It is important that you learn to spell these words correctly, but also make sure you know what they mean and how
to use them in a sentence. Investigate other words that fit the rule/ pattern.
The words in the shaded boxes are from the Y5/6 key word spelling list. You will be tested on these as part of the Y6
SAT’s. After half term I will be asking you to write the key words in a sentence as part of the test to show that you
understand what they mean.
