This week, we will continue with our previous spelling focus: words with double consonants. These words follow one of our main spelling rules – double up for a short vowel sound. For example, in the word hopping, the double ‘p’ makes us say the short vowel version of the letter ‘o’. Without doubling up, the word would be hoping which has a long vowel sound for the ‘o’.
Children should learn the words below in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 29 March 2019.
| opportunity | appreciate | committee |
| occur | aggressive | according |
