This week, we’re recapping a spelling rule that we have previously learnt: double up for a short vowel sound. In our writing, lots of us are still not ‘doubling up’ for short vowel sounds. For example, when writing the word ‘hopping’, many of us might spell it ‘hoping’ which is incorrect. In this example, the ‘o’ makes a short vowel sound and so the next consonant ‘p’ needs to be doubled up. This is an especially significant error as it completely changes the meaning of the word.
This week, children should practise this rule by writing a short story or poem that contains as many ‘double up’ words as possible.
