Spellings

Spellings are usaully given out on a Thursday by the Ruth Miskin Litearcy (RML) group leaders.  Spelling tests could take place any day from Monday to Thursday morning.  When writing weekly spellings

➢   LETTERS should aim to be
-    the right way round (common reversals include a, b, d, j)
-    the same size
-    the tall letters should be tall (b,d,f,h,k,l,t)
-    the letters that go below the line should go below (f, g, j, p, q)

Children should aim to spell the words on the High Frequency List correctly.  A printable version of this can be found in the Homework section of the year 1 front page.
