Sounds and Syllables
It is important that your child spends time learning the words given in this section of their homework as these words form part of the Statutory Spelling list for Year 3 and 4 and may well feature in future formal assessments.
They are also really useful words to know how to spell when writing.
Each week we are going to give you a five words from the Year 3/4 Statutory Spelling list, this is a list of spellings that you need to be able to spell accurately by the time you leave Year 4.
We need you to use your Sounds and Syllables techniques to Say the Word, Snip into syllables, Say the sounds and draw the sound lines and then check your spellings. As this will help you learn them.
Each week some spellings from the previous week will appear to ensure that you keep practising them, we have not made a mistake we are asking you to over learn words that you have already seen before.
We have included a Technique bookmark to remind you what to do and also a separate answer sheet for parents so that they can support you.
Please spend between 5 and 10 minutes every day having a go at this.
Reading
This week we would like you to read all about the Romans. We then need you to answer the comprehension questions that go with the reading.
There are 3 different levels of text and questions - Bronze is for those children who are reading books within the scheme; Silver is for confident readers and Gold is for those who want/need a challenge. Please complete the text at the appropriate level.
