Spelling - Home learning - Sound ue

For home learning, the focus is on the sound 'ue', with differentiated spelling lists that incorporate this sound. The lists include a variety of words such as 'blue', 'Tuesday', 'clue', 'pursue', 'true', 'statue', 'cue', 'rescue', 'argue', and 'value'. To further challenge the students, there is a 'challenge word' to master: 'barbecue'. Each list also provides blank boxes for any additional words that may be assigned for learning.

To aid in the spelling practice, the 'Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check' method is suggested. This technique encourages students to look at the word, say it aloud, cover it, attempt to write it from memory, and then check their work. Corrections can be made in the provided space. Additionally, a 'Read and Match' activity is included, prompting students to match words with their correct pair and then use one of them in a sentence. For a fun twist, a 'Real and Nonsense words' game invites students to identify real words and use them in sentences, while marking the nonsense words, such as 'slopue' or 'gonrue', with a cross. These engaging activities are designed to reinforce the spelling of words containing the 'ue' sound in an interactive and enjoyable manner.
