Spelling - Home learning - Sound ew

For home learning, students are provided with differentiated spelling lists that focus on the sound "ew." This sound is featured in a variety of words that the children are encouraged to learn, with space available for any additional words that may be deemed necessary. The spelling list includes words such as "new," "threw," "few," "jewel," "grew," "chewable," "flew," "dewdrop," "drew," and "curfews." To add an extra challenge, the word "bejewelled" is included as a challenge word for the students to master.

The home learning activity 'Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check!' is a structured method to help children practice their spelling. They are instructed to look at the word, say it aloud, cover it, attempt to write it from memory, and then check their spelling. If necessary, they make corrections. This technique is applied to all the words on the list. Additionally, the 'Read and Match' exercise encourages students to use the words in context by writing sentences with them. To further reinforce learning, a 'Real and Nonsense words' activity is included, where students identify real words containing the "ew" sound, use them in sentences, and mark the nonsense words, helping to distinguish between actual words and made-up ones.
