Happy New Year!

I hope you are well rested and ready to learn some more spelling words! This week, we will be starting to learn our common exception words. These are words that we use often, but do not follow typical phonetic patterns we know.

Currently, we are going to learn our spellings on a weekly cycle. This is different to the fortnightly cycle we were following.

Our spelling words are: after, again, any, bath, beautiful, because, behind, both, break, busy.
