Some different ‘hands on’ ways for your

child to practise their spellings

Play Dough Words - use play dough to form letters to spell out each

word.

Pipe Cleaner Words - use pipe cleaners and bend and form to

make letters used to write out the words.

Stamp It - use alphabet stamps and ink pads to stamp out words or

let child use fingerprints to write words if you don't have letter

stamps.

Finger Paint - let them get messy and have some sensory fun and

finger paint to spell their words

Type It - let them type their spelling words on the computer/iPad/

laptop.

Rainbow Words - spell words using different coloured markers or

crayons for each letter.

Salt/Sand/Flour Tray - spell words using finger or paintbrush. Put

coloured construction paper under the salt, sand or flour to make

the letters really stand out.

Trace - let them trace their words on your palm/hand. Have them

focus on properly forming each letter so you can feel it being

drawn.

Shaving Cream - Make a thin layer of shaving cream on a tray and

use a paintbrush or better yet a fingertip to spell out the words.

Trace in the Air - watch as children trace the letters in the air to

spell each word.

Glue & Glitter - Write out spelling words in glue and sprinkle some

glitter on top.

Window Writing - use Crayola Window Markers and write words on

windows or sliding glass doors. They wash off easily and writing on

windows or doors is so much more fun than boring old paper

Wordsworth’s Magic Spell Book

KS1

Welcome to Wordsworth’s Magic Spell Book!

This book has been carefully designed to make sure that your child

has a rich spelling curriculum. Here are some of the ingredients

which you can expect to see in Wordsworth’s Magic Spell Book.

1. A dash of fabulous phonics

This is when children learn to spell using sounds and the letters or

groups of letters (graphemes) which make that sound.

igh—sigh, high, fright, might, sight, light

i-e—bike, hike, like, ride, side, wise, rise

2. A splash of high frequency words

These are common irregular or commonly mis-spelt words that need

to be practiced regularly.

3. A sprinkling of Magical morphemes

Morphemes are basically about understanding chunks of meaning

inside words. For example, it might be learning about compound

words, root words or affixes.

Hopefully, this booklet will explain a few of the tricky things you will

need to remember.

the, a, do, to, today, of, said, says, are, were, was, is, his,

has, I, you, your, they, be, he, me, she, we, no, go, so,

by, my, here, there, where, love, come, some, one,

once, ask, friend, school, put, push, pull, full, house, our


KS1

Definitions:

Compound Words:

A compound word is a word made up of two other words:

football, headrest, broomstick, etc.

Root Word

A root word is a word to which prefixes and suffixes can be added

to make other words; for example in unclear, clearly and cleared,

the root word is clear.

un like ly

prefix root word suffix

Definitions continued:

Affix

An affix is a small unit of meaning (morpheme) which is not a word

itself but can be attached to a word. An affix can be a prefix or suf-

fix.

Prefix

A prefix is a morpheme which can be added to the beginning of a

word to change its meaning. For example:

inedible

disappear

untie

Suffix

A suffix is a morpheme which is added to the end of a word. There

are two main categories:

Some suffixes change the tense or grammatical status of the word,

e.g. from present tense to past tense (work—worked).

Other suffixes change the word class, e.g. from verb to noun (work—

worker) or noun to adjective (accident—accidental).

In accordance with the New National Curriculum 2014, KS1 pupils

will be expected to know and use the terms: compound word, root

word, affix, prefix and suffix.

prefix root suffix


KS1

To become a magical speller, you will need to know which letters of

the alphabet are vowels and which are consonants.

These are the five vowels in the alphabet. You just need to learn

them off by heart!

All the other letters are consonants.

When you start to learn spelling rules, this will really help you. For ex-

ample, very soon you will learn about the suffix ‘ed’.

Adding ‘ed’

Just add ‘ed’ to the end of a word (look—looked) unless you need

to use one of these rules:

If the word ends in ‘y’, you change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ and add

‘ed’. reply—replied.

If the root word ends in ‘e’, you drop the ‘e’ then add ‘ed’.

If the root word has a short vowel sound and a single consonant,

you double the consonant and add ‘ed’.

You will definitely need to know which letters are vowels and which

ones are consonants!
