Spelling Book 3: Year 3, Ages 7-8

Spelling

Ideal for both whole-school and independent learning, this comprehensive and high-quality series builds on pupils’ phonic knowledge while also helping them to understand how word structure and meaning can help them to spell words. Providing excellent preparation for the national tests, the Schofield & Sims Spelling activities systematically introduce and revise spelling conventions, explore word structure and the relationship between words of shared origin, suggest strategies for remembering common ‘exception words’ (or ‘tricky words’), teach pupils how to monitor their own spelling, and encourage them to write sentences from memory or dictation. As pupils work through each book, the intensive practice provided will enable them continually to develop, consolidate and improve their skills, encouraging them towards effective spelling for life. Spelling 3 covers: spelling words by adding prefixes and suffixes; using rules for adding suffixes; applying guidelines for endings where pronunciation may mislead; learning and applying guidelines relating to alternative spellings of phonemes; spelling words with apostrophes.
