Spell Tricky Words with 'any' and 'every' And Middle ‘ai’ Sounds (7-11 years) - Activity Pack (1)
English Resource Description
Designed for children aged 7 to 11, this activity pack focuses on mastering the art of spelling tricky words that contain the 'any' and 'every' sounds, as well as the middle 'ai' sound. The pack presents Zoggy's Second Challenge, which uses the unpredictable British weather as a context to practice spelling. Students are encouraged to cover the words and write them from memory, reinforcing their understanding and recall of words such as "Don't complain about the rain again" and "Get training. It's always raining. Hail rain."
Zoggy reports back with a vivid description of his experience in the cold, wet British weather, expressing how it's a pain, makes him feel drained, ruins his trainers, and introduces him to shivering. Through this engaging narrative, students are prompted to read, copy, cover, and spell a list of related words. These include 'rain', 'raining', 'brain', 'Britain', 'complain', 'hail stone', 'again', 'drain', 'trainers', 'restrain', 'refrain', and 'training'. This methodical approach not only teaches spelling but also immerses students in the language and sensations associated with the weather, making learning more memorable and fun.
