Statutory Word List Mat

The Statutory Word List Mat is an educational tool designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students to enhance their vocabulary and spelling skills. It contains a comprehensive list of words that students are expected to learn and use competently in their writing and speech. The mat is divided into two sections, each presenting a variety of words that cover different aspects of the English language. The first section includes words such as 'accident', 'actually', 'address', and 'appear', which are fundamental to constructing accurate and expressive sentences. It also includes words like 'breathe', 'business', 'caught', and 'centre', which often pose spelling challenges to young learners.

The second section of the mat continues this theme, providing words that delve into more complex vocabulary and concepts. Words such as 'height', 'history', 'imagine', and 'important' encourage students to explore and articulate more advanced ideas. It also includes words that are commonly misspelled or confused, such as 'material', 'medicine', 'occasion', and 'opposite', as well as 'peculiar', 'pressure', 'probably', and 'separate'. The mat serves as a valuable resource for teachers to ensure that their students are developing a strong foundation in English literacy, with a focus on accurate spelling and word usage. This educational aid is a testament to the importance of vocabulary development in the primary years of schooling.
