This week’s spellings are using the suffix ‘ly’ to create adverbs. Adverbs tell us ‘how’ something is being done.
Group 1: slowly, quickly, sadly, happily, describe, playful
Group 2: slowly, quickly, happily, rapidly, describe, successful, mysterious
Group 3: slowly, quickly, happily, rapidly, hungrily, describe, successful, mysterious, accidentally
You will also notice some other words on the sheet for each group. We are recapping words from previous spellings to make sure the children have embedded them. The research shows that children learn their spellings for a test but can find it hard to remember them a few weeks later. These words should not be new learning for the children but a recap of previous words.
