Revise 'cious' and 'tious' Endings Presentation

A comprehensive PowerPoint presentation has been created to assist Year 5 and 6 students in revising and learning how to spell words with 'cious' and 'tious' endings, which are pronounced as /ʃəs/. The learning objective (LO) is to enable students to accurately spell words that end with these specific suffixes. The presentation includes teacher instructions, spelling lists, and a variety of activities designed to facilitate learning through engagement and practice. These activities range from whole-class instruction to group work and independent exercises, allowing for flexibility to meet the diverse needs of the class.

The PowerPoint is structured with slides that provide clues in the form of definitions and sentences with missing words, prompting students to deduce and write the correct word on their whiteboards. This interactive approach helps students to focus on the tricky parts of each word and develop mnemonic strategies to remember the correct spellings. Additional challenges include writing sentences and paragraphs using the words from the spelling list, as well as a 'What's the meaning?' task, where students identify words with 'ous' endings in a text and write down their meanings. These exercises not only reinforce spelling but also enhance vocabulary and comprehension skills.
