Year 3 Spelling

08 June 2018

This week’s spelling list is formed using our Must Do homophones for Year 3. Children should practise listening to a sentence read aloud and writing the correct word. For example:

“I use my ears to hear what you are saying.”

Can you think of any fun ways to remember which word is right? Can you write some silly sentences? Can you show your words creatively?

• here/hear
• where/wear
• there/their/they’re
• are/our
• two/too/to

Children should learn these in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 15 June.
