This Week’s Spellings: Homophones (Year 3/4)

This week, our focus is on homophones – words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. For example, there, their, and they’re all sound alike but are used in different ways.

Learning homophones helps children improve their spelling and understand how context changes meaning. We’ll be practicing these words in class and exploring sentences to see how each one is used correctly.

Encourage your child to look out for homophones in their reading and try using them in their writing at home!

Upon feedback from parents evening, we have now reduced the number of spellings from 16 to 12 a week. This will now include 8 spellings from our RWI spelling scheme and 4 common exception words.

Spellings will be given out on a Monday and tested on a Friday.

If your child is finding 16 spellings difficult – please focus on the 6 common exception words at the end of the table (we are recapping these from KS1 to begin with) and choose a few of the year 3/4 spelling words to focus on.

We complete daily RWI spelling lessons where the children learn the spelling pattern and complete tasks e.g. dots and dashes and word changers.

Kind regards

Mrs Edwards
