Year 7 Spellings January-February (BSPJs)
There are 10 words to learn each week:
5 of the words concern a particular spelling rule or strategy.
The other 5 words will concern vocabulary building and are found in your class novel. You will
be expected to find the dictionary definition of the vocabulary words and then use them in a sentence.
At the end of every spelling test you must write your score and any words you struggled with on to your spelling
sheets at the back of your exercise book. We will use these at the end of each term.
