Year 2 Home Learning Focus – 29.06.2020

Spelling FocusToday we are going to revisit a spelling

pattern we have looked at before, adding

the suffixes –er and -est. Remember if a

word ends in a short vowel sound (a, e, I

,o ,u) and a consonant. We double the

consonant before adding –er or –est.

Please practise the spellings below

using look, say, cover, write and check.

For an extra challenge, try to write

these words in full sentences.
