Spellings - Set 4 PowerPoint

Set 4 of the Spellings PowerPoint presents a series of sentences with blanks that pupils are expected to fill in with the correct words to enhance their vocabulary and spelling skills. For instance, one sentence reads, "My football team are ________________ to win the cup this year," where students would insert the word 'determined'. This exercise is designed to bolster the students' confidence in writing and understanding the context in which these words are used. The words range from 'develop', which is used in a sentence about character creation in storytelling, to 'dictionary', emphasising the importance of using this resource to look up unknown words.

The exercise continues with a variety of words that students may find challenging, such as 'disastrous', used to describe the outcome of a baking attempt, and 'embarrass', relating to a cautionary statement about parents' behaviour. Other terms include 'environment', 'equipped', and 'especially', which are slotted into sentences about working conditions, holiday home amenities, and a song performed for loved ones, respectively. The activity also includes 'exaggerate', to describe the tendency to overstate in storytelling, and 'excellent', to commend the quality of work produced by a class. This spelling task is a practical tool for teachers to help students improve their spelling and vocabulary in a structured and engaging way.
