Mrs Bouweraerts Phase 6 Phonic Group Homework

WALT: How to spell words ending in ‘ly’ and being able to spell the common words.
WILF: I know the rules for adding the suffix ‘ly’ to a word and can change the root word to
fit the rule.
This week’s common words to learn are:
LOOK
The ‘Tricky
Bit’
Underline any bits
you will find hard to
remember- how could
you remember it?
Write the
word and
cover it up
Write the
word from
memory
Check and
write again
gone
please
ever
miss
suddenly
This week’s spelling rule is adding the suffix ‘ly’ to a word.
We often make an adverb by adding -ly to an adjective, for example: quick quickly.
Most of the time you just add ‘ly’!
e.g.
 loud - loudly
 beautiful – beautifully
However……….
If the adjective ends in:
do this:
and
add:
consonant + -le
remove the final -e
-y
l
do nothing
y
-y (except 1-syllable
adjectives)
remove the -y
-ily
Note: The odd ones out!
These irregular words DO NOT fit any rules!
day > daily
gay > gaily
For example:
terrible - terribly
Happy-happily

Please place the words next to the correct rule and write them out with the
suffix added
Example: kind- kindly
friend
proper
real
slow
grumpy
wrinkle
safe
love

especial
beautiful
curl

chill
Just add ‘ly’
e.g. kindly
Take off the final ‘e’ and add ‘y’
Just add ‘y’
Take off the ‘y’ and add ‘ily’
Note to parents:
The children will be tested on the common words. They should know these
words by next week.
I will then give the children some easy ‘ly’ words and ask them to write them
under the correct headings. I want to see if they remember the rules not the
words.
