Writing accurate spelling is a significant part of the process of learning to write at primary school. Year 5 spellings are a bit complicated, so children need to work hard to learn them.
Tricks for learning spellings
- Write down the spellings and learn. The process of writing down the words by hand engraves the spellings in children minds.
- Play spelling games instead of wasting time on other games. This will help kids get familiar with new words.
- Keep revising words at different intervals throughout the day.
