Alternative Spelling of the 'ai' sound  practise

Complete the Alternative Spellings for 'ai' spot and colour worksheet on Teams. 

Think about the position of each alternative spelling as this will help you with spelling in the future. Does the grapheme come in the middle or at the end of a word?

Top Tip: Say your sentence out loud first to rehearse it. It helps to put the words on your fingers and write each one down, one at a time. Don't forget to use a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop. Read it when you have finished to check it makes sense.

Daily Reading

You must read your reading book every day, just as we do in school. We do this after lunch but you can do it whenever you like! An adult must sign your diary to show this has taken place. You can of course read some of your own books at home to supplement reading. It would be great if this could be recorded in your diary too.

• Practise your multiples and play on TT Rockstars (your login is in your diary and multiples have been set)
• Practise spelling common exception words in your diary (Spelling Challenge)
• Speed read words in your Reading Challenge booklet
