Let`s Practise Spelling

Spelling a word correctly is very important. It gives a good impression and it avoids misunderstandings.


Good spellers are skillful at breaking words up into syllables.
Syllables are the individual sound that make up a word.


Examples: play-ful, hos-pi-tal, u-ni-ver-si-ty


Breaking a word into syllables makes it easier. We only deal with one small bit at a time.
For each word give a clap for each syllable. For example, give one clap for each syllable. This means there are two claps for this word: "clap-ping".


Examples: kitchen           kit-chen
                 weekends        week-ends
                 sweetly            sweet-ly
                 window           win-dow
                 shampoo         sham-poo

Let`s Learn Homophones

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings.


Example: I found a hair in my soup          


                Sorry, did you say you found a hare in your soup?




Here are some more homophones: 


hear - here            horse - hoarse             waist - waste             won - one
see - sea                meat - meet                  no - know                  be - bee
son - sun               pain - pane                   pail - pale                  blue - blew
