Spelling

L.I: Words ending in sure, as in measure.

L.I: To practice doubling consonants. (extra support).

Watch the video on BBC Bitesize.

Listen out for words that are pronounced with the 'ture' and 'sure' sounds.

Remember to look out for exceptions such as 'teacher'. If the root word ends with the 'ch' sound, the word ending is 'er'.

What words did you hear?

Can you make a list of these words?

Extra support - How and why do we double consonants?

The spelling rule is:

If the word has 1 syllable, 1 vowel and it ends in 1 consonant.. then you double the final consonant.

You do this before you add 'ing', 'ed', 'er', 'est'.

You don't double the consonant if the word ends in 'tion'.

For example, Sit = sitting.
