Spelling - Home learning - Sound i-e

For home learning, students are focusing on the 'i-e' sound, with a series of differentiated spelling lists that include a challenge word. The lists contain a selection of words where the 'i-e' sound is prominent, such as 'hide', 'nice', 'bike', 'write', 'ride', 'mice', 'tide', 'slime', 'time', and 'while'. The challenge word to stretch their abilities is 'guide'. Blank boxes are provided for any additional words that educators may want to add to the list for further learning.

The learning activity 'Look, Say, Cover, Write, and Check' is a structured approach to reinforce spelling skills. Students are encouraged to look at the word, say it out loud, cover the word, write it from memory, and then check their spelling. If they make a mistake, they have the opportunity to correct it. This method is applied to two sets of words, each focusing on the 'i-e' sound. Additionally, the 'Read and Match' activity invites students to match words to pictures and encourages them to write sentences using their chosen words. In the 'Real and Nonsense words' exercise, learners distinguish between real words and made-up ones, enhancing their ability to identify the 'i-e' sound in various contexts and apply it in sentence construction.
