Edward’s Top Tips!
Some words are two
words together
can + not = can’t
I + will = I’ll
did + not = didn’t
do + not = don’t
To remember the silent k in know and knew, try
saying them. k-new and k-now. I know this will be
helpful!
Roar! Remember to keep practising.
A little every day is much better than a
long session once a week.
We can all be Wheeldon Wizards!
Being able to spell is directly linked to being able to read
and write, so here’s the secret to becoming a Wheeldon
‘Wiz of a speller’: lots and lots of practice!
This book lists all the key vocabulary that you need
to learn. You will be given a set of spellings and you
need to learn ALL the words in that set thoroughly. Look
for the highlighted box to see which list you are
learning.
When you know every word in that set, and you get them all
right in school, then you can colour in a juggling ball and move on to the
next set. One mistake, and you have to repeat the set again!
Don’t forget to look inside for some top tips to help you become a
Wheeldon Wizard.
Please look after this Spelling book very carefully and bring it into school
every day.
At the end of the book, you will have a giant check-up. Your teacher will
write any words here that you may need to practise again.
