Top Spelling Tips From Mrs Boyer:
- Study your individual spelling words (build on 5 words rather than lots of different ones). If the word is bicycle - what does each part of this word mean? Are there other words that have a similar meaning or spelling? From this word you can learn to spell hundreds more. Dig deep and enjoy learning about words!
E.g. bi/cycle, c - alternative sounds, words that end in ‘le’
- Break the word into syllables to help you spell.
- Watch out for prefixes and suffixes.
- The spelling inquiries you have completed in class is a great place to find words.
- Your vocabulary words might be in the spelling bee :)
Here are some words you might like to study in preparation to the 2024 CPS Spelling Bee:
ball
look
appointment
was
idiom
cooperate
Fifteen
Wednesday
Success
Mysteries
