minutes! If you have run out of books to read then you can download free ebooks from renfrewshire Libraries online (if you are a member). Also, you can dowload free ebooks from Oxford Owl. If you are not sure which book band to select, then look at your reading book from your original homework packs, that will give you a good starting point.
