Use this handy word list to build spelling lists for your class to practise, or build their vocabulary by challenging them to use words from the list in their writing.

Ask your child to write down the words that they need to remember how to spell. The physical act of writing the words by hand helps to anchor the spelling in children’s memories and encourages them to think about the letters that represent the sounds in the word. Typing the words into a PC or tablet isn’t as effective. Keep talking to your child and use interesting vocabulary when doing so. Try to use precise nouns, descriptive adjectives and adverbs. For spelling in year 3 and 4, the national curriculum says that pupils should 'pay special attention to the rules for adding suffixes'. Learners should begin to understand the rules for adding prefixes and suffixes to root words. They'll learn a variety of prefixes and suffixes, including the suffixes -ation, -ly and -tion. Sometimes, things don’t always go to plan. The day might be unfolding rather smoothly until you notice the sky slowly clouding over just before break time. You could even pair these spelling words with one of our fab blank word search templates and use it to generate common word search words.
