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
