Revise 'ant', 'ance', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ence' and 'ency' Endings Presentation

The educational resource titled "Revise 'ant', 'ance', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ence' and 'ency' Endings Presentation" is an interactive PowerPoint created by KS2Gems in 2020, aimed at Year 5 and Year 6 students. The presentation is designed to help students spell words with the endings that sound like /ʃəs/, spelt with 'cious' or 'tious'. It includes a variety of activities and spelling lists to reinforce the learning objective (LO) of mastering these specific word endings. Teachers are provided with detailed instructions on how to use the PowerPoint effectively, suggesting that it can be adapted for whole-class instruction, group work, or individual practice, depending on the needs of the students.

The PowerPoint contains a series of slides, each presenting a different word from the spelling list, along with a definition and a sentence with the target word missing, prompting students to deduce and write the correct word. For example, students are given the definition "brave" and must fill in the blank in the sentence "The soldier was a v_______ man." with the word "valiant". Additionally, the resource includes challenges such as writing sentences and paragraphs using the words from the spelling list, and a task where students must choose the correct spelling of words within a given text. This engaging approach not only enhances spelling proficiency but also encourages the use of a dictionary to verify word meanings, promoting a deeper understanding of vocabulary.
