Year 1 Spelling

20.10.23

For the last spelling list of this half term, the children need to revise the tricky words that they have been given previously.

This does look like a very long list but the class have been learning all of the tricky words across the half term.

Rather than writing these words on paper, can the children learn them in more creative way? Here are some ideas.

They will be tested on eight of these words on Thursday 26th October 2023.

• you
• were
• little
• said
• do
• she
• he
• sure
• pure
• so
• ask
• are
• have
• come
• here
• like
• some
• one
• into
• me
• is
• love
