Learn Spelling Rules: Dropping And Adding ‘y’ And Plurals (7-11 years) - Activity Pack (2)

Designed for children aged 7 to 11, the activity pack presents a series of challenges that focus on understanding and applying spelling rules. Challenge 5 specifically addresses the rule for transforming words that end in 'll' into their related adjectival or adverbial forms by simply adding a 'y'. This rule helps young learners navigate the complexities of English spelling with more confidence.

For instance, the word 'shrill' can be used in the phrase 'cry out shrilly', where 'shrilly' is the adverbial form of 'shrill'. Similarly, 'full' becomes 'fully', as in 'fully soaked', demonstrating the application of the rule. The character Zoggy reinforces this spelling rule by stating, "If a word ends in 'll', just add 'y'." Examples such as 'doll' and 'frill' are given to illustrate the point, making it easier for children to remember and utilise this spelling guideline in their writing.
