Spellings:
This week’s strategy is called ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’.
This is probably the most common strategy used to learn spellings.
Look – First look at the whole word carefully and if there is one part of the word that is difficult, look at that part in more detail.
Say – Say the word as you look at it, using different ways of pronouncing it if that will make it more memorable.
Cover – Cover the word.
Write –Write the word from memory, saying the word as you do so.
Check – Have you got it right? If yes, try writing it again and again! If not, start again – look, say, cover, write, check.
This week we are adding the suffix - ly.
serious - seriously
final - finally
sudden - suddenly
quick - quickly
careful - carefully
immediate - immediately
horrible - horribly
gentle - gently

Particularly the final two paragraphs that have not been as practiced at the others.
