Words with 'k' sound spelt 'ch' Presentation

This educational resource is designed for Years 3 and 4, focusing on the unique aspect of English spelling where words with a 'k' sound are spelt with 'ch'. The learning objective is for students to master the spelling of these particular words. The PowerPoint presentation serves as a versatile tool for teachers, allowing them to introduce the word list, consolidate the spelling knowledge, and revise the words as necessary. It caters to the class's needs, offering explanations of spelling rules and a variety of activities that can be undertaken as a whole class, in pairs, or small groups. These activities are adaptable, suitable for independent learning or pair work, and can be recorded in exercise books or on whiteboards.

The presentation includes a comprehensive word list, divided into two categories, with words originating from Greek such as 'chaos', 'character', and 'school', and those from Latin like 'chemist' and 'chemical'. Additionally, the PowerPoint provides engaging exercises such as 'Guess the word', where students can apply their knowledge, and 'Sentence Challenge' and 'Paragraph Challenge', which encourage the use of new vocabulary in context. Moreover, there is an 'Anagram Challenge' where students unscramble letters to form words from the list, with the answers provided for self-assessment. This resource is not only educational but also interactive, fostering a deeper understanding of the intricacies of English spelling.
